So, you just unboxed the Pro, or you’re anxiously anticipating it’s arrival. Whether it’s already in your hands or on it's way, we want to make sure you get the best shave from the very first pass.

Step One: Load a Blade

Your Pro comes with a red, dummy blade to help you correctly load your first blade. Grab the Black Label blade pack that was packed underneath the tray in your razor box.

To load a new blade, insert the key into the slot on the right side of the head of your razor. Pull back on the slide to pick up a blade. Push it forward and ping. A new blade is loaded, and your Pro is ready to go.

Also, your Pro may feel slightly tight when inserting your blade pack for the first time. Like breaking in your favorite leather, it will get much easier each time.

If for some reason you’re unable to even push the blade in, please shoot us an email to [email protected]. We’ll get you taken care of.

Step Two: Prep Your Face

If possible, we recommend shaving after a hot shower. The heat and moisture will help lift the hairs from your face, making it easier for our extra-sharp blade to sweep the hair away as it glides across your skin.

If you don’t have time for a shower, quickly rinse your face with hot water or warm, steamy wash cloth. It will have a similar effect.

Step Three: Lather Up

To get the best results from your Pro, always use a thick cushion of lather to protect your skin. We also recommend using a shave brush to help whip up the lather and prep your beard during the application.

Need a good rec? Try our Ultra Lather Shaving Cream to build a truly epic lather. It acts as a cushion between the blade and your skin. Plus, it also replenishes your skin as you shave with powerful, plant-based ingredients.
