Product information
Robust classic safety razor with open comb for double edge razor blades. The open comb is useful for shaving coarse heavy beard growth or when the beard hairs have reached a considerable length after a few weeks.
Open comb razors shave somewhat 'more aggressively' compared to the closed comb. Because the teeth of this razor are wide, it provides an even pressure distribution on the skin. This results in an efficient smooth shave but is not too aggressive.
What should you pay attention to when purchasing a safety razor?
Safety razors with a closed comb are the most common razors. Suitable for the beginner shaver and for shaving light to normal beard growth. Also suitable for sensitive skin. Razors with an open comb shave somewhat more directly or 'aggressively'. These are suitable for the experienced shaver and for shaving normal to heavy (coarse beard hairs) beard growth. The razor with a butterfly closure has a light shaving head and is suitable for light beard growth. With the safety razor with an adjustable shaving head, the cutting angle of the double edge razor blade and the 'gap' (= opening of the shaving head) can be adjusted. This allows you to tailor the degree of 'aggressiveness' during shaving to your personal shaving technique. This type of razor is suitable for every type of beard growth or skin. Additionally, the weight of the razor also matters: a light razor for light beard growth; a heavy razor for normal to heavy beard growth.
Usage
First, lather the beard hairs well, hold the razor at an angle of about 30 degrees relative to the skin, press the blade lightly on the skin, and shave with the grain. For the neck area, pull the skin taut with the other hand.
