Use it first to clean the face before you shave, then rinse. Then reapply the soap prior to whipping up lather: First in a circular motion, then against the grain. The soap gets under the hairs, slightly propping them up, giving the blade more surface area to \"bite\" on to. The glycerin acts as a humectant pulling more water into the hair, prepping and softening it, thus making it a bigger target to mow down!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"320\" width=\"419\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"Cube Preshave Soap\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/CUBE_Preshave_Soap_Activated_Charcoal_Phoenix_Shaving_large.jpg?v=1506271554\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUBE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe release of \u003cstrong\u003eCUBE\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a long time coming.
