How to use the old razor?

How to use the old shaver: first, assemble the sharp and rustless blade on the old shaver. This assembly step is very simple, which can be fixed or rotated. Then, wash your face, apply some soap to the skin to be shaved, or use the foam necessary for shaving to ease the resistance.

Wet the surface of the shaver with water to make the razor blade form an arc of 15-45 degrees with the skin, and then start the next shaving action with your accustomed hand. From the bottom of chin, along the direction from mandible to ear, gently start shaving from inside to outside. After shaving, remember to clean the facial skin and razor in time. The shaver should be disassembled and cleaned, dried in time, and not rusted.

There are two kinds of old shavers, one is folded, and the blade is mounted on the tool holder and can be ground. You need to use a glass, put some water in it, tilt the glass slightly, and then press the blade against the inner wall of the glass and grind it back and forth repeatedly. The blade will become faster and sharper.

You can also use a thinner whetstone. When grinding, pay special attention to the uneven or insufficient strength of the grindstone, which will lead to tiny gaps or curling of the blade, which will easily damage the skin. The other is non-abradable, which requires replacing the blade, frequent cleaning, and then spraying cleaning and disinfection lubricant to keep the blade sharp.
