HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RAZOR

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RAZOR

Overtime, shaving cream residue will build up on your razor. To remove the residue and to make your razor look brand new, we’ve outlined a simple cleaning process. 


What you'll need:

  • your razor
  • Simple Green cleaning solution (or any solution that is NOT designed to remove tarnish or rust, and contains hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and/or phosphoric acid or caustic agents (e.g. sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid))
  • water
  • a shallow dish or container large enough to submerge your razor
  • a toothbrush
  • a microfiber or cotton towel

How to clean your razor:

    MIX

    Simple Green and Water Mixture

    In a shallow container, create a half Simple Green and half water mixture (enough to submerge your razor)

    SOAK

    Submerge your razor in the solution. Let soak overnight.

    Toothbrush Scrub

    In the morning, use a toothbrush to remove the rest of the residue, if any

    RINSE

    Rinse Your Razor

    Rinse your razor in warm water for a minute or more.

    Dry your razor with either a microfiber cloth or cotton towel. Avoid using any paper products (e.g. paper towels, tissues, toilet paper) to dry your razor; it might scratch the surface.

     

    Is the residue on your razor still not budging?

    Try the following:

    • Use filtered or bottled water. The harder your water, the more difficult it will be to clean your razor.
    • Soak the razor for 12 hours. Some soap residues need to soak a little longer than others.
    • Use a firmer bristled toothbrush.
