Do you need a pre-shave?
When to apply, when oil helps, when cream helps
1. When to apply
Pre-shave goes on after your face is warm (post-shower or hot towel) but before lathering. Massage in gently, let it settle for 30 seconds, then apply lather on top. Don't rinse off first.
2. Pre-shave oil
Light, absorbs fast, great for daily wet shaving and travel. Adds a slick layer under the lather. Suits normal to slightly oily skin.
3. Pre-shave cream
Richer cushion for very coarse beards and sensitive skin. Adds noticeable protection. Slower to apply but worth it for problem shaves.
