Get the Perfect Shave

Use this 3-step-approach to eliminate irritation and get a flawlessly smooth result, or visit Your Expert Barber or Skin and Clean Shaving Expert.

Prepare

Begin your preparation by cleansing your face with warm water and your facial balancing cleanser. Shave when your beard is the most hydrated, ideally right after or during a hot shower. This is crucial because dirt and oil on the skin could aggravate post-shave irritation. 

Then apply MEN³ Pre-Shave Gel to provide a protective barrier and improve razor glide. Video tutorial (Flemish spoken)

Lather up and shave

Top-notch MEN³ Shaving Cream is glycerin based: glycerin pushes water into the hair, making it swell up and easy to shave.

Use the MEN³ Shaving Brush to generate a rich, warm lather on your face. Start shaving with our safety razor, using gentle pressure. Shave with the grain of your beard; notice that the hair may grow in different directions. For a closer shave re-lather and shave gently against the grain. Video tutorial (Flemish spoken)  

Moisturize

After shaving, rinse with cold water and pat dry. Moisturize with MEN³ After-Shave Balm to nourish, revitalize and soothe the skin. This will close the pores preventing them from filling up with dirt and pollution throughout the day and acts as a protective barrier.

Use MEN³  After-Shave Balm, blended with Shea Butter, Cupressus Sempervirens and Jojoba oil, to revitalize and soothe dry skin after shaving.

Tip: Exfoliate once a week to prevent razor bumps

Exfoliating once or twice a week after shaving can also be helpful. This will effectively remove dead skin cells that block hair follicles and encourage razor bumps to form.
