For many people, shaving is a hassle. A rushed part of the morning. Something to get through.
But it doesn’t have to be.
Shaving can be a ritual. A moment of calm. A daily act of intention that sets the tone for your day. The key is not just how you shave—but with what mindset and what tools.
Start with space. Give yourself at least 5–10 minutes. Not because shaving necessarily takes that long, but because slowing down changes everything. Warm the water. Wet your face. Let the steam soften your skin and open your pores. If possible a warm shower beforehand can really make for a great shave. Then make sure you lubricate your skin well with a nice shaving soap, and reapply as needed to help the blade glide across your skin smoothly.
Use a quality razor. Not plastic. Not disposable. Something with weight and balance. Something with endurance and beauty. Our metal razors demand your attention—and that’s a good thing. They force you to be present. To feel what you’re doing.
Use a good soap or cream. Something natural. Maybe even scented with something grounding.
Then shave slowly. With short strokes. Rinse. Pat dry. Moisturize.
That’s it. That’s the ritual.
When you shave like this, it stops being a task and starts being a kind of meditation. You step away from screens. From stress. You focus on one simple, tactile thing.
And when you’re done, you feel it. Not just the smoothness of your skin, but the clarity of your mind.
We believe that everyday actions shape us. Shaving can either be a mindless blur—or a small daily practice in showing up for yourself.
Choose ritual.
