How to Use D.R. Harris Lavender Shaving Cream

Quick answer

Use a pea-sized amount of D.R. Harris Lavender Luxury Lather Shaving Cream from the tube, lather with a damp brush, and shave in the direction of hair growth for a smooth, moisturizing result.

Step-by-step guide

1. Prepare your brush and face: Soak your shaving brush in warm water for a few minutes. Splash your face with warm water to soften the beard. A common mistake is using a dry brush, which won't create enough lather.
2. Apply the cream: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of the Lavender Luxury Lather Shaving Cream onto the bristles of your damp brush. Do not apply directly to your face. Using too much cream creates wasteful excess lather; a pea-sized amount is sufficient.
3. Build the lather: Work the brush in a circular motion on your face or in a shaving bowl to build a rich, creamy lather. Add a few drops of water if needed. If the lather is too dry, add water gradually; if too runny, use less water next time.
4. Shave with the grain: Using a sharp razor, shave in the direction of hair growth. Rinse the razor frequently. Shaving against the grain can cause razor burn; stick with the grain for a comfortable shave.
5. Rinse and moisturize: Rinse your face with cool water to close pores. Pat dry and apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer. Skipping moisturizer can leave skin feeling tight; follow up to lock in hydration.
