Right after shaving, wet the stone under the tap. Run it over your neck and wherever you shaved, wait about a minute, then rinse with cold water. Dry the stone and put it back in its case. That is the whole routine.
Yes. The neck is what it is made for. Wet Flint, run it down your neck right after shaving, wait a minute, rinse with cold water.
A little, for about two seconds, and only where the blade pressed too hard. That sting shows you where the razor caught the skin. It is not the all over burn of an alcohol aftershave. Most men stop feeling it after the first week.
It tightens the skin for a moment. That is its job. Rinse it off after a minute and the tight feeling goes. If you use a moisturiser, put it on after, as normal.
No. Use Flint first, rinse, then your balm if you still want it. Most men find they stop needing it.
Yes. Use it after every shave. There is nothing in it that builds up on the skin, and it rinses off.
The top layer rinses off after each use, so it stays clean. Most men still keep their own, the same way you keep your own razor.
Yes, if you shave your neck line or your cheeks. That is where the blade drags most, and where the red dots show up first.
Yes. Use it everywhere you shave: neck, face, chest, armpits and groin. Rinse it after. Keep it away from your eyes and broken skin.
Flint calms the skin in the minute after shaving, when the irritation starts. Bumps and ingrown hairs also depend on how you shave, so read our guide to razor burn on the neck. If bumps are painful, spreading or full of pus, see a doctor.
One natural mineral, cut into a solid stone, in a clear case. No alcohol, no fragrance, nothing added. It is the stone barbers used after every shave for a century.
Because most aftershave is mostly alcohol. On skin you just shaved, it burns, then it dries the skin out, so the next shave tears it again and the red dots come back. It adds perfume to skin you just scraped with a blade. Flint calms the skin and leaves nothing on it.
Yes. The mineral is naturally antibacterial, which is why barbers used it on freshly shaved skin.
Yes, as a natural mineral salt. That is a different thing from the aluminium compound in antiperspirants. It sits on the surface of your skin for about a minute and you rinse it off. The EU's scientific safety committee reviewed aluminium in cosmetics in 2019 and 2022 and found that daily use does not add a meaningful amount to what your body already gets from food.
No. No alcohol or fragrance to mess with your hormones or dry your skin. Nothing is added to the stone.
Up to two years of daily shaves. Only a thin layer comes off each time. Rinse it, let it dry, keep it in the case. Never close the case while it is wet.
It is a stone, so it can crack on a tile floor. Keep it in the case. If it arrives broken, send us a photo and we send you a new one.
