1. Prepare

The key to a perfect shave is to prepare your skin, if possible shave during or after a hot shower. The heat and moisture helps to soften the beard and prepare the skin for the shave. Cleanse your skin with our daily Facial Cleanser for the perfect start to your shave.

2. Apply Truefitt & Hill Pre Shave Oil

Truefitt and Hill Pre Shave Oil is designed to protect the skin from the razor blade, soften the whiskers of the beard, help the razor blade glide smoothly, reduce irritation and nourish the skin. Work a small amount o oil into the face and beard before applying shaving cream.

3. Apply Shaving Cream

Our glycerin based Shaving Creams with natural moisturisers are best applied with a badger hair shaving brush. Using a shaving brush helps to create a rich lather and lift each individual whisker, coating the whiskers with shaving cream and helping you achieve the smoothest and most comfortable shave possible.

4. Shave

Shave with or across the grain of your beard, and not against it. Shaving against the grain is the main cause for irritation and razor burn. Rinse the razor regularly and use a good quality Razor and blade, remembering to replace the blade often. A dull blade is also a common cause for razor burn and irritation.

5.Soothe and Moisturise

After shaving, rinse your face with cold water to close the pores of the skin. Pat the skin dry and apply a soothing and moisturizing aftershave balm. Truefitt and Hill Aftershave Balmscontain natural moisturizers such as aloe vera.
