COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to Know

It softens the beard hair and prepares the skin before the shaving cream goes on. Beard hair is significantly coarser than head hair and cuts more cleanly when softened. The emollient actives also create a first layer of skin protection before the blade makes contact, reducing the friction that causes razor burn.
If you have ever had razor burn, ingrown hairs or post-shave irritation, the prep step is likely what was missing. Beard hair is among the coarsest hair on the body. Cutting it without softening first means the blade has to work harder, which creates more friction and skin damage. Two to three minutes of prep time changes the shave completely.
Two to three minutes minimum. Apply, leave it to work while you wash your face or finish your shower, then apply the Beard Smooth Shaving Cream on top. The softening happens during the wait — not during the application.
No — apply the Beard Smooth Shaving Cream directly over the Barber Prep Emulsion without rinsing. The two work together — the emulsion softens and the cream lubricates and protects.
Yes — the formula is designed with anti-irritation action for sensitive skin and shaving comfort. It is particularly beneficial for men with reactive skin who get redness or ingrown hairs from shaving.
