Razors

For a quality shave you need a quality razor.

You can tell a lot about a man from the type of razor he owns. And given that a razor is probably the most important piece of grooming kit you’re likely to own it pays to invest in the finest quality one you can afford (remember too that it’ll probably be sitting on your bathroom shelf for all to see).

The key to a great shave is a perfectly balanced razor with a good weight because, as with cars, good handling is the key to proper control. Chances are, if it feels good in the hand it’ll deliver a great shave.

N&J Knowledge: Always rinse your razor thoroughly with warm water after shaving as blades often appear blunt because of a build up of grease, stubble and shaving cream. Never wipe them with a towel or attempt to clean with a toothbrush or you’ll damage the delicate shaving edge.
