Essential Tips for a Smooth Shave with Your Camelie Razor

Pressure: Let the weight of your razor do the work. Apply minimal pressure and simply glide the razor over your skin for a smooth shave without irritation.

Short Strokes: Instead of dragging the razor in one long motion, use short strokes. This reduces the risk of nicks and ensures youโ€™re able to reach every angle of your body with ease.

Proper Angle: The key to a close, irritation-free shave is the angle. Aim for a 30-35 degree angle to get the best results without compromising your skin.

Assemble Correctly: Before using your razor, ensure itโ€™s properly assembled. The smooth, flat side of the razor head should be facing the handle for optimal performance.

Take Your Time: It takes a little patience to master the technique, especially when youโ€™re first getting used to it. Take it slow, and with practice, youโ€™ll achieve the perfect shave every time!

The Proper Angle

Itโ€™s crucial to hold the razor at a 30-35 degree angle. This is the sweet spot that allows you to remove hair effectively while minimizing the risk of cuts and irritation.

How to Properly Care for Your Razor & Blades

  • Always keep your razor clean and dry.
  • Store it in a cool, dry placeโ€”avoid storing it in the bathroom, as even indirect moisture can damage the razor, especially the blades.
  • Avoid dropping it to prevent damage.
  • Let your razor air dry after each use.
  • If the blade starts to rust, remove it immediately and replace it with a new one.

Taking care of your razor ensures it lasts longer and continues delivering the best results!

Prep Your Skin: Exfoliate and soak in warm water for the best results (optional but highly recommended).

Lather Up: Apply shaving soap, shaving oil, or your usual product to your skin.

Hold the Right Angle: Keep your razor at a 30-35 degree angle for an effective and smooth shave.

Shave in Short Strokes: Use short strokes to easily adjust the angle and stay in control.

Light Pressure Only: Let the razorโ€™s weight do the workโ€”apply little to no pressure.

Be Careful Around Bony Areas: Take your time shaving near your knees, ankle bones, and the back of your ankles.

FAQ

How Long Does the Blade Last?

We suggest replacing the blade after 4 to 10 shaves. This can vary depending on your hair type, the thickness of your hair, and how often you shave. Youโ€™ll know itโ€™s time to replace the blade when it starts to feel dull or doesnโ€™t glide as smoothly over your skin. A sharp blade is essential for achieving a close shave without irritation or discomfort.

How to Dispose of Used Blades

Disposing of blades properly is crucial for safety and sustainability. We recommend collecting your used blades in a secure container, such as an old jar or tin. Once the container is full, you have a few options:

  1. Recycling: Check with your local council to find the nearest recycling point that accepts sharps or metal items. Many communities have specific drop-off locations for these items to ensure they are handled safely.
  2. Send Them Back to Us: For a more convenient option, you can send your used blades back to us for proper disposal. Just email us at info@getcamelie.com for instructions, and weโ€™ll take care of it for you
