LOAD YOUR RAZOR:

Unscrew the head of the razor (the screw will not fall out, it is captive).
Flip the head open, and starting from the lowest position (bottom, middle, top) load a blade.
To “load a blade,” sit it flat on it’s blade level notching both sides. The blades have small half-moon indents on either side, and each blade level has a matching feature. It is very important that the blade is notched on both sides and is seated flat. Watch the videos below for a visual representation of loading.
Once you've loaded the blades you're shaving with, screw the head closed. Finger tighten until it's secure, no need to over-tighten. Do not use your razor without the screw engaged.
You can load one, two or three blades. Each blade position is individually guarded, which means they can each work independently or in conjunction with each other.
The two most commonly used “loading setups” are either a) fully loaded with all three blades, this will give the closest shave; or b) two blades loaded in the middle and top positions leaving the bottom position empty, this is a gentler setup and most commonly used while you’re learning your tool or if you find this setup gives the closeness you desire.

Note: It does not matter which face of the blade is up they work the same either way.


PREPARE:

Thoroughly wash and exfoliate your skin prior to shaving. Soften your hair using warm or hot water, and then apply Shave Oil, or Shave Soap (or a combination of the two) to lay down a protective cushion against your skin.


SHAVE:

Bring the razor to your skin and letting the spring maintain the correct pressure—draw the razor across your skin to shave.

Depending on your skin and hair, and your desired level of closeness, complete one pass with the grain of hair growth, re-apply Shave Soap, and complete a second pass across-the-grain or against-the-grain of hair growth for the closest finish.


AFTER CARE:

After shaving, thoroughly rinse your razor and place it back into it’s Stand, or hang it on the Shower Holder to dry between uses.
