Shaving oil: An all-rounder for beard wearers and direct shavers

Thanks to its clear consistency, it is particularly popular with beard wearers: It enables precise shaving because you can see exactly where you have shaved and where you haven't - ideal for getting the beard into perfect shape. And for those who love the feel of a close shave, shaving oil often replaces traditional products like shaving foam or cream.
Application tips: How to use pre-shave, shaving soap, shaving cream and shaving oil correctly
Are you unsure how to best use these products? Here are a few tips:
Pre-shave:The key to a smooth shave is preparation. A pre-shave product, whether an oil or cream, prepares the skin by softening it and protecting it from irritation. Simply apply before the actual shave.
Shaving soap:Traditional and effective. Add some water and use a shaving brush to create a thick lather. Then apply to the face. The foam softens the beard hair and makes it easier for the blade to glide.
Shaving cream:Fast and practical. The cream can be applied directly to the damp face with your hands or a brush. It provides a smooth base for shaving and allows the blade to glide effortlessly over the skin.
Shaving oil:A multi-talent that is often underestimated. It can be used as a pre-shave to protect the skin or alone to shave directly. Thanks to the clear consistency, you can keep an overview and shave precisely, which makes it particularly interesting for those with beards. Simply apply a few drops to damp skin and start shaving!
The art of a perfect shave is not just a question of the right craftsmanship, but also of the ideal products. Each has its own character, advantages and method of application. It is a journey of discovery that is individual and personal. In the end, it's not just about looking good, but also feeling good.
