3. Nastavitev in prva uporaba

Before using your new shaving brush for the first time, it is recommended to prepare it to remove any manufacturing residue and to condition the bristles.

1. Začetno izpiranje: Rinse the brush thoroughly under warm (not hot) running water for approximately 30 seconds.
2. Gentle Lather: Create a small lather with a mild soap (such as hand soap or a dedicated brush cleaner) and gently work it into the bristles.
3. Ponovno sperite: Rinse the brush completely until all soap residue is gone and the water runs clear.
4. Suho: Gently shake off excess water and allow the brush to air dry completely, preferably hanging upside down on a stand to protect the knot.

This process helps to soften the badger hair and prepare it for optimal lathering.

4. Operating Instructions (How to Use)

Follow these steps for an effective shaving experience:

1. Soak the Brush: Before each shave, soak the brush bristles in warm water for 1-2 minutes. This softens the bristles and helps them retain heat and water for a richer lather.
2. Odstranite odvečno vodo: Gently shake off excess water from the brush. The bristles should be damp, ne premočen do suha.
3. Load with Soap/Cream:
   • For Shaving Soap: Swirl the damp brush firmly over the surface of your shaving soap in a circular motion for 20-30 seconds until a creamy paste forms on the brush tips.
   • For Shaving Cream: Squeeze a small amount of shaving cream (almond-sized) directly onto the brush bristles or into a lathering bowl.
4. Create Lather: In a shaving bowl or directly on your face, use circular motions to build a rich, thick lather. Add a few drops of water if the lather is too dry or thick.
5. Apply Lather: Apply the lather to your face using gentle, circular motions. This lifts the beard hairs and exfoliates the skin, preparing it for shaving.

5. Vzdrževanje in nega

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Omega 6209 shaving brush.

• Izperite po vsaki uporabi: Immediately after shaving, rinse the brush thoroughly under cool or lukewarm running water until all traces of soap or cream are removed. Ensure no lather remains deep within the knot.
• Odstranite odvečno vodo: Gently squeeze the bristles to remove excess water. Do not twist or pull the bristles, as this can damage the knot. A gentle shake can also help.
• Sušenje na zraku: Hang the brush upside down on a shaving brush stand. This allows water to drain away from the handle and prevents moisture from accumulating at the base of the knot, which can weaken the adhesive over time. If a stand is not available, place it on its side in a well-ventilated area.
• Izogibajte se visoki vročini: Do not expose the brush to excessive heat, such as boiling water or direct sunlight, as this can damage the badger hair and the handle material.
• Globinsko čiščenje (občasno): Every few months, a deeper clean with a specialized brush cleaner or a mild shampoo can help remove mineral deposits and product buildup. Follow the cleaner's instructions, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

6. Odpravljanje težav

Most issues with a shaving brush can be resolved with proper care and technique.

• Prekomerno izpadanje dlake: A new badger hair brush may shed a few hairs during the first few uses. This is normal. If shedding continues excessively after several weeks, ensure you are not using excessively hot water or twisting the bristles too aggressively.
• Lather Not Forming: Ensure the brush is adequately soaked and has enough water. Experiment with the amount of soap/cream and water. Hard water can sometimes inhibit lather; consider using distilled water for lathering if this is a persistent issue.
• Stiff Bristles: Ensure the brush is thoroughly rinsed and dried after each use. Product buildup can cause stiffness. A deep clean may be necessary.
