Traditional Shaving Products

Shaving Soap : The key to a successful shave

Shaving soap is essential for preparing the skin and facilitating the passage of the razor. It generates a creamy lather, reducing the risk of irritation while providing a pleasant shaving experience.

How do you use it ?

1. Wet the area to be shaved with warm or hot water.
2. Soap a wet shaving brush with the soap, using circular movements.
3. Apply the lather to the skin, alternating between circular and back and forth movements.
4. Shave gently, then rinse with cold or warm water.
   
5. Leave the soap to dry in the open air after each use to prolong its life.

Aftershave : Soothing and moisturising

After-shave is the final step to calm and moisturise the skin. Formulated with natural ingredients, it helps prevent irritation, closes the pores and limits the appearance of pimples or ingrown hairs.

How to apply it ?

1. Rinse your face with cold water to remove any foam residue.
2. Gently dry with a clean towel.
3. Apply a small amount of aftershave, patting until absorbed.
4. In case of redness or cuts, use a moistened alum stone for its soothing and healing properties.
