Every new day is an opportunity to start fresh and in style – and the right shave is a key part of your morning routine. With our tips, you’ll learn how to achieve a perfectly smooth shave that’s gentle on your skin.

Whether you’re shaving for the first time or you're a seasoned pro, our simple eight-step guide will help you master your shaving routine. With the Schieller Excel 5 razor, which combines innovative design and cutting-edge technology, every shave will be a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

STEP 1: Hydration is Key

Before you start, hydrate your skin. Moisturizing softens beard hair and reduces the risk of irritation. The best time to shave is after a shower when your hair is at its softest. Use a facial scrub or cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells, ensuring a smoother glide for your razor.

STEP 2: Apply a Quality Shaving Product

Use shaving gel or foam and apply it evenly to all areas you plan to shave. This enhances the glide of the Schieller Excel 5 razor, hydrates the hairs, and protects your skin from irritation.

STEP 3: Make Sure Your Blades Are Sharp

Check the lubricating strips on your razor head. If they look faded or if your shave feels less effective, replace the cartridge. Sharp blades are essential for a smooth and comfortable shave.

STEP 4: Shave Gently and Lightly

Let the Schieller Excel 5 razor do the work for you. Use light, smooth strokes without applying excessive pressure. Thanks to its ergonomic handle and precision blades, shaving becomes effortless and comfortable.

STEP 5: Rinse the Blades Regularly

Rinse your blades under warm water frequently during your shave to keep them clean and effective. Avoid tapping the razor against the sink, as this could damage its precision design.

STEP 6: Shave Both With and Against the Grain

Hair grows in different directions, so shaving both with and against the grain is perfectly normal. Go with whatever direction feels most comfortable – with the Schieller Excel 5, you’ll achieve a close shave even against the grain.

STEP 7: Precision Styling

The Schieller Excel 5 features a precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge, perfect for shaping sideburns, shaving under the nose, and reaching other tricky areas.

STEP 8: Hydrate After Shaving

After shaving, rinse your face with cold water and gently pat it dry. Apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe your skin and restore hydration.

With these eight simple steps and the Schieller Excel 5 razor, shaving will become a refreshing and enjoyable part of your day. Smooth skin and a flawless look are now within reach!
