How to use:

How to load a blade in a butterfly style razor: 

1. Twist the bottom of the shaver handle to open the wings of the blade holder.
2. Simply place a blade (be careful - it's sharp!) on the platform and twist the bottom in the opposite direction to tighten the blade holder wings over the blade. 
3. You're ready to shave!

How to shave: 

1. Wet hair with warm water.  
2. Lather shaving cream onto the skin (A brush will help create a better lather and to lift the hair).  
3. Hold the blade at a 30-degree angle and let the weight of the handle do the work.  Do NOT pull the razor across your skin like you would with a plastic disposable razor.  
4. Use short strokes, about 2 inches long, especially when you first switch to using a safety razor.  
5. Finish with aftershave ointment or lotion.

How to take care of your razor: 

1. Rinse all the soap/ hair/ gunk from your razor after each use.
2. Shake your razor to dry it. Using a towel to dry will make your blades duller. 
3. Ensure your razor is stored in a dry spot to increase the life of your blades. 
4. If you notice any corrosion, rub that spot vigorously with a terry cloth towel, or a small piece of emery cloth.
5. Ensure your razor is clean and dry to make it last longer!
