Klingen und Rasiermesser

To choose the best razor for your needs, you should consider the characteristics of your beard, the sensitivity of your skin, how often you shave and the finish you want to achieve.

Multi-blade razors allow for a close shave with fewer strokes in certain areas, whilst other designs are intended for trimming the contours of your beard, moustache and sideburns.

There are different types of razors to suit various routines and preferences. In our online pharmacy, you can find options for daily shaving and for regular beard maintenance.

Disposable razors

Disposable razors are designed to be used for a limited number of shaves and then replaced with a new one. They are practical for everyday use and also for taking on trips.

There are models with different numbers of blades, heads and lubricating strips to suit different shaving styles.

Razors with replaceable blades

Razors with replaceable blades have a reusable handle onto which compatible blade heads are fitted. When the blades become less effective, you simply need to replace the head.

This system allows you to keep the handle and have several replacement heads to ensure an effective shave.

Razor blades

Razor blades are the part that comes into direct contact with the hair and skin. Depending on the system, they may incorporate multiple blades, lubricating strips, micro-combs or other features designed to help the razor glide smoothly.

A properly maintained blade ensures a more comfortable shave. When it starts to lose its edge, you may need to make more passes, which increases friction on the skin.

If you frequently experience redness, tightness or irritation after shaving, you might want to opt for razors designed for sensitive skin, which are engineered to glide smoothly and reduce friction.

It is also important to prepare your skin properly, use a suitable shaving gel or foam, and avoid applying excessive pressure with the razor.

The right technique can help ensure a more comfortable shave and reduce any discomfort afterwards. Before you start, cleanse your face and use warm water to prepare your hair and skin.

For a close shave:

• Clean your face beforehand.
• Moisten your beard with warm water.
• Apply shaving gel, cream or foam.
• Leave the product to work for a few moments.
• Glide the razor gently without applying too much pressure.
• Avoid going over the same area too many times.
• Rinse the blades regularly whilst shaving.
• When you’ve finished, rinse your face and apply an aftershave suitable for your skin type.

Shaving in the direction of hair growth usually causes less friction on the skin. Shaving against the grain can provide a closer shave, but it can also increase the risk of irritation or lead to ingrown hairs in some people.

If you have skin that is sensitive to shaving, start by shaving in the direction of hair growth and avoid going over the same area repeatedly.

Irritation after shaving can occur for various reasons, including the use of blunt blades, applying too much pressure, a lack of lubrication or making too many passes over the skin.

To minimise discomfort, use blades in good condition and prepare your face properly before you start. After shaving, apply moisturisers or specific post-shave care products suited to your skin type.

There is no universal frequency for changing razor blades. How long they last depends on the model, how often you use them, the thickness and density of your beard, and how well you look after them after each shave.

If you notice that the razor is tugging at the hair, requires more pressure or more passes to cut properly, causes greater irritation, or the blades show signs of wear and tear, it is advisable to replace the blades.

After use, rinse the head thoroughly to remove any hair and shaving product residue, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Proper cleaning helps to keep the razor blades in good condition.

Avoid tapping the head against hard surfaces to remove hair, as this can damage the blades and other components.

If you prefer to keep a beard, the blades can also be used to define specific areas. A beard trimmer allows you to trim the neck, cheeks, sideburns and other areas where a more defined outline is desired.

To achieve precise lines, use controlled movements and avoid applying too much pressure to the skin.

As well as choosing good razor blades, the products you use as part of your routine affect how comfortable your shave is. You can use the razor in combination with:

• Shaving gels.
• Shaving foams.
• Shaving creams.
• Pre-shave products.
• After-shave balms.
• Post-shave lotions.
• Moisturisers for men.
• Products specifically for sensitive skin.
