Proraso Professional Old Style Razor (Shavette)

The Professional Proraso Shavette features an ergonomic walnut wooden handle engraved with the Proraso logo and a stainless steel shank and blade holder etched with 'Save The Barber', a homage to the master barbers who collaborated with Proraso on the design of this razor.

It is a cost effective and low maintenance alternative to a traditional straight razor, ideal for those who are just starting out. It holds a single edge blade, or a double edge blade snapped in half. When the disposable blade becomes dull, the comfortable and simple opening system means it is easy to load.

How to insert a blade

With the double edge blade still in its individual wrapping, carefully bend lengthwise until the blade snaps. Open wrapper and place to one side.

Pull back the top hinged cover of the shavette razor until it is fully opened.

Use the indent at the rounded end to split the blade holder so that the shavette razor is now fanned out into three parts.

Carefully take one half of the previously snapped blade and place against the location pins on the razor.

Carefully close the other half of the blade holder over the blade until the pins nestle in the holes. If the blade moves slightly, carefully push the blade back into position. Push the hinged cover back over the blade holder - a small portion of the edge of the blade should now be showing evenly.

The razor is now ready for use.
