We will discover a full range of products that will help us transform the shaving ritual into a moment of pleasure.
The subjects covered during this course are:

We finish by the shave
Our model comes around 3:00PM. Two methods can be applied
Either we shave your model step by step and you follow our process.
Either you shave your model following our instructions.
Both methods are perfectly valid as some people just like to follow first and apply what they learned later on, but some others prefer to practice very quickly.
The course takes place at the shop in Jodoigne, includes a lunch and a shaving products starting kit.
