Will it really prevent razor burn?
Our razor features an ultra-fine guard structure that wraps around the blade, preventing direct, harsh contact with your skin. Because the guards are finely and evenly spaced, they distribute the pressure applied to the skin.
Even if the razor accidentally slips sideways, the blade is designed not to dig in, significantly minimizing the risk of cuts and irritation.
Note: Depending on your skin type, daily condition, and shaving method, you may still experience slight sensitivity. For the most comfortable shave, we highly recommend using a shaving gel or cream and gliding the razor gently without pressing hard against your skin
Are replacement blades available?
Currently, we do not sell replacement blades separately.
How long does one razor last?
While the lifespan varies depending on hair thickness, density, coarseness, and shaving frequency, NIPPON RIKI KOGYO recommends replacing the razor after approximately 15 uses.
However, regardless of the number of uses, if you notice a decrease in sharpness or feel any tugging, pulling, or discomfort while shaving, it is a sign that it is time for a new one.
For a consistently comfortable and skin-friendly shave, we suggest replacing your razor as soon as you feel a change in its performance.
Can I use it on areas other than my face?
Yes, it is suitable for use on your entire body.
In addition to facial hair, it is perfect for body care on your arms, legs, and underarms, as well as for removing fine peach fuzz. The safety-guard design ensures a gentle grooming experience wherever you use it.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Our razor is designed with a fine micro-guard over the blade to minimize direct contact and reduce stress on the skin, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin.
Note: Skin sensitivity can vary day by day. Please use a shaving gel or cream, and shave gently without applying excessive pressure.
Q. What makes the Gentle Razor eco-friendly?
The Gentle Razor is designed with both your skin and the planet in mind.
First, the blade and handle are designed to be easily separated, allowing for the proper disposal of each part. This significantly reduces environmental impact compared to fully integrated, disposable razors.
Furthermore, the handle is made from biodegradable plastic. This material is designed to ultimately break down into water and carbon dioxide through the action of microorganisms in natural environments, such as soil and oceans.
This ensures that even if it were to accidentally end up in the environment, it returns to nature rather than persisting as plastic waste for centuries.
Does the fine micro-guard compromise its sharpness?
Please rest assured that the fine guard does not negatively affect the sharpness.
The Gentle Razor is engineered with a precise balance between the exposed blade edge and the guard. This structural ratio is identical to the trusted razors we have been manufacturing for many years (currently sold by Fine Today, formerly Shiseido).
Therefore, it delivers exceptional sharpness while maximizing safety and gentleness on the skin.
