A well-cared for razor can be used together with shaving brush and shaving soap for a good razor shave.
The shave soap should be of a consistent lather and preferably contains glycerine.
When using a razor for the first time, you should start with the easy and soft parts of the face and should hold the opened razor with thumb and 3 fingers, so that the opened handle shows away from the face, as shown in the sketch. Only the top half of the blade should be used.
The smooth skin which has been prepared with a good shaving soap, has to be stretched, and then you should — with an angle of approx. 30 degrees - first shave down with the razor, and after this shave up. If you hold the razor too flat, it will tear the stubble. If you hold it too steep, it will cut the skin. Always shave in the direction of the cutting edge, never lateral (danger to be hurt). Always shave even and hold the razor more steep when shaving dimples and upper lip. |
Should the razor have been damaged by falling to the ground, or when closing, it should not be used any longer (for danger of cutting yourself), sharpening will do no good in this case, only regrinding by an expert.
