Mode's Tips for an Outstanding Shave

Small technique changes that make every shave calmer: warm prep, light pressure, short strokes, sharp blades and proper recovery.

What it does

An outstanding shave is mostly consistency and technique. Prepare with warm water, keep the razor sharp, let the Merkur razor do the work, and finish with mode Post-Shave Moisturiser so skin can recover properly.

How to use

  1. 1

    Shave after warming the skin and hair, ideally after a shower or warm rinse.

  2. 2

    Use light pressure. The razor should glide rather than scrape.

  3. 3

    Use short strokes and rinse the razor frequently.

  4. 4

    Shave with the grain first, especially if you are prone to bumps or irritation.

  5. 5

    Replace blades regularly so the edge stays sharp and clean.

  6. 6

    Finish with Post-Shave Moisturiser to lock in hydration.
