๐ช Safety Razor Usage Tips
- Let the Razor's Weight Do the Work: Do not press the razor hard against the skin.
- Hold the Razor Correctly: If the double-edged safety razor is new, start with the head perpendicular to the skin. Over time, you can angle it down to the ideal 30ยฐ angle.
- Do Not Wipe the Blade Dry: Blades have a protective oil coating. Rinse with water, shake off excess water, and store in a dry place.
- Clean the Razor Regularly: Every few months, disassemble and clean it with dish soap. Use a toothbrush if necessary.
