mode Shave Balm

The centrepiece of the mode ritual. Organic soap softens hair while intensely lubricating oils allow the Merkur blade to glide without stripping.

What it does

  • Combines lubricating oils, organic soap and nourishing oils to soften hair, maximise razor glide, cleanse the skin and minimise irritation and dryness.
  • Willow bark, oat silk and blackcurrant seed oils combine to reduce irritation.
  • Creates a cushion to help the Merkur razor glide across the skin.
  • Key ingredients: apricot, sunflower, willow bark extract, oat silk and avocado.

How to use

  1. 1

    Apply mode Shave Balm generously to face and neck directly on top of oiled skin.

  2. 2

    Allow up to 30 seconds for softening and hydration, then shave with short, gentle strokes following the grain of the hair.

  3. 3

    Shave with short strokes. Imagine you are rubbing out the stubble with a very efficient eraser thus very light if any pressure is required and little if any repeat passes.

  4. 4

    Rinse the razor frequently; avoid pressing as the razor weight does the work.

  5. 5

    Rinse off after shaving with warm water.

  6. 6

    Pat dry with a clean, soft towel.
