USE AND CARE

1. Prep the Brush (optional): If using a brush, soak it in warm water for a few minutes before shaving. This softens the bristles and helps create a better lather.
2. Lather the Soap: There are two ways to do this:
   • With a Brush: Dip the wet brush in the soap and swirl it in a circular motion to pick up product. You can lather directly on your face or in a bowl with a little warm water. Swirl the brush until a thick, creamy lather forms.
   • Without a Brush: Wet your hands and rub them directly on the soap to create a lather. You can also add a few drops of water to the soap to help create a lather.
3. Apply the Lather: Apply the rich lather generously to your shaving area using circular motions. This helps lift the hairs and prepare them for shaving.
4. Shave: Once your face is well-lathered, shave with smooth, gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth. Rinse your razor often to remove hair and maintain a smooth lather.
5. Care: There's no need to rinse your soap off after use, but do allow your brush to air dry between uses. Storing in the open air on a countertop, in a dish, or a draining surface in the shower will help your shave soap dry between uses for a longer-lasting product.
