Shaving

The secret to a perfect shave? Good preparation and aftercare! To avoid redness, skin irritation, cuts, and the like, you should definitely plan enough time for your shave and prepare your skin thoroughly.
Every good pre-shave routine includes a thorough facial cleansing with warm water and a mild cleanser – this relaxes your pores and softens and raises facial hair. When choosing a pre-shave, your preferences are endless: whether it's shaving foam, shaving oil, shaving cream, or shaving gel. Shaving oils, for example, have the advantage of a transparent film that allows for a particularly precise shave while maintaining a clear view.

The decision between wet and dry shaving depends on several factors: Very sensitive skin benefits from a dry shave because the beard hairs aren't cut as close to the skin, causing less irritation to the skin's surface. Dry shaving is also somewhat more time-efficient.
When it comes to thoroughness, a wet shave wins. While it takes more time, it delivers a particularly smooth finish. Skin irritation can be easily prevented with the right pre- and aftershave products. Ultimately, it all comes down to your skin type and the effort you want to put into your shave.

With the right aftershave routine, you can optimally support your skin's regeneration and avoid skin irritations. First, remove all residue by thoroughly washing your face, then apply a suitable aftershave product to care for and disinfect the stressed skin after shaving.
If you have sensitive skin or are prone to redness, you can use a nourishing aftershave serum or balm, which will specifically soothe your skin and provide plenty of moisture. An aftershave spray is perfect for larger areas and has a pore-closing and antibacterial effect.

The absolute essentials for a classic shave are warm water, a steady hand, and a sharp blade. To ensure your shave is a complete success, you can help with a few add-ons. Our recommendation: A good pre-shave (shaving soap, shaving oil, shaving cream, or shaving foam), a safety razor or straight razor, and optionally a shaving brush, a shaving bowl, and an aftershave product suitable for your skin type, such as a balm, serum, or alum stone.
