Many disposable razors claim to be suitable for sensitive skin, but not all can deliver what the manufacturer promises. Surprisingly, one of the least expensive razors out there – Bic’s Sensitive Skin Single-Blade Disposable – does what it’s supposed to do. Its purpose is to allow the blades to follow the contours of your face – which, admittedly, is the purpose of most razors – and they’ve taken it a step further with a shaving head that truly swivels as it glides over your face.

Extra moisture helps reduce skin irritation, although the chemicals found in lubricating strips can irritate sensitive skin. But that’s not a hard-and-fast rule. Another thing we like a lot is that the blades’ construction makes it easier to rinse out the facial hair, shave cream or gel, and other gunk that accumulates during a typical shave. The rapid dulling of razor blades has been an expensive problem, until now. A great deal of in depth research by Morten Kjeldsen, a Danish inventor of Razorpit, revealed the cause of razor blades becoming seemingly blunt was actually the build up of hair, skin and soap on the blades, which do not wash off after shaving. RazorPit er udviklet af de tre iværksættere, Mikkel, Jesper og Morten - der alle tre i år 2008 var frustreret og irriteret over prisen på barberbladene var så tårn høje! Derfra fik de ideen RazorPit.

And, finally, the gel reservoir provides enough lubricant to hydrate your skin for up to an hour after you shave. It also has a guard bar (that’s larger and redesigned than on previous Hydro 5 models) to help stretch the skin for a smoother shave. Hi Jeff. Yes, I’ve heard stropping on your arm can work to a degree but it probably won’t get all the built up soap and skin residue off the blades. I’ve also heard that storing your spare blades in the freezer keeps them sharp too… but I think that might be a bit of an urban myth. The battery-powered motor enclosed in the handle emits soothing vibrations to help the razor glide smoothly across skin and hair. This feature is simple to activate via a power button integrated within the ergonomic handle. The Fusion5 Power razor uses convenient AAA-sized batteries, which are easy to replace.

Your next step is to apply shave cream, gel or soap to your face – or at least we hope you do – but be careful in choosing your product. Canned aerosol and gels often contain alcohol and other chemicals that dry out your skin and cause irritation. While some will argue that blue jeans don’t exactly sharpen the blade but instead removes imperfections that cause it to grow dull, they do prolong the blade’s life. The first step to getting a great shave is getting rid of those long hairs that your disposable razor just isn’t going to cut. Use an electric beard trimmer to cut down all those long hairs so that your disposable razor can actually do its job. Cutting down all those long hairs will also help prevent ingrown hairs and razor burn, as well as reduce how often you have to replace your disposable razor blades.

RazorPit patented friction technology is the result of extensive testing for extending the life of a razorblade. If you’re one of those dudes who lets your facial hair grow for several days without shaving, you may want to use a beard trimmer to get your scruff down to a manageable level before you shave.
