The Barbers’ Advice
A high-quality freehand razor requires precise movements and constant care. Only in this way can its sharpness, precision, and beauty be preserved over time.
- Before each shave, prepare the blade edge with a few strokes on a leather strop.
- After applying shaving soap or oil, gently stretch the skin and use the razor at an angle of approximately 30°.
- Begin by following the direction of hair growth and, if necessary, proceed against the grain for a closer shave.
- When finished, rinse the blade with warm water, dry it thoroughly, and store the razor open until completely dry.
- Wait at least 48 hours before the next use to allow the edge to realign naturally.
- In case of prolonged disuse, apply a small amount of acid-free oil to protect the steel.
