Whether you shave with cheap disposables, modern multi-blades or traditional safety razors, the Single Edge is a serious upgrade to your morning shave and can help reduce irritation. Here's why: It shaves at the surface of your skin.  Multi-blade razors are designed to shave below the surface of your skin, pulling hairs up and cutting them too close. This causes irritation and ingrown hairs. The Single Edge is designed to shave at the surface of your skin, providing a close, comfortable, and irritation-free shave. It requires no pressure when shaving.  With multi-blade razors, you've probably found that you have to press the razor against your face while you shave. Here's the deal: you’re doing too much. You might think you’re achieving a closer shave, but in reality, you’re only creating an uneven surface to shave on, which won’t properly cut the hairs. But with the Single Edge, you want to think of it like you're sweeping the hair off your face - not scraping it off. The Single Edge perfects this and literally wipes the hair away. Your job is to simply guide the razor and it will do the rest. Easy to clean in between passes.  Every time you take a stroke while shaving, your blade accumulates shaving soap, hair, and skin. This build-up prevents your blade from getting that clean close shave every time and can also cause skin irritation. The Single Edge fixes this by being easy to clean in between shaves and never clogging up like multi-bladed cartridge razors.
