Pre-shave
Purpose:
Pre-shave oil softens coarse beard hair so that it is easier to cut. Electric razor pre-shave creates a glide surface for the rotating blades, greatly reducing the likelihood of post-shave irritation.

Selection:
Most pre-shave oils and electric razor pre-shaves are appropriate for all skin types.

Application:
Massage a dime-sized amount into your beard. Wait 30-60 seconds. Shave with your electric razor, or apply shave cream or shave gel directly atop the shave oil and then shave with your safety razor.

Frequency:
Once in the morning.

Order:
After cleansing and before shaving.

Exceptions:
Not required, if you have a light beard or do not experience problems with post-shave irritation.
