Post-shave
So you’ve followed the Pall Mall Barbers procedures and given yourself a fantastic shave, but next
comes the part that 65% of men skip out altogether: the post-shave.
After your face has been shaved it needs moisture putting back into it quickly, as well as
protection from the elements. Use a post-shave lotion to rehydrate your skin, then place a cold
towel over the face to close up your pores and lock in the moisture. Try putting a wringed-out cold
flannel in a sandwich bag overnight in the fridge. That’ll wake you up in the mornings!
Finally, finish with a moisturiser to soften the face. This will also serve as a barrier from daily dirt
and impurities. Once you’ve closed up the pores and moisturised, splash a bit of your favourite
aftershave on. We guarantee that if you follow the steps above before applying, it won’t sting!
