I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shaving brand' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'south korea embraces stylish' is the wordplay.
'south korea' becomes 'sk' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'embraces' indicates putting letters inside.
'stylish' becomes 'chic' (similar in meaning).
'sk' going around 'chic' is 'SCHICK'.
