Shaving method for men

1. Shave after shower, before breakfast: skin is more relaxed and beard is softer.

2. First, wet skin with hot water and apply a little "Proraso Before and After Shave Soothing Cream". Camphor opens pores resulting in a closer and more soothing shave.

3. Next, run a shaving brush under hot water, apply a small amount of "Proraso Shaving Soap" to the tip of the brush, and in a circular movement bring the soap to a lather on the skin. The brush exfoliates, massages and lubricates skin while helping to raise hairs for a better shave. Set the brush aside.

4. Wet blade under hot water. With the first stroke of the blade you shave in the direction of the hair's growth. Rinse the blade often. Make only one pass, just enough to get rid of the hair ends.

5. Slightly wet the tip of the brush with hot water and re-lather the skin.

6. Now shave against direction of hair's growth. Apply more lather with the finger where multiple passes of the blade may be needed. For very heavy beards or very sensitive skins, repeat steps 5 and 6 again. Results will be quite astonishing!

7. Rinse brush well. When skin is rinsed and dry, re-apply "Proraso Before and After Shave Soothing Cream" as an antiseptic and astringent, to calm blade fire and irritation, and moisturize skin.

Make shaving a more pleasurable experience! No more cuts, ingrown hairs or red dots. Your shave will be closer than ever before, and beard will grow a lot slower. Avoid tight collars.

N.B. Best shave will occur with the best blades. Shaving foam users, follow the same steps.
