Essential Tips for a Smooth Shave with Your Camelie Razor

Pressure: Let the weight of your razor do the work. Apply minimal pressure and simply glide the razor over your skin for a smooth shave without irritation.

Short Strokes: Instead of dragging the razor in one long motion, use short strokes. This reduces the risk of nicks and ensures you’re able to reach every angle of your body with ease.

Proper Angle: The key to a close, irritation-free shave is the angle. Aim for a 30-35 degree angle to get the best results without compromising your skin.

Assemble Correctly: Before using your razor, ensure it’s properly assembled. The smooth, flat side of the razor head should be facing the handle for optimal performance.

Take Your Time: It takes a little patience to master the technique, especially when you’re first getting used to it. Take it slow, and with practice, you’ll achieve the perfect shave every time!

Assembling Your Camelie Razor the Right Way

The Proper Angle

It’s crucial to hold the razor at a 30-35 degree angle. This is the sweet spot that allows you to remove hair effectively while minimizing the risk of cuts and irritation.

How to Add a Blade to Your Camelie Razor

Hold the Handle: Hold the razor handle with one hand and twist the bottom with your other hand.

Take It Apart: Unscrew the handle and remove the top of the razor.

Add the Blade: Place the blade between the two top pieces. Make sure the smooth side faces the handle.

FAQ

How Long Does the Blade Last?

We suggest replacing the blade after 4 to 10 shaves. This can vary depending on your hair type, the thickness of your hair, and how often you shave. You’ll know it’s time to replace the blade when it starts to feel dull or doesn’t glide as smoothly over your skin. A sharp blade is essential for achieving a close shave without irritation or discomfort.

How to Dispose of Used Blades

Disposing of blades properly is crucial for safety and sustainability. We recommend collecting your used blades in a secure container, such as an old jar or tin. Once the container is full, you have a few options:

  1. Recycling: Check with your local council to find the nearest recycling point that accepts sharps or metal items. Many communities have specific drop-off locations for these items to ensure they are handled safely.
  2. Send Them Back to Us: For a more convenient option, you can send your used blades back to us for proper disposal. Just email us at info@getcamelie.com for instructions, and we’ll take care of it for you
