Wet shaving provides an especially close shave and is often the answer to ingrown hairs and rash, especially if currently using an electric razor or foam from an aerosol can. Warm water softens the hair and makes your face more supple. It aids the facial hair in becoming more receptive to shaving and makes it easier to remove hairs without irritation.
A shaving brush is warm to the skin and raises the hair for shaving while massaging the face and improving skin circulation. It is kind, cleansing and mildly exfoliating. Using natural glycerin soap removes excess facial oil, is gentle to the skin and leaves your face feeling fresh and invigorated. For sensitive skin, avoid the use of after shaves or products that contain irritating alcohol and harsh ingredients found in many over-the-counter products.
To use a shaving brush: It's all about the water - too much and you get bubble water, too little and you get dry film and insufficient lather. Generally speaking, it is not a thick interfering foam like what is found in store brand shaving canisters, but rather a layer that allows the razor to slide along the face without too much foam to get in the way of a close shave. You can control the amount of lather created by how much water remains in the brush, how much soap or cream is applied to the bristles and the scrubbing motion used on the shaving area. Experiment and you will find what works best for you.
Soap or Cream? More info... Also visit our companion site for videos and additional information at www.shaveinfo.com Moisten area to be shaved with warm water to soften hairs, thoroughly wet brush, shake off some excess water if necessary, rotate and lather brush over shaving soap or cream (like stirring a cup of coffee, for example) and apply in a back and forth and slightly circular motion to the shaving area - the lather is created on your face. Finish with a non-irritating after shave or moisture balm as needed and to help restore moisture and your skin's natural acid mantle.
