Amaranth Wood Shaving Brush - High Mountain White Fibre

For the best results, shave in the morning, ideally after a shower. Heat and moisture soften the beard and prepare the skin for the blade.

Prepare your shaving lather with a brush by working up your shaving soap or cream. This step hydrates and lifts the hair while protecting the skin from irritation.

Apply the lather to your damp face in circular motions, then shave with the grain, limiting the number of passes. For a second pass, apply lather again and shave against the grain, as your comfort allows.

After shaving, rinse your face with cool water, then apply an after-shave balm to soothe and rehydrate the skin.

The longevity of your shaving brush depends on how it is cared for. We recommend rinsing the hair of your brush thoroughly in lukewarm water after each use to remove any soap or cream residue and preserve its qualities for as long as possible. Avoid hot water, which could damage the fibres. Gently squeeze the hair between your fingers to remove excess water, then lightly rub it on a bath towel. Finally, store your brush head down on a suitable stand to help it dry properly.

The choice of soap also matters: some soaps on the market have a pH that is too acidic, which can weaken the fibres and cause premature hair loss. Choose products designed for traditional shaving to preserve the quality of your shaving brush.
