How to prepare your shave?

Our Plisson brand has been an expert in the field of shaving since 1808. This long experience has enabled us to design high quality, effective and above all qualitative products. Your satisfaction and the care of your skin being our priorities, we constantly strive to offer high-performance shaving elements adapted to each type of beard and to all skin sensitivities. Our site will let you discover each of our products with their detailed description.

Our products: beard care for men

As shaving concerns the vast majority of men, we have designed products adapted for all, ensuring softness and care. Since a bad shave can easily lead to injuries, irritation or dry skin, we have optimised our natural products as well as our accessories and razors. By choosing to trust us, you ensure your beard and your face the best possible care at a very good price.

We offer several models of razors, including safety razors, barber razors, hair clippers and finishing razors. All of them have efficient blades, which promise you a long-lasting shave. The ergonomic shape of the razors we offer allows them to glide smoothly over your skin and adapt to your body type.

This essential accessory is made of natural badger hair. Their softness and suppleness will allow you to apply different treatments to your skin. Using the shaving brush when applying a shaving cream will create a thick lather and protect your skin as it deserves.

We offer a range of natural skin care products to moisturise and protect your skin during the shaving process. These products are essential, especially if you shave very regularly or even daily.

In addition to shaving brushes, natural care products and razors, our site presents its shaving sets and accessories. These items are perfect for achieving a precise, quality shave, always respecting your skin. You will find all the necessary accessories in a shaving set.

Tips and tricks for a good shave

To take care of your beard and skin without risking damage to either, there are a few essential steps to follow before, during and after shaving.

Before shaving: prepare your skin

A good shave begins even before the blade touches your skin. Start by cleansing your face with our daily facial cleansing gel, which removes impurities and excess sebum that accumulate throughout the day. Then, lukewarm water helps soften the hairs. We also recommend using a natural moisturising treatment to nourish your skin and prepare it for shaving: well-hydrated skin is significantly less prone to tightness and irritation.

During shaving: the right preparation, the right technique

Using a high-quality razor, together with a shaving cream that works like a shaving gel or a shaving soap, is essential. Our natural shaving cream is perfectly suited to daily use thanks to its easy-to-work texture, while our shaving soap is ideal for those who enjoy a traditional shaving ritual and is used with a shaving brush to create a rich, creamy lather.

Use your shaving brush to work the shaving cream or shaving soap into a rich, dense lather and help prevent irritation. Its natural hairs lift the beard hairs and improve the glide of the blade over the skin, reducing the risk of cuts.

After shaving: soothe and moisturise

Once you have finished shaving, our alum block helps instantly close small cuts and tones the skin. For the perfect finishing touch, leaving your skin soft and healthy, apply an aftershave balm, such as our natural aftershave balm, or a moisturiser such as our facial moisturising fluid. If you shave your head completely, our aftershave balm for the scalp has been specially formulated for this more sensitive area.

If you do not shave your entire face, using a beard oil will leave your beard hairs softer and more supple while nourishing the skin underneath.

By following these three steps – preparing, shaving and soothing – and combining our razors, shaving brushes and range of skincare products, you can give your skin a complete grooming routine, carefully designed down to the smallest detail for a comfortable shave every day.
