4. Apply to the skin
5. Rinse the brush.

How to Prolonge your Shaving Brush’s life:

• Never use water super hot water (you should be able to appreciate the temperature, if not it means it's too hot for the brush too)
• Do not pull the bristles. When squeezing excess water out, simply squeeze the knot, do not pull the bristles.
• Do not press the brush too hard on either the soap or your skin. The tip of the bristle is enough.
• After use, rinse thoroughly, shake out any excess water, and dry the brush on a clean towel. Do not store away a damp brush.
• Soap and other minerals will eventually build up on your brush. A soak in a 50/50 vinegar/water solution for less than a minute will remove most of these deposits.

Why we went for synthetic fibers:

We were asked so many times if we would offer a shaving brush, so we started looking into it. Bristles can only be of two origins: animal or synthetic. Sadly, no plant-based bristle can create the lather a shaving brush is supposed to create. Bareaya is a company who fights plastic waste. But we are also a company supporting cruelty-free products. We faced the dilemma. And, knowing that a shaving brush is something you can keep and don't need to be replaced regularly, we finally opted for synthetic fibers.
