Use the brush with a back and forth motion on the soap and work into a thick lather on the beard. The action of the brush on the beard lifts the hair allowing the razor to give the closest shave possible. To complement our es we have a selection of wooden bowls and porcelain shaving mugs, soaps, and distinctive razors and travel sets. Why use a to lather when fingers and shaving foam would do? By lathering with a brush rather than fingers benefits the shave experience in several ways, the lather lubricates and protects the skin and acts as a buffer between the blade and the skin. Brushing gently exfoliates the skin, opens pores and softens the beard, providing a gentle, smooth and long lasting close shave. To obtain the richest lather hold the brush under a hot running tap and keep as much water on the brush as possible, which ensures the face, stays hydrated and protected. Apply a pea size amount of Kent shaving cream to the tips of the filaments and begin lathering your face using the correct amount of pressure, too much causes the filaments to flatten and too little wont provide enough friction to create a good lather. If you feel you need more water during the course of shaving, dip the tip of the brush in water and flick gently to remove excess. Lather from the neck upwards turning the head simultaneously to create a full lather. When complete, clean the brush head under running water until soap free. Shake vigorously to remove all water and then your brush is ready for the next smooth shave. Taken good care of, Kent brushes are known to serve you well and stay with you for ages.
