Pro Tips

  • Heat the razor

    Lay the hot towel on the rim of the basin after using it... then put the razor in the basin water to heat the blade by resting the handle on the towel. It makes for an even better shave, and longer lasting blade.

  • Skip the harsh alcohol aftershaves

    Our routine includes a cold water splash after shaving... it closes the pores without alcohol as found in many popular aftershave products. It's just very cold water. Then after that... use an aftershave lotion without alcohol. Better for healthy skin.

  • Kettle Steam

    If you're bringing the hot towel to your face and it's too hot then keep the towel a couple inches from your face and let the steam from the towel begin to warm your face and do it's magic. Feels great.
