Ensure that your beard is adequately wet. Use a facecloth with a generous amount of water and get your face nice and damp. Take your shave stick and rub the soap all over your face like you would a glue stick onto a piece of paper. Once you believe you have enough soap on your face, start building lather. Taking a wet shaving brush, and using circular motions, begin building lather with the soap on your face. Shave. Repeat. After shaving, apply a small amount of D.R. Harris aftershave milk to the face and neck area, massaging in until completely absorbed. Follow with Grown Alchemist hydra-repair day cream if desired.
Alternatively, you can apply the stick directly on the skin and form up directly in your face. The face in any of the two methods should be adequately prepared and very wet.
