I bought the scraping board of stovepipe cream and scraping oil. How should I use it? Should I use essential oil with scraping board before applying stovepipe cream, or should I apply stovepipe cream first? I think it's best not to use both. I'm shaving, too. You can scrape the essential oil and wrap it in plastic wrap for 20 minutes, or you can directly use stovepipe cream instead of essential oil, massage for five minutes, then scrape it and apply it. This is also a good effect. You should stick to it. If you don't shave for a few days, the effect is not obvious.
