Triumph & Disaster Old Fashioned Shave Cream in a tube delivers a great shave without any of the nasties we now frown upon. Unique aromas of old school medicinal notes, bright, fresh citrus tones and a hint of Turkish barbershop at the back end, evoke a sense of tradition and nostalgia befitting a gentleman’s morning ritual.
Key Ingredients:
- Lanolin is a natural emollient with moisturising and protective qualities. As ancient as man, this all-purpose ingredient is rich in oils and active agents, creating a natural glide on the surface of the skin that produces a crisp, smooth shave with any style of razor.
- The combination of coconut oil extracts, organic compounds and fatty acids act as surfactants, reducing surface tension and allowing the water and oil components of the cream to combine creating a perfect lather. This action works to soften bristles and prepare the hair follicles, allowing the blades to get closer to the skin and create a super smooth result.
How to shave
- Calm the surface of the skin and soften hair follicles by applying warm water or a warm towel to the face.
- Apply a small amount of ‘Old Fashioned Shave Cream’ to either a shave brush or palm of your hand. Do not use too much water as the shave cream is designed to work upon itself, too much water ‘wets out’ the cream.
- Using our Silvertip Synthetic Fibre Shave Brush or your hands, create a bold lather on the area you will shave.
- With a fresh razor, shave clean in long smooth strokes. Be careful to pull with the natural grain of your hair follicles.
- Rinse clean & attack the day.
We do recommend using a shave brush to create the perfect lather and give you the best shave. But it’s not essential. A small dollop onto the palm of your hand can be worked up and applied just the same.
