Preparation for a Smooth Shave

A smooth, irritation-free shave isn’t just about the razor—it starts with proper preparation and ends with the right post-shave care. By following a few simple steps, you can enhance your shaving experience, reduce irritation, and keep your skin looking its best. Whether you're a daily shaver or an occasional groomer, this guide will help you master the art of shaving while incorporating the soothing benefits of Krypton Stone.

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin

1. Wet your face with hot water or use a warm towel to soften the beard hair and make it more flexible.
2. Apply shaving foam using your hand or, preferably, a badger brush. Let it sit for about a minute to further soften the hair.
3. Ensure your razor blade is warm by soaking it in hot water before starting.

Step 2: Shaving Routine

1. Start with the neck – Shave gently, moving upwards towards the hairline. Rinse the razor after each pass.
2. Move to the cheeks – Begin at the jawline and shave upwards toward the sideburns.
3. Rinse your razor frequently – This prevents hair from clogging the blades and ensures a smoother shave.
4. Shave the mustache area – Be gentle to avoid irritation.
5. Finish with the chin – Since this area is usually the densest, take your time and use short, careful strokes.

Step 3: Post-Shave Care

1. Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water.
2. Wet your Krypton Stone and gently apply it to your face in circular motions. You may feel slight tingling—this helps soothe razor burn and calm the skin.
3. Allow your skin to air-dry. You can rinse your face again and apply a moisturizer or leave it as is.
4. Dry the Krypton Stone with a towel and store it properly in its compartment.

Following these steps will help you achieve a close, comfortable shave while keeping your skin healthy and irritation-free.
