Use and Tips
- In traditional shaving, preparation is important. The skin and beard should be softened during preparation, and this process should only be done with lather obtained from cream or soap.
- The skin should be softened with the whipped cream-like shaving foam, preferably (ideally) with the help of a shaving brush. Moving the brush with foam on your face for about 1 minute is sufficient to soften and stimulate the beard.
- Open the head of your razor. Hold the blade by its short edge, place it inside the razor, and close it.
- If your razor is a 3-piece, it will open by twisting its head; if it's a 2-piece, it will open by twisting the mechanism on the handle.
- Then start shaving. Closed comb razors only touch the skin at a 30-45 degree angle. They cannot make direct contact with the skin. They shorten the beard by cutting it, which is why you need to shave in passes. It is important to shave according to the direction of beard growth.
- For the first pass, shave in the same direction as your beard grows. This direction may be from top to bottom on the cheek but may vary on the neck. Every man has a different beard growth direction, and this cannot be changed by the cutting direction.
- Do not press. Classic razors shave with their own weight. Gently hold the razor by its handle and do not press it against your skin. Let it glide with the foam and blade. For those new to traditional shaving, our primary goal is a irritation-free shave, not necessarily a clean shave. As you get used to it (approximately 8-10 shaves), clean shaves will come naturally. Do not go over the same spot repeatedly.
- After the first pass, apply foam to your face again with a brush or your hand. For the second pass, shave in the same direction or in a cross-grain direction for a closer shave (e.g., from ear to cheek, or cheek to ear).
- The skin perceives each blade contact as an impact. It is important to soothe this impact after shaving. Aftershave products contain highly soothing ingredients. If you have problems such as dryness, itching, or redness, use a balm. If you do not experience such discomfort, you can use a lotion for a lighter effect. The combined use of both is also common; you can apply lotion first, then balm.
- We recommend not shaving against the grain until you are fully accustomed to the razor. This can cause unwanted situations such as irritation or ingrown hairs.
- Mühle classic razors have chrome-plated heads made of metal. Applying excessive force to metal parts can cause screw deformation, so do not do this. Oiling metal parts a few times a year with metal oil will add value to the life of your razor.
- After shaving, remove the blade from the razor, dry it, and store it in its paper wrapper. Mühle razors are made of stainless zamak alloy. However, we do not recommend prolonged contact of the surface with a rusty blade.
- The average number of uses for razor blades is 4-5, but this is directly related to the razor used, shaving frequency, blade brand, and skin type. Therefore, everyone's number of uses is unique. Change the blade as soon as you feel it pulling instead of cutting your beard. Do not shave with a dull blade, as it will cause irritation.
