Odyssée Macassar Ebony Gold Shaving Set Mach3 European Grey

Shave preferably in the morning, just after a shower and before breakfast: the combination of heat and humidity softens the hair, making it easier to cut, and makes your skin less sensitive to the blade.

It is important to use “pre-shave” products to properly prepare the skin. These products provide a protective and moisturizing layer and help eliminate sebum, thereby facilitating the razor’s glide.

Apply your shaving lather to the skin using a brush loaded with soap or shaving cream:

1. With shaving soap: Lightly moisten the brush hair with warm water. Rub it gently on the soap in circular motions until a rich lather is formed. Apply it with the brush to the previously moistened face (ideally after a shower). Work it in circular motions for one or two minutes to stimulate the skin and lift the hair for a more effective shave.

2. With shaving cream: Place a small amount of cream on the dampened brush or directly on the moistened cheeks, then lather the face with circular motions for one to two minutes. This prepares the skin and triggers the emulsifying reaction that creates the lather.

Once the lather is evenly applied, you may begin shaving. To avoid irritation and achieve a cleaner result, shave in the direction of hair growth. If a second pass is needed, re-lather and shave this time against the grain.

Finally, rinse your face with cool water and apply an aftershave balm to soothe and rehydrate the skin. You are ready to start the day!

To preserve your shaving brush for many years, rinse it thoroughly after each use to remove all traces of cream or soap. Squeeze out excess water with your fingers and gently rub the hair on a towel before storing it, bristles down, in an appropriate stand.

Regularly check the sharpness of your razor blade and replace it when worn. Rinse the razor with hot water after each use to remove hair and residue and prevent bacteria from accumulating. When properly cleaned, the blade maintains its sharpness and efficiency longer, ensuring a truly enjoyable shave.
