Antique European Grey Shaving Brush

With shaving soap: Lightly moisten the brush with warm water and make gentle circular motions over the soap, previously placed in your bowl. Once a rich and creamy lather is formed, apply it to your damp skin using circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes. This action will stimulate your skin, soften, and lift the beard hairs to facilitate shaving.

With shaving cream: With your face moistened and the brush gently dampened with warm water, place a small amount of cream on the bristles, either in a shaving bowl or directly on each cheek, and apply using a circular motion. Upon contact with the cream, the brush’s natural emulsifying action creates a hydrating lather.

To maintain the effectiveness of your shaving brush, rinse it with warm water after each use to remove all traces of cream or soap. Gently squeeze out excess water and rub the bristles lightly on a clean, dry towel. Then store it on a stand, preferably with the head facing downward, to allow any remaining moisture to drain.
