Shaving

Shaving properly:

• Remove mug from bowl with water and moisten brush
• Swirl the brush on the shaving soap, transfer brush loaded with soap to mug
• Move brush in circular movements within the mug to create a thick lather
• Splash warm water onto your face and rub it in 
• Transfer warm lather onto your face, where there is hair

still shaving properly:

• Now you may take your razor 
• At a 30 degree angle, go with the grain of the hair. NEVER go against it
• Little to no pressure is needed
• Do not rush; the more you rush, it seems more blood appears
• Repeat lathering your face and passing the razor a minimum of 3 times

• Remember that cold towel? well,  Rinse your face with warm water
• Slap that cold towel against your face and press it all over your face
• Remove the cold towel, and apply your aftershave  
• If you have bled, use a styptic pencil to stop the bleeding
