Pink Rex Sky Blue Metal Safety Razor Double Edge for a Clean Shave When shaving your pits, bits, and walking sticks, a safety razor outperforms and outlasts a cartridge razor every time. It also helps reduce those painful razor bumps and annoying ingrown hairs. Pink Rex safety razors use a single double-edge blade that doesn't tug and pull on your hair. The weight of the safety razor handle allows it to glide smoothly across your skin. Prep Your Skin Before Shaving First, make sure you exfoliate to remove any dead skin cells. Let your skin soak in hot water, it helps open up those pores, making it easier to shave. Apply shaving cream and let it sit a few minutes before shaving allowing the skin to soften. How to Shave Once your skin is prepped and ready to shave, position the razor at a 45-degree angle to your skin and shave using short and gentle strokes. Let the weight of the razor do most of the work, you don’t need to apply the same pressure you would with a cartridge razor. If you notice any irritation whatsoever, consider shaving in the same direction that the hair grows. This will provide a much milder shave and achieve the same level of closeness - it just may take a few extra passes. If any irritation occurs, add some more shaving cream or lather to the skin. With the safety razor, shave just a few inches at a time, and take extra care going around your ankles and behind the knee. Remember to take your time! Make sure to rinse your blade after each stroke to prevent buildup.
