How to load a Double Edge Safety razor or change a blade
1. Hold razor head with one hand. Twist handle clockwise to unscrew. Separate head from handle.
2. Take apart the top and bottom plates of the head. Turn the top plate upside down so that the screw peg is facing up. Dorp the new blade onto the plate with the pegs. Place the other plate on top, putting the peg through the middle hole, ensuring that the side wings on this plate are facing down.
3. Hold the top and bottom of the head securely with thumb and index finger. Fit the head onto the handle and twist anti-clockwise to tighten.
How to shave with a Double Edge Safety Razor
1. For best results, apply thanks to nature shaving cream to skin prior to shaving. This will help the razor to glide across the skin and also help to soften hair for a smoother shave, less irritation and redness.
2. Hold the razor at a 30° angle against skin and begin shaving in short, gentle 1-3cm strokes. This will help to prevent cuts, pulling hairs and clogging the razor.
3. Safety razor blades are very sharp. Apply a gentle amount of pressure and allow the razor do most of the work.
4. Shave in the direction of hair growth. This will help to reduce the chance of irritation, whilst providing a close shave.
5. A double-edged safety razor has two sides to the blade so simply rotate the razor for a fresh blade. Rinse the blade regularly during shaving to remove excess hair and shaving cream.
6. Rinse skin and dry. Apply a moisturiser to soothe and nourish skin.
