Seven Potions Double Edge Safety Razor

Seven Potions' safety razor has a weighted, balanced handle, so the razor's own weight does the work. It takes standard double edge blades from any maker, which keeps running costs low and plastic out of the bin.

Technical Specifications

• Type: Double edge safety razor

Shaving Character

Seven Potions positions it for those with sensitive skin who want to leave multi-blade cartridges behind. The maker does not publish the blade gap, head type or weight, so we cannot place it on the mild-to-aggressive scale. Pair it with a smooth blade while you learn, and move to a sharper one once your angle is steady.

Use & Care

Seven Potions' method: start with the handle at 90 degrees to your face and tilt it until the blade meets the hair. Shave slowly with the grain, with no pressure, and rinse the blade after every pass. Rinse thoroughly at the end and let it dry. Spent blades are steel only and belong in a blade bank, not the bin.
