Plastic-free Safety Razor
A minimal alternative to disposable razors designed to gently glide over your skin for a close, smooth shave. Inspired by tradition but tailored to modern needs,
How to use:
-Exfoliate in order to smooth the skin by removing dead cells. It will also help raise hairs off of the skin.
-Always shave wet and warm. Wait the end of a hot shower or bath to shave. If possible, chose a moment where you are not in rush. Relax, it’s your me-time.
-Apply a shaving cream, shaving oil or any soap. This will let the blade glide on your skin without obstacle. It’s also the best way to see where you shaved already so you don’t have to go twice.
For shaving a beard, make sure you cover the entire hair down to the skin to soften everything.
-Use a sharp blade. A dull blade can pull your skin or even cause some micro tearing, which will result in razor burns.
-Do not apply pressure. That could cause the blade to remove the top layer of your skin, or to go below your skin level to cut the hair .
-Use a gentle angle (30°) between the blade and the skin for maximum efficiency.
-Do not stretch your skin too much. Only slightly stretch if you need to make your skin flatter on some areas.
-Try to go only one stroke per area. Too many strokes will damage the dermal (the top layer of your skin).
After:
-Pat dry and avoid rubbing. That could create friction and irritation to your skin
-Moisturize with your usual cream.
-Rinse and dry your razor (to make it last a lifetime) and the razor blade (if you plan to reuse it)
