LOAD YOUR RAZOR:

Your Twig/Thorn Razor does not come with a blade loaded, you will find a 5 pack of single-edge blades tucked next to the razor inside of it’s box.

Open the razor by twisting the bottom part of the razor to the right (the direction you would twist a Chapstick to raise the product). The head will rise up and then start turning to one side, exposing the blade layer.

To “load a blade,” place a blade onto the layer, notching both sides. You may find it useful to hold the blade from one side and notch the opposite side first, then slide the blade into position notching the second side. Watch the videos below for a visual representation of loading.

The Twig Razor is the mild version of our single-edge model, and the Thorn Razor is the medium version. Mild and medium refer to the relative “aggressiveness” of the shave. A razor’s aggressiveness is a measurement of how much skin-contact is allowed against the blade. The more aggressive the razor, the more skin-contact is allowed, which may lead to a more-efficient shave, or a closer-shave per swipe of the razor along your skin.

The Thorn Razor has an extra 0.2mm of “blade gap” and “blade span” when compared to the Twig Razor. This is what makes it a medium-level aggressive razor. Thorn Razor is best suited for people with thicker, coarser hair or people looking for a more aggressive razor.

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.
