Directions 

Step 1: Exfoliate beforehand

• to accomplish the clean smooth shave, smooth the skin by exfoliating the desired area

Step 2: Condition with cream/oil/soap

• apply and lather your skin with your usual shaving gel, cream or soap

Step 3: Shave wet and warm

• for best practices, wait until the end of a hot shower or bath to shave, whenever possible.
• shave in the direction of your hairs (ex. if your hairs are facing down, shave using downward strokes)
• hold the handle at a 30-45 degree angle and gently glide the razor over the desired area, against the direction of the hair growth

Step 4: Clean off & Store

• pat dry and avoid rubbing; this could create friction and irritation to the skin
• rinse and dry your razor and razor blade
• place your razor into the holder to keep it upright, dry, and away from contaminated surfaces
• moisturize the shaved area with your usual cream

*switch a blade every 5-8 uses and store safety razor in holder after every use. life span will vary based on the frequency of use, storage conditions, handling, etc*

Care Tips 

1. clean your razor after every use with warm water then dry it off with a cloth
2. store it in your razor holder to keep away from moisture and contact with other surfaces
3. avoid leaving it in the shower or tub

Disposal 

• once your blade becomes dull, you can recycle them
• pharmacies and local drug stores will often provide sharps containers upon request for the used blades. or you can bring used blades to your local scrap metal recycling for safe disposal

Cautions

• use short strokes when using and do not apply pressure
• if you notice any dragging, it's time to swap out for a fresh new blade

How is it Safe?

1. With a safety razor, the hair is cut once at skin level instead of below skin level like a cartridges blades.
2. The head of the blade is bent so that when the blade is positioned at the right angle, it maximizes the efficiency of the shave and minimizes the number of cuts.
3. Unlike multi-blade razors, safety razors use a single double-edge blade that doesn't tug and pull to create skin irritation.
4. You can unscrew the head and flip the blade to avoid cutting yourself or others.
