• The Art of Stretching:A blade only cuts perfectly on taut skin. Use your free hand to pull the skin in the opposite direction of the stroke. This stands the hair upright, allowing for a "one-pass" smooth finish.
• The 30-Degree Rule:Professionals never "scrape." Maintain a precise 30-degree angle. Anything steeper risks nicking the client; anything flatter will tug the hair instead of cutting it, leading to razor burn.
• Fresh Blade Protocol:Never use the same blade on two different clients, even for minor detailing. Always unwrap a fresh blade in front of the client—this is a key indicator of trust and hygiene standards.
• Zero-Pressure Technique:Do not apply downward pressure. Let the sharpness of the steel and the weight of the razor do the work. If you feel the need to press, the blade is dull—swap it immediately for a fresh one from your Stage Kit.

1. Preparation:If your straight razor (shavette) requires it, snap the blade in half while still in its wrapper, or remove a pre-cut single edge.
2. Installation:Open the razor blade holder and align the blade onto the securing pins. Ensure the edge is perfectly parallel with the holder before locking it back into place.
3. Skin Prep:Always apply shaving foam, gel, or oil (ideally after using an Aroma Towel Steamer hot towel) to ensure the blade glides smoothly over the skin.
4. Shaving Technique:Hold the razor at approximately a 30-degree angle to the skin. Use short, light strokes and never apply heavy pressure to the blade.
5. Disposal:After the service, carefully remove the used blade and place it in a dedicated sharps container. Never throw loose blades directly into the trash!
