Shaving brushes help to enhance your shaving experience by giving you a more comfortable, closer shave.   

The bristles on a shaving brush have to be a balance between the right degree of resistance and softness, with the ability to raise the beard and generate a fine, rich lather.

It is also extremely important that there is a stand for the brush as the bristles should always dry down and not up to the handle.  The latter is less hygienic and can lead to the bristles falling out.  You should always dry your brush by hanging it on the stand provided.

Before using the brush for the first time wash it with soap and water and then rinse in clean water.  When you are ready to shave, immerse bristles in clean, warm water and shake off excess.  Apply shaving crème to wet brush and distribute the crème about the moistened area to be shaved before working up to a creamy lather in a circular motion.  (You may need to use a little more shave crème with a new shaving brush.)  Always rinse the brush in clean water after use and do not boil or soak.

It is best for your skin if after shaving and rinsing you use a face wash, rinse and pat dry with a clean towel.  Then complete the experience by applying a facial moisturiser.  For more tips on shaving
