Ideally, shave after a hot bath or shower, the heat and moisture will help prepare the skin and whiskers for your shave. Apply the pre-shave oil and work into the skin and beard to soften and prepare the skin before shaving. Apply shave cream as normal, gently shave with the grain and rinse your razor regularly throughout for a smooth and comfortable shave. Rinse and follow up with Gentlemen’s Tonic Soothing Aftershave Balm for a perfect finish. For our complete guide to the ‘perfect shave’ please see our shaving guide.
