Directions of Use

Your shave begins with honing the knife on a belt. After generously smearing your face with shaving cream or shaving oil, grip the knife with the open handle pointing away from you. With your free hand, stretch your facial skin to form as straight an area as possible. Position the knife at an angle of about 30° and gently scrape your beard. First with the line, then across and finally against the direction of growth.

Care

Most razors are made from carbon steel. To avoid staining, rinse your knife with warm water after shaving. Then pat it dry with a cloth without touching the cutting edge and store it open in a dry place. There should be at least 48 hours between two applications so that the stressed cutting burr can straighten itself out again. If you don't use your knife for a long time, coat it with an acid-free care oil.
