NORSE double edged safety razor, with 5 razor blades

Handmade in the UK in chrome and ivory styles. Ivory style razors have a plastic coating on the handle.

How to use a double edged safety razor:

• Unscrew the head of the razor and insert a blade,
• Warm the blade by rinsing it under hot water,
• Hold the razor to your skin at an angle of between 30 to 45 degrees,
• Allow the weight of the razor to ‘power’ the shaving, using short strokes in the direction of hair growth (do not try to pull the razor),
• When the razor blade becomes blunt it will ‘hang’ on the stubble, rotate the razor or change the blade.

• Shower or bathe before shaving, or warm the face with a hot flannel,
• Use plenty of hot water and shave in a warm environment,
• Use a quality shaving brush with good shaving soap,
• Brush in a circular motion to lift the hair,
• Shave in the direction of the hair, never against,
• Rinse the blade frequently in hot water (in a container).
• Rinse well with cool water and gently pat dry,
• After shaving use a gentle moisturiser,
• Avoid applying alcohol-based products after shaving.
