How to Use Bevel Pre-Shave Oil and Shave Kit Together for Maximum Comfort

If you have coarse or curly hair, you know that shaving can be a battle against razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation. The Bevel Shave Kit is designed to tackle these challenges, but to truly unlock its potential, you need to pair it with the right prep. That's where Bevel Pre-Shave Oil comes in. Together, they form a complete system that softens hair, lubricates the skin, and protects against friction.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the exact steps to use Bevel Pre-Shave Oil and the Bevel Shave Kit together. Whether you're new to wet shaving or looking to refine your routine, this step-by-step approach will help you achieve the closest, most comfortable shave possible—without the bumps.

Why Use Bevel Pre-Shave Oil with the Bevel Shave Kit?

The Bevel Shave Kit is a complete system that includes a safety razor, brush, shave cream, and aftershave balm. Each component is formulated to work together, but adding a pre-shave oil takes the experience to the next level. Pre-shave oil creates a protective barrier between the blade and your skin, reducing friction and allowing the razor to glide smoothly. This is especially important for men with coarse or curly hair, as the oil helps soften the hair and lift it away from the skin, making it easier to cut.

When you use Bevel Pre-Shave Oil before your shave cream, you're not just adding an extra step—you're enhancing the entire process. The oil conditions the hair and skin, while the shave cream provides a rich lather that further lifts and cushions. The result is a shave that's closer, smoother, and less likely to cause irritation or razor bumps.

• Reduces friction and razor drag
• Softens coarse hair for a closer cut
• Helps prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin and Tools

Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil. Warm water is key—it opens pores and softens the hair. You can do this in the shower or by splashing warm water on your face for a few minutes. While your skin is still damp, make sure your Bevel razor is clean and dry. If you're using the Bevel Shave Kit, you'll have the safety razor, which is perfect for coarse hair because it uses a single, sharp blade that cuts hair at the skin's surface without pulling.

If you're using a Bevel Essential Disposable Razor for travel or convenience, the same prep applies. The key is to ensure your skin is clean and hydrated before applying any product.

• Use warm water to soften hair and open pores
• Ensure your razor is clean and sharp
• Consider using a Bevel Essential Disposable Razor for on-the-go shaves

Step 2: Apply Bevel Pre-Shave Oil

Dispense 3-4 drops of Bevel Pre-Shave Oil into your palm. Rub your hands together and massage the oil onto your beard area in a circular motion. Focus on areas where hair is thickest or where you tend to get irritation, like the neck and jawline. The oil should coat the skin and hair evenly, creating a slick base that will help the razor glide.

Let the oil sit for 30-60 seconds. This gives it time to penetrate the hair follicles and soften the hair. You don't need to rinse it off—the oil works with the shave cream to provide extra lubrication.

• Use 3-4 drops—too much can clog the razor
• Massage in circular motions to lift hair
• Let it sit for a minute for best results

Step 3: Build a Rich Lather with the Shave Cream

Next, use the Bevel shave brush (included in the kit) to whip up a rich lather from the Bevel Shave Cream. The brush helps lift the hair and distribute the cream evenly, ensuring every strand is coated. Work the lather in circular motions, starting from your cheeks and moving down to your neck. The combination of the pre-shave oil and the cream creates a protective cushion that minimizes friction.

If you're using the Bevel Shave Kit, you'll notice the cream is formulated with natural ingredients that moisturize and protect. The lather should be thick and creamy, not too dry or too watery. If it's too dry, add a few drops of water; if it's too watery, add more cream.

• Use a brush to lift hair and create a thick lather
• Work in circular motions for even coverage
• Adjust water and cream ratio for the perfect consistency

Step 4: Shave with Short, Gentle Strokes

With your Bevel safety razor or Bevel Essential Disposable Razor, shave in the direction of hair growth first. Use short, gentle strokes, rinsing the blade after each pass. The combination of pre-shave oil and shave cream means you shouldn't need to press hard—let the razor do the work. For a closer shave, you can go against the grain on a second pass, but only if your skin is comfortable with it.

Remember to rinse your face with warm water between passes to keep the skin clean and the razor clear. Avoid going over the same area repeatedly, as this can cause irritation.

• Shave with the grain first, then against if needed
• Use short strokes and rinse the blade often
• Don't press hard—let the razor glide

Step 5: Rinse and Moisturize

After shaving, rinse your face with cool water to close the pores. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel—don't rub. Then apply the Bevel Aftershave Balm from the kit to soothe and hydrate your skin. The balm helps calm any irritation and replenishes moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.

For an extra layer of hydration, follow up with Bevel Moisturizing Face Gel. This lightweight gel absorbs quickly and provides long-lasting moisture, helping to prevent dryness and flakiness. It's especially beneficial if you have sensitive skin or shave regularly.

• Rinse with cool water to close pores
• Pat dry, don't rub
• Apply aftershave balm and moisturizer for best results

Using Bevel Pre-Shave Oil with the Bevel Shave Kit is a simple yet powerful way to upgrade your shaving routine. The oil prepares your skin and hair, while the kit's razor, cream, and balm work together to give you a close, comfortable shave without the bumps.
