Safety Razor : Matte Black

Before modern razors, this is how they did it! Using a safety razor ends up being cheaper (replacement blades are a steal) and so much better for the environment.

Don't be overwhelmed - it doesn't take long to get used to, and fitting and replacing a blade is easy.

Safety razors are a great way to reduce your plastic waste whilst saving money on replacement blades or disposable razors. Enjoy a close, gentle shave without contributing to the landfill! Made from brass and zinc alloy, the double edge safety razor is super easy to use.

Three Piece System: twist the head off the handle, carefully remove the blunt blade, place the blade between the two holders

How to use:

• Shave in short, gentle strokes without applying pressure (the weight of the razor head provides perfect pressure).
• Use with your preferred shaving soap or cream
• The blade is double-sided and you can expect to get about 6-7 shaves per side.
• Store the razor outside of the shower in a dry place (to avoid rust)
• Store used blades in a jar or tin (awaiting further information regarding recycling them as scrap metal from Council!)

Info:
Fitting a Blade 

• Twist the razor head anti-clockwise until it comes off
• Unwrap a razor blade
• Handle the blade by the two short sides (they are not sharp), place it on the holder
• Put the razor head back in place and twist it clockwise to tighten.

 Replacing a Blade

• Placing your fingers on the short sides of the razor head (not the long sides which are sharp), twist the head anti-clockwise and take it off
• Remove the old blade (handle it from the two short sides - they are not sharp)
• Unwrap a new blade and place it on the holder and replace the head.
