We get it. You need to keep those side burns clean, and the best way to do that is with a single blade. So, whether you have your Single Edge SE or Pro, you’re equipped with the best tool to get those lines clean.
Precision is the key to cleaning up overgrown side burns, and the Single Edge will make it much easier to line up accurately compared to cartridge counterparts. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at this logically.
A multi blade razor is exactly what it sounds like, a razor with two to five blades. Try shaving a straight line with this many blades while your razor is perpendicular, and it get's tricky. During your shave, you don’t know where the multiple blades are shaving, which blades are actively shaving hairs while the others are touching bare skin, or how much of your hair is being removed. And let’s be honest, everyone has run into the issue of skin irritation from cartridge razors.
Instead, the Single Edge is a total game changer. With one blade, you only have to keep track of, line up, and shave with a single blade installed in your razor. This allows you to know exactly what your blade is doing during the shave and in turn, it minimizes the possibility of painful shave mistakes.
Just like you would with any other shave, you want to start with a warm shower or damp towel to soften up the hair around your side burns and open up the pores on your face. This allows your growth to be in prime cutting position and will also minimize the amount of work your razor has to perform.
Then, take your Ultra Lather Shaving Cream (or other quality shave cream) and whip up a nice, thick protective lather. Apply it to the areas you are wanting to trim and line up.
Grab your trusty Single Edge and place the logo on your razor to find the proper angle. Remember, you should NEVER have to use pressure during your shave. It should feel like you are literally sweeping the hairs away with the weight of the razor.
First, shave any facial hair or neck hair you’re wanting to clean up. As you get closer to your side burns, take slower, shorter strokes to create an even line up.
Once everything is lined up and looking clean, rinse your face with cold water to calm your skin. Grab a nice, clean towel and pat your face nice and dry. Add the perfect finish with a post shave product like our Healing Post Shave. Ingredients like aloe and witch hazel will tone and sooth your beard.
Now that you’re trimmed up, time to conquer the day.
