Blades Sharpness: New vs Old
We surveyed our customers to compare a 3-year-old blade with a new one.
The Difference Was Distinct
“I repeated the same motion to shave my beard with an old blade, but the replacement blade allowed me to clean it with just one stroke. I felt the sharpness and the close shave; it will be less time-consuming.
I doubted whether it was necessary since I couldn't see how dull the blade was, but now I want to use a replacement blade regularly.”
To Keep Your Skin Clear and Beautiful,
A Replacement Blade is a Must-have
Q. Do you clean your electric shaver?
Our survey revealed that more than 70% of the respondents did not maintain the blades of their shavers, or, if they did, only rinsed or brushed them. Using unhygienic or worn-out blades can cause skin problems, such as bacteria getting into your pores. To ensure that the blade you use is skin-friendly, clean the blade every time you use your shaver and use a replacement blade regularly.
More Comfortable Close Shave in Better Condition
Even a high-quality shaver whose blade should be gentle on the skin can be compromised by using an old blade. A nicked blade can even damage your skin because it does not shave your beard smoothly. Use a replacement blade regularly to ensure the desired performance of your shaver.
