A Closer Shave

Posted Heather on January 27, 2010

  • menshavingAlways wondered how to get a closer more efficient shave?  Confused by the bombardment of shaving products on the market today?  One of the most important parts of shaving is your product choice.  At Franklyn Men we use and recommend The Art of Shaving.  This product line is infused with therapeutic essential oils, botanical extracts and is specially formulated for a mans needs.  Follow these easy steps below for a close shave.
  1. We recommend shaving after a shower so your pores are exfoliated and open
  2. Make sure your face is clean, free from dirt and oil.  Use a gentle face cleanser, which will sooth the skin , maintain PH and add moisture
  3. Use a pre shave oil, this softens the beard and prepares the skin for a close shave. 
  4. Apply shaving cream with a boar hair brush.  The cream softens and lifts hair while protecting skin from irritation and razor burn
  5. Procede to shave with the grain of the hair using a sharp blade
  6. Follow with an after shave , this is an integral part of shaving that soothes the skin, and refreshes.

The following are products we use and recommend at Franklyn Men

The Art of  Shaving

  • Complete Shaving Kits
  • Moisturizer , and the full skin care line
  • Badger hair brushes
  • Gillette Razors
  • All are available at Franklyn Men

 

Looking for the closest shave schedule a hot lather shave at Franklyn Men.
