Derby Premium Single Edge Blades are engineered to deliver a consistent and comfortable shaving experience, particularly when paired with shavettes and single edge razors.
Shaving with Precision: These blades excel in providing a very close shave, ideal for outlining beards, cleaning up necklines, or achieving a smooth, professional finish. The single edge design allows for greater maneuverability and visibility compared to multi-blade cartridges, enabling barbers and home shavers alike to perform intricate work.
Ideal for Different Beard Types: The sharpness and quality of the Swedish steel make these blades effective on various hair types, from fine to coarse. For best results, ensure your skin and hair are properly prepared (e.g., with pre-shave oil or warm lather) to minimize tugging and maximize glide.
Durability: While individual blade longevity varies based on hair type, shaving frequency, and technique, Derby blades are known for maintaining their edge over several shaves. Users often find they can get multiple shaves from a single blade before needing to replace it, contributing to cost-effectiveness.
Setup:
Open Your Razor: Carefully open the mechanism of your shavette or single edge razor. This usually involves separating the two halves of the blade holder.
Insert Blade: Gently take one Derby Premium Single Edge Blade from its wrapper. Holding it by the dull edges, align the blade with the pins or guides in your razor.
Secure Blade: Close your razor's mechanism, ensuring the blade is firmly seated and secure. It should not wiggle or feel loose.
Inspect: Always double-check that the blade is perfectly straight and evenly exposed before shaving.
Compatibility: These blades are specifically designed for:
Shavette razors: Razors that use half of a double-edge blade or purpose-built single-edge blades.
Single Edge razors: Razors designed to accept a single, full-length blade. Please note: These blades are not compatible with traditional double-edge safety razors that require a full double-edge blade.
Care & Maintenance:
Rinse After Use: After each shave, carefully rinse the razor head and blade under running water to remove soap and hair residue.
Dry: Gently pat dry the razor and blade (or allow to air dry) to prevent rust and maintain blade hygiene.
Safe Disposal: Always dispose of used blades safely in a blade bank or a thick, puncture-proof container. Never discard loose blades in regular trash. This is crucial for safety.
