YOUR RAZOR
Five simple habits that keep your razor clean, your blade sharp and your skin happier.
A razor touches your face every day, and it lives in one of the dampest rooms in the house. A few small habits keep it clean, help the blade stay sharp and reduce the chance of irritation. None of them takes more than a few seconds.
Five Habits for a Clean Razor
Run warm water through the cartridge until hair and cream have washed away. Residue left in the head can clog it and make the next shave tug.
Action: Rinse from the back, if you can, as well as the front.Give the razor a gentle shake. Don’t wipe the blades with a towel or your fingers, which can damage the edge and cut you.
Action: Never wipe across the blades.Leave the razor somewhere with airflow so it dries fully between shaves. A permanently damp blade wears faster.
Action: Stand it up, head upwards, to drain.Leaving a razor wet in the shower can shorten blade life. A dry shelf or cabinet is better. See how to make your blades last longer.
Action: Keep it out of the shower tray.Cleaning helps, but it can’t make a worn blade sharp again. Change your cartridge about once a week for regular shaving. See how often to change your blade.
Action: Set a weekly reminder.A Quick Wash of the Handle
Once in a while, wash the handle with warm water and a little mild soap, rinse it off and dry it. This removes shaving product buildup and keeps the grip comfortable.
Razor Hygiene Mistakes vs the Better Way
✗ The Common Mistakes
- Leaving the razor wet in the shower
- Wiping the blades with a towel
- Sharing a razor with someone else
- Using the same cartridge for weeks
- Skipping the rinse when you’re in a hurry
✓ The Better Way
- Storing it somewhere dry
- Shaking off water and letting it air dry
- Keeping your razor to yourself
- A fresh cartridge about once a week
- A proper rinse every time
A razor can carry skin cells and, if you cut yourself, traces of blood. Sharing one isn’t worth the risk. If you get repeated bumps or sore spots that don’t settle, speak to a pharmacist or your GP.
