It is advisable to shave your beard always after a shower, as warm water softens the beard hair and skin, making shaving easier and more pleasant. Use good shaving soap or cream to make the shave better for your skin. 

Tips for using a knife: It is recommended to hold the razor at a 30-degree angle. Start with short and smooth strokes in the direction of hair growth, avoiding lateral movements. Too much pressure causes cuts. The handle points away from the shaving direction. A good and effective method is to stretch the skin tight with the other hand.

After shaving, apply aftershave to your face to care for the skin and reduce irritation. After use, rinse the blade and wipe it with a cloth. Protect the razor from moisture. With proper care, the razor will last for years. It is good to sharpen the razor after each use by stropping, which keeps the blade in better condition for longer.
