Before shaving, soak the brush in warm water for a few minutes. This helps the bristles soften and retain warmth, but avoid very hot water, as excessive heat can damage the hair.
When working with shaving soap, apply lather gently and avoid circular motions on the face. This is a practical way to reduce stress on the hair near the base of the knot during regular use.
After shaving, rinse the knot thoroughly with clean warm water to remove all soap residue. Gently squeeze the base of the knot, stroke the bristles on a soft cloth, and let the brush dry completely on a stand or in a well-ventilated place. Let it dry fully between uses.
