How do I load the razor?
How do I load the razor?
In the box, next to the razor, you will find a pack of 20 blades.
Press the rectangular tab in the centre of the back of the head (just behind the "skinfleek" logo).
To load a blade, lay it flat in its level and line up the notches on both sides. The blades have small half-round notches on both sides, and each blade level has two small matching markers that show where the blade should sit.
It is very important that the blade is held in place on both sides and lies completely flat. Watch the video above to see how to load it.
The sharp edge of the blade must point inwards.
Once you have loaded the blades you want to shave with, close the head by pressing all three levels back together.
You can load one or two blades. Each blade position has its own guard, so the blades can work on their own or together.
The two most common ways to load it are:
a) fully loaded with 2 blades: this gives you the closest shave;
b) 1 blade in the top position, with the bottom one left empty. This is the gentler option. Most people use it while they get used to the razor, or if this setting already gives them the smoothness they want.
How do I use it?
How do I use it?
You use it just like any regular razor.
The new model is designed to feel natural to use. If you can use a regular razor, you can use this one.
The only difference is that you do NOT press down as you shave. The razor's weight does all the work for you!
For anyone who has been scared of classic metal razors so far. And for everyone looking for a safer way to switch to a metal razor without giving up comfort.
The razor has a pivoting head, so it bends and follows every curve of your body.
After shaving, rinse the razor well and dry it properly!
Can I use the razor everywhere?
Can I use the razor everywhere?
Of course. Our Contour razor is made above all for hair on sensitive areas of the body, like the intimate area, but not only:
✔️ legs
✔️ arms
✔️ any other hard-to-reach sensitive area

Our product is safe and much gentler on your skin than plastic razors with lots of blades.
With the right shaving technique, the razor does not cause cuts, so you get smooth, soft skin with no compromise.

We recommend changing the blade after 6 to 10 shaves.
Does it make hair thicker and darker?
Does it make hair thicker and darker?
As early as 1928, a clinical study showed that shaving does not affect hair growth. Newer studies confirm that it does not change the thickness or the growth speed of new hair. Also, shaving only removes the dead part of the hair, so it is very unlikely to have any effect at all.
Why is the Skinfleek razor better than plastic ones?
Why is the Skinfleek razor better than plastic ones?
Shaving with Skinfleek helps reduce skin irritation, razor burn and ingrown hairs: common problems with cheap disposable plastic razors.
Most plastic razors lift the hair and cut it below the skin, which often leads to irritation, redness and ingrown hairs.
Skinfleek Contour has more precisely placed, guarded blades that reduce this "lift-and-cut" action, so it causes irritation and ingrown hairs less often, especially on sensitive skin.
Skinfleek has a pivoting head that follows the curves of your body (for example around the knees, underarms or bikini line).
The handle is heavier and more stable, which gives you better control. This makes shaving easier, more precise and with less risk of cuts compared to cheap plastic razors.
Skinfleek is all metal, with no plastic cartridges, and the blades can be recycled as steel. This is better for the environment than the tonnes of plastic from disposable and cartridge razors.
Can the razor rust?
Can the razor rust?
Our razor is made of high-quality, rust-resistant metal. Still, like any metal, it can corrode if it is not looked after properly.
To make your razor last a long time, keep it clean and dry and store it in a cool, dry place.

How do I clean the razor after use?
How do I clean the razor after use?
Rinse your razor after every use.
Rinse the back of the razor head with water to remove any hairs that may be stuck there.
It is best to open the head so you can rinse it well.
Then dry it and store it in a cool, dry place (it is very important that the razor and the blades are dry after use).
How long until the hair grows back?
How long until the hair grows back?
Hair growth is different for everyone. It usually takes 3 to 5 days after shaving.
Can I use other blades with your razor?
Can I use other blades with your razor?
Yes, you can use other blades with our razor, because they are a standard size.
We do recommend high-quality blades, though, because blade quality directly affects your shave. For the best results, we recommend Skinfleek blades, which are designed for the best performance and comfort.
1. Wet your skin well with warm water and exfoliate with our strawberry body scrub. Rub it in and massage for a few minutes, then rinse. This step smooths your skin and helps reduce ingrown hairs.
⎼
2. Apply vanilla shaving butter to your skin (you can also use regular shaving foam or any other product you are used to).
⎼
3. Shave with short strokes. This makes it easier to keep the right angle and control your razor.
⎼
4. Use little or no pressure. The weight of the razor is enough.
⎼
5. When you shave your legs, take extra care around the knees, the ankles and the back of the ankles.
⎼
6. Finish with our hydrating after-shave cream to lock in the smooth result and avoid dryness and irritation.
Remember to change the blade at least every 5 shaves.
