Wash the skin to be shaved. Work up a light lather with our shave soap by rubbing it with wetted fingers, washcloth, or one of our shaving brushes like a badger bristle silvertip. Run shaving brush under the hottest water available, thoroughly wet and warm the bristles, give it a flick or two of the wrist to shake off excess water, then wisk the bristles across the face of the shave soap for 10-20 seconds to work lather into the bristles. Now, with a sharp razor, draw the blade across the skin.
