Wilkinson Sword Extra Essential 2 Sensitive Disposable Razors 5s

While marketed towards women and sensitive skin, the Wilkinson Sword Extra Essential 2 Sensitive Disposable Razors can be used by anyone seeking a gentle shave, including men for facial stubble or body grooming where sensitivity is a concern.

It's recommended to replace disposable razors when the blades become dull or the lubricating strip wears down, typically after 5-10 uses, depending on hair coarseness and frequency of shaving. Using a dull blade can cause irritation.

These razors are designed for sensitive skin and can be used on the face, but caution is advised. Always shave with the direction of hair growth and rinse thoroughly. For heavy beards, a dedicated men's razor might be more effective.

The aloe vera in the lubricating strip helps to moisturize the skin as you shave, reducing friction and creating a smoother glide. This can help prevent dryness, irritation, and redness, especially for sensitive skin.

The razors incorporate sustainable materials, with blades made from 70% recycled steel, handles from 30% recycled plastic, and packaging from 55% vegetable waste. However, as disposable razors, they do contribute to waste over time.

Store your disposable razors in a dry place, ideally with the blades covered if possible, and away from excessive moisture like a shower caddy. This helps maintain blade sharpness and the integrity of the lubricating strip.

Ensure the blade is sharp. Rinse the razor head thoroughly after each stroke. Shave with the grain of your hair growth and consider using a pre-shave oil or more shaving cream.

Shave with shorter, gentler strokes in the direction of hair growth. Ensure the lubricating strip is still active. Rinse your skin with cool water after shaving and apply a soothing aftershave balm. Discontinue use if irritation persists.

Avoid storing the razor in the shower where it's constantly wet. Rinse and store in a dry location. Replace the razor when the strip is visibly diminished or no longer provides a smooth glide.

Rinse the razor head under strong water pressure after every few strokes. Ensure no excess hair or shaving cream is built up between the blades.
