FAQS
Q – How do I use the safety razors?
A – As far as the shaving aspect goes, don’t overthink it, it’s not much different to a normal razor shave just a slightly closer finish!
But.. Firstly you need to pop the blade in! So unscrew the bottom of the handle and it opens up the top holding plate for the double edged blade to sit! Pop the blade in and screw the bottom back up tight making sure there is no looseness in the blade. They fall in nice and easily as long as the blade isn’t bent out of shape.
Now I won’t tell you how to do the rest of your shaving routine… (Although, washing your face and using a good lubricant does help to avoid the dreaded rash/outbreak afterwards)
The standard angle of a safety razor to the skin is 30-45 degrees and the rest is pretty straight forward (unless its your first shave and you’re 10 years old and you’re home alone looking through dads stuff in the bathroom……… Oh… Ahh, where was I)
Shave with the grain and then against if you want that really extra smooth feel.
A good moisturiser post shave helps to prevent rashes and ensures your skin feels soft and smooth.
Q – How do I take care of my razor so it will last a long time?
A – We recommend rinsing it after each use in clean water and keeping it away from pooling water and ensuring it is kept somewhere that drains well so it can properly dry after each use. We also recommend, taking the lid off and removing the blade and rinsing both every so often to remove any residue. This will ensure your razor lasts and lasts!
Q – How do I dispose of the blades?
A – Ah, yes. Great question! A dull blade which is no longer giving you a close shave is still a very dangerous item.
The best thing for this (in a very SustainaBLAH way) would be to upcycle an old tin or can – turn it into a piggy bank for old blades ideally with a slot in the top – Keep it safe and away from those small vulnerable creatures (much like you would do with a razor) and mark it clearly what the tin is for. Once you are happy with the amount of razors you have collected take it to a scrap metal merchant – They must not be disposed of in general waste or council recycling bins mainly for the sake of the people involved in handling the waste and recycling (aside from the environmental reasons)

Sustainable packaging, lovely design, a really high quality razor. You have to be careful the first few times you use it, but beyond that everything runs smoothly 🙂

Very happy with my razor, tried it for the first time tonight and it was so easy to use and the closest shave I have ever had. Love how easy it is to clean out aswell, no hairs get stuck. I’m never going back to plastic ones. Also brought one for my hubby and he is pretty happy with it too.

Now have his and hers as my gold one had suspicious beard type hairs in it sometimes which were less than discretely cleaned out each time. needless to say both very happy with the product.

I was pretty nervous to start using a safety razor thinking that it would be way more likely to get cuts. This razor is great and is really easy to use once you go slow and carefullt the first few times. I love the rose gold colour as well.

Absolutely love this razor! Took a few times to get used to using it but after used it now for about 6 months now I wouldn’t go back to a disposable one. Replacement blades are so cheap too!

Bought it a few months ago – it takes a bit of getting used to a safety razor instead of a disposable one, but once you do get used to it it’s an absolute dream.
