CLEAN & DISINFECT RAZORS: SAFETY or DE DOUBLE EDGE HOW TO REMOVE SHAVING SHAVE CREAM RESIDUE

CLICK HERE TO BUY : http://www.shavenation.com to Purchase These and Other Fine Shaving Items.
Safety or DE (Double Edge) Razors tend to accumulate shave cream and shaving soap over time. In this video I will perform an instructional tutorial describing the process of how to clean the razors and remove any residue left behind by extended periods of use. After that, you can disinfect your razors and they will be renewed to their original brilliance and shine.
It is a good practice to perform this cleaning whenever you replace the blade on your razor. In general every 5-6 shaves...
Never store your razors in a medicine cabinet or drawer. Always let them dry in the open air.
For those new to Safety Razor and Straight Razor Wet Shaving, Here is a description of how it's done:

[rvenom800]

how often should this be done?

[geofatboy]

@rvenom800

I disassemble and clean my Safety Razors after a couple of weeks of regular daily use.

If you start to see some shaving cream buildup and hazing.... it's time to restore them to their original brilliance.

nice job

[IAmAlwaysRight11]

@IAmAlwaysRight11 and you can clearly see in geo's video that the 34c is a 2 piece razor. please explain what the joke is, thanx.

[IAmAlwaysRight11]

@hallucinogen74 I don't get it, how is the Merkur 34c a 3 piece razor. i have one and there are only 2 pieces, unless i am missing a piece that i dont know about, lol.

Great video! Thanks for the information on the different razors. I will pass this on to my son. I gave him an old double edge razor that his father had. He was really happy about his first use shaving with a vintage double edge razor rather than the cartridge or electric razor that he never liked. Nice to have a razor that your father and grandfather used. He said it was the best shave he ever had!

[hallucinogen74]

@cgasucks No, and it shouldn't be pulled out every time you clean the razor, but sometimes, if you have many razors and you want ro make a 34/11/37/38/39c etc break, you should clean it thoroughly. YOU CAN pull it out, YOU DON'T have to. But it is still a 3 piece razor! And I have a 34c, an 11c and a 38c, so I know what I'm talking about when I say "It's actually a 3 pc razor" ;)

[cgasucks]

@hallucinogen74 I don't think that was meant to be pulled out..

[hallucinogen74]

@cgasucks If you pull the knob on the end out, you get your 3 pc razor.. ;)

@rvenom800

Excellent advice, man!

Couple of questions:

Can I dip my Parker shavette in the Barbicide glass, say, like leave it overnight?

Won't warp or dull the disposable blade? Thanks.

[cgasucks]

@hallucinogen74 Do you own a 34C?? Well I do and its 2 piece...
