FAQs

Do I need a shaving brush to use this cream?

While it is possible to create a lather with your hands, a shaving brush is highly recommended. It allows for the creation of a richer, denser lather that provides superior protection and glide.

How much product should I use?

A small, almond-sized amount is typically sufficient for a full face or head shave when using a brush. Experiment to find the amount that creates your desired lather consistency.

Is the Cedarwood scent overpowering?

The Cedarwood fragrance is designed to be classic and sophisticated, not overpowering. However, individual scent sensitivities vary.

Can this be used for head shaving?

Yes, this shaving cream is suitable for both face and head shaving, providing a smooth and protective lather.

How long does a bowl of this shaving cream typically last?

With daily use and proper care, a 150g bowl can last several months, depending on the amount of product used per shave.

What is the difference between this and a shaving soap?

Shaving creams are generally softer and easier to lather than hard shaving soaps, often requiring less effort to produce a good lather.

Troubleshooting

Lather is too thin or dissipates quickly.

Ensure you are using enough product and that your brush is adequately loaded. Try adding a small amount of warm water to your lather bowl if it seems too dry.

Razor is tugging or not gliding smoothly.

Re-lather your face to ensure adequate coverage and slickness. Your brush may not have been loaded sufficiently, or the lather might be too airy.

Skin feels irritated after shaving.

Rinse your face with cool water. Ensure you are using a sharp blade and applying gentle pressure. Proper lather application is key to preventing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Wet your shaving brush thoroughly with warm water.
  2. Load the damp brush by swirling it onto the surface of the shaving cream in the bowl.
  3. Work the lather in a separate bowl or directly onto your face in a circular motion until a rich, creamy foam is achieved.
  4. Apply the lather evenly to your beard area.

Compatibility:

This shaving cream is compatible with all types of safety razors, straight razors, and cartridge razors. It is designed to work best with traditional shaving brushes (badger, boar, or synthetic).

Care:

  • Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent drying.
  • Clean any excess cream from the rim of the bowl with a damp cloth.
