Wet your shaving brush thoroughly with warm water. Hold the bristles under running water and gently swirl them to distribute the water evenly. Aim for a good soaking, not dripping.

Load the brush. There are two methods:

Bowl Lathering: Squeeze some shaving soap onto the bottom of your shaving bowl or mug. With the wet brush, swirl it on the soap puck in a circular motion for 30-60 seconds. You'll see the lather begin to build. Add a few drops of water periodically to maintain a creamy consistency.

Face Lathering: Apply a thin layer of shaving soap directly to your shaving area using the wet brush. With the brush, gently swirl the soap on your face in a circular motion, creating a lather. This method may require more practice to achieve a good lather.

Build the lather. Continue swirling the brush in your bowl or on your face until you achieve a thick, creamy lather. It should have a consistency similar to whipped cream.

Apply the lather to your shaving area. Use a brush to spread the lather evenly over your shaving area in a circular motion. Aim for a light, opaque layer.

Shave. Using a sharp razor, shave with the grain (the direction your beard hair grows). Rinse the razor frequently to remove any shaving cream buildup. You may consider a second pass against the grain for a closer shave, but be cautious to avoid irritation.

Rinse and pat dry. Rinse your face with cool water to remove the shaving cream. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
