How to Attach Your Razor Blades the Correct Way
The condition of your razor blade makes all the difference to your shaving experience and the smoothness of your skin. That’s why we’ve created an easy step-by-step guide for attaching your blades to your reusable FFS razor:
1. To start attaching your blade, make sure the that the bikini blade is located at the top, then press the handle into the blade clips until you hear a little ‘click’.
2. Pull your handle down to release it from the case, if you cannot pull down easily, this means you have attached the blade the incorrect way
4. That’s it! You’re ready to attach a new blade and continue shaving the sustainable way!
5 Helpful Tips To Look After Your Razor
There are a range of factors that can impact how long your razor blades will last, we have a number of ways that you can extend the longevity of your razor blades!
1. Get Covering – If you’re on-the-go, it’s important to keep your razor blade protected at all costs. This will reduce the amount of moisture that reaches the blade and stop them from rusting, increasing their longevity. At FFS, we combat that issue altogether by using titanium blades with a diamond-coating (it's still worth adding extra protection though!)2. No Tapping – Wanting to remove the hair from the razor by tapping it against a surface such as a sink? Bad idea! This can damage important and delicate razor components (this method won’t be covered by your FFS Lifetime Razor Warranty!)
3. Dry Naturally – We’ve all been there. A common tell-tale is to wipe your blades on a towel to lengthen the blade life. Trust us, it does more damage than good! Allow your blades to air-dry for the most effective shave.
4. Keep It Clean – After every few strokes, we recommend putting the blade under a running tap just to swill any hairs that may be stuck. Simply shake off the water to dry off the blades!
5. Change Regularly – We recommend changing your blade on a weekly basis (or every 5 shaves) to avoid bacteria build up and to stop any unwanted skin irritation that a dull blade can cause.
Don’t Throw Away Blades, Recycle Them Instead!
Ready to change to a new blade? Once you’ve replaced it with a brand new one, stop and think about what you should do with your used blade before heading straight to the bin.
