Safe handling
The most important thing first
Most importantly, we all know that Blades are razor-sharp.
So please be careful as usual and make sure the Razor and old and new blades do NOT get into children’s hands. Animals can also injure themselves on razors and blades.
Take your time when changing blades and always hold the Half blades by the blunt edge.
So you can safely store your used blades until recycling, we have a blade collection tin for you in the Shop. The blades are safe in the bathroom in it, too - and the tin even arrives filled with a sweet surprise.
LACK OF CARE WHEN HANDLING RAZOR BLADES CAN RESULT IN SEVERE CUTS!
The gentlest way to use it
Tips and tricks for preventing razor burn
Razor burn and other forms of skin irritation are common (and this applies to all Razors, not just SHAVENT) and are usually caused by too little “lubricant” or blades that are too dull.
We recommend using shaving foam, though we personally also like using regular shower gel and have had great results with shaving with oil too.
A soothing aftershave balm also helps calm and care for your skin after shaving. You can also find these skincare products as body-shaving balms in many drugstores.
Be sure to avoid shaving areas of skin that are very spotty, inflamed, or injured until they’re healthy and smooth again.
Please make sure that only the area you’re shaving is covered with lubricant, while your hands stay grease-free and clean so you can keep a secure grip on the Razor.
Your skin responds best to shaving when you always use sharp blades. Whereas before you may have shaved too long with the same blades because of the Blade Cartridges, now you can treat yourself to new blades more often.
How long blades last depends on how often you use them, the thickness of your hair, and the size of the area you shave. Find your own comfort point by paying attention to whether the blades glide smoothly or have started tugging at individual hairs or even getting caught. When that happens, you should change the blades.
As with all products you use on your skin, if you experience any irritation despite following all the advice above, stop using it and consult a dermatologist.
Assembly, care & transport
Your SHAVENT will be by your side for a long time
Always make sure your hands are dry and free of grease when changing the blades. Take your time the first time, and you’ll soon get the hang of it. To change the blades, simply follow the pictures on the leaflet in the package, or the ones shown below:
Please make sure to tighten the knurled nuts securely, but without using too much force. Always use blades that were hygienically sealed in their original packaging.
Rinse your SHAVENT thoroughly under running water after every use and let it dry. You can place it on the stand included with all Sets.
CAUTION: concentrated acids can corrode metal! So don’t expose metal razors to undiluted acids, such as those found in coffee machine descalers or concentrated vinegar. If you want to use descaler, vinegar, or similar for a deep clean, be sure to follow the correct water dilution ratio indicated on the descaler packaging, leave the SHAVENT in the descaling solution for no more than an hour, then rinse it thoroughly with water.
Whenever you transport your SHAVENT, always put it in a separate bag, case, or similar, and NEVER leave it unprotected in the same compartment as other items in your wash bag. Jostling during your trip could loosen the screws and cause the blades to fall out, which could lead to injury!
Better safe, than sorry
You probably already know all of the above. But a little reminder is always helpful. We hope you enjoy lots of great, safe shaves with your SHAVENT Razor.
