Read below to learn the right method behind the perfect shave. |

- Wash the face and beard before shaving to soften and set up beard hairs.
- Apply the appropriate shave formula: Maximum Comfort Shave Cream,
Mega Foam Shave or Maximum Comfort Shave gel to plump up the beard hairs.
- Apply lather against beard growth to hold warmth and water to each beard hair
to soften it.
- A short 30 second wait gives the beard hairs sufficient time to soften.

- Shave in short, even strokes, in the direction of the beard growth.
- Shaving against the growth may cause ingrown hairs.
- Shave "with the grain" in this order:
- Cheeks - shave downward
- Neck - shave inward at the sides, upward from the Adam's apple,
and downwards below the Adam's apple
- Upper Lip - shave downward
- Chin - shave last as these hairs are the coarsest and need
the most time to "soften up", shave downward
- Rinse the blade often during the shave with hot running water.
- Never wipe blades with tissue or towel, as this action dulls them faster.

- Follow up with Razor Burn Relief Ultra, the ideal post-shave treatment to soothe,
hydrate and provide lasting relief from shave irritation. There's no better way to
restore facial skin to its pre-shave condition.
- Replace razor often.

- The best time to shave is after showering. Warm water combined with the steam of the shower will soften whiskers, making them easier to cut. If you prefer to shave in the shower, invest in a good "fogless" shaving mirror that mounts on the wall in the shower. If you can't shower before shaving, try softening whiskers by placing a warm washcloth on your face for a couple of minutes.
- To achieve a smoother, sleeker shave, use Invigorating Face Scrub once a week
or more often as preferred. The energizing gel scrub actively exfoliates to smooth skin's texture; unclogs pores. Preps face for shaving.
- Go slowly. Take your time. A rushed shave will show - the lone patch of whiskers
in an overlooked place, or a bleeding cut - and you'll feel the burn.
- A note on razors: When it is time to replace the blade? There is no rule of thumb - some men throw away a blade after three shaves, some use it longer. However, a fresh blade provides a closer, more comfortable shave.
- To get those hard to reach places, twist and contort your face, but don't pull skin taut with your hands. The whiskers could spring back below the skin's surface, causing ingrown hairs.
- Don't press too hard. Let the weight of the razor do most of the work. You want to take off the hairs, not your skin.
