✨ The Guide to the Perfect Shave

For Soft, Smooth, and Healthy Skin – Step-by-Step

Shaving is not just a daily procedure — it's a small self-care ritual. With the right approach, your skin will be soft, clean, and comfortable. Follow the steps below to get the smoothest result possible without irritation.

Step 1: Skin Preparation

Shaving is best when the skin is clean and slightly relaxed. The ideal time is after a warm shower. The steam softens the hair shafts and eases the razor's glide.

Tip: If you are not in a rush, a warm towel applied for a few minutes works wonders too 😊

Step 2: Lather / Cream / Soap – Protect Your Skin

Use a pre-shave oil followed by a shaving cream or soap – it moisturizes the skin, simplifies the razor's glide, and reduces irritation. Add a little water if needed to re-moisten the area.

• A brush distributes the lather better.
• It "lifts" the facial hair, creating a flat surface for the razor.

Step 3: Let the Razor Do the Work

Take a new, clean blade and start shaving in the direction of hair growth, at about a 30° angle. Move slowly, with short strokes, and do not apply too much pressure.

Golden Rule: The razor works, you just gently guide it.

Step 4: The Neck Area — Shave in the Direction of Hair Growth

Hair on the neck often grows in different directions, especially around the Adam's apple. Make the first pass in the direction of growth to minimize irritation.

For some, a second pass works by reapplying lather and shaving against the grain, but skip this step if you have sensitive skin.

Step 5: Lips, Chin, Legs, Bikini Area

Shave these difficult areas last, when the hair is already well softened. Use your free hand to stretch the skin to create a flatter surface for the blade.

On the legs — especially around the ankles, shins, and knees — move cautiously and try to flatten the area by straightening the leg.

Step 6: Rinse with Cold Water

After shaving, splash cold water, rinse off the lather, and thoroughly clean the razor and brush.

Step 7: Post-Shave Care

Finish the ritual with a soothing After-Shave balm or spray — it reduces irritation, moisturizes, and helps heal minor cuts.
