Aftershave Ritual for Beginners: What to Do & When

A great shave doesn’t end with the razor. The aftershave ritual is key to soothing skin and preventing irritation.

Step one is to rinse with cool water. This closes pores and removes leftover lather. Next, pat your face dry — never rub, as this can cause redness.

Apply an aftershave splash for an invigorating finish. Our Artisan Aftershave Splash tightens skin and delivers bold scent.

If you have sensitive or dry skin, follow with an aftershave balm. Our Aftershave Balms are alcohol-free and packed with hydrating ingredients to keep skin comfortable all day.

Many wet shavers use both: splash in the morning for a refreshing start, balm at night for deeper nourishment.

By making aftershave part of your routine, you’ll reduce razor burn, prevent dryness, and elevate your grooming to the next level. Explore our full aftershave collection to build your perfect post-shave ritual.
