The classic safety razor: Both ecological and gentle on the skin
Safety razor or double-edge razor – if you’re familiar with the world of barbers, you are sure to know what those words mean. A safety razor is reliable, ecological, doesn’t irritate the skin and ensures precise results. Try it yourself and you’ll see that a double-edge safety razor is all you need!
What advantages does a single-blade razor offer?
The safety razor has several advantages over other types of shaving:
- Careful shaving: The steel cover protects the skin and ensures a smooth shave without irritation.
- Durability: The body, made entirely of steel, will serve you faithfully for many years. You simply need to replace the razor blade.
- Ecological choice: No plastic components or needless waste.
- Worth it over the long term: A more economic solution compared to disposable razors.
- Perfect for men’s and women’s shaving: The shaving blade is not designed only for beards. A women’s safety razor takes perfect care of body hair as well.
How to shave properly with a classic safety razor?
Ideally, begin after a warm shower, when your whiskers are soft. Apply a quality shaving foam, cream or soap and let it act for a while to make the beard even softer. Always shave against the growth of the whiskers using short strokes. Hold the shaver lightly, without pressure – the weight of the metal will do all the work. Rinse the head between strokes to get rid of any whiskers.
After shaving, rinse your skin off with warm water, dry it, and apply a soothing aftershave balm.
How often should you replace your razor blades?
That depends on the thickness of your beard and how often you shave. A razor blade usually lasts for 5–7 shaves, but as soon as it starts to pull or irritate the skin, it’s time to replace it.
