When it comes to shaving, not everyone wants to use an electric razor not every guy wants a cut throat shave and not every guy can get to the barbers. So what’s the next best thing you ask? Well a decent, and we mean a really decent razor.

Prepare your face: A perfect shave require more that just a dollop of shaving cream and of you go, you need to prep your face, like washing your face with hot water or taking a shower, the steam opens the pores, softens the skin and washes out the impurities from the skin. Add a few drops of pre-shave oil to lubricate and protect your skin.

Use the right tools: You need to make your shave as smooth and as clean as possible with a wet shave, and with the Barbarossa pleasingly weighty razor, you’ll be more than just pleased with the result. Apply a shaving cream using a brush, as it will build a thicker lather that’ll raise your whiskers letting you get closer to the root for an effective shaving action.

The shave: With your free hand pull your skin taut before each stroke, it keeps the blade from pulling the hair with it, which we might add will hurt. Make sure you rinse the razor with cold water between shaves to ensure that the skin is tightened.

The Aftershave: Make sure when you’re all done, you use a good moisturiser or balm to minimise irritation and stop razor rash. It’s important that you restore the hydrolipid film that has been removed from the blade.
