It’s all shiny and brand new when you first receive it, but how do you keep it that way?
Aluminium (the metal that our Cornerstone razor handles are made of) is different to metals such as iron and steel so it doesn’t rust in moist conditions. However the build-up of soap, lime scale and water marks can lead to the razor handle losing its gleam and becoming rather dull.
But panic not, here are two quick and easy tips to look after your razor handle and make sure it’s looking shiny and brand new every time you shave!
1. Clean
Remember those water marks and soap scum we mentioned above? Well the only way to get rid of them is to clean your razor handle properly. The way to do this is to take the razor blades off the handle and clean the two parts separately. You’ll need an old cloth or tooth brush and some liquid dish detergent. Be gentle with the toothbrush or cloth as you’re washing off the soap build-up and water marks- it’s extremely important you don’t scrub vigorously or use an abrasive cloth.
2. Dry
The next thing is to dry your razor handle. It’s really important to make sure you dry it properly every time you finish shaving and after cleaning it.
The big no-no is leaving it in water! Make sure you use a (preferably old) cloth to rub the handle dry.
By drying your handle you’ll so be polishing it- meaning you’ll have a gleaming handle every time you shave! Just remember to detach the blades from the handle and make sure you’re properly drying both parts before re-attaching the blades to the handle and storing it away until your next shave.
That’s it chaps, not a lot to do to make sure you keep your razor handle looking nice and shiny at all times!
