ERBE leather strop made from cowhide

The “Erbe leather strop cowhide”: Find the perfect accessory for you. To extend the life of your blade, you can use a razor blade sharpener, such as the “ERBE Razorking”, after every shave. Up to 150 shaves are possible with one blade. In addition, if the blade is frayed or bent, our experts recommend a strop. This will straighten the blade of the razor again.

Before the shave - Thoroughly cleanse the face and soak the facial hair with warm water (with a compress, on the sink, in the shower or in the bathtub). In preparation for the classic shave, the lower half of the face is lathered with shaving soap or shaving cream. Because here we recommend using the particularly skin-friendly and natural Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving care products in combination with a high-quality ERBE shaving brush. You can find both products in our shop.

shave - In order to achieve the maximum effect, a razor must be as sharp as possible. Please check the blade before each use to prevent injuries when shaving. While shaving, the razor is held at an angle of 30 ° to the skin of the face. To do this, the razor is opened up to a 90 ° angle. The index and middle fingers rest on the tang. One hand holds the razor, the other tightens the skin. Moisten the difficult chin area only thinly with shaving foam so that the very uneven area is clearly visible. Here, slowly guide the razor in small strokes and rather apply it more often. Because here you should consciously pay attention to the blade angle.

After the shave - Remove foam residues and cool the face with a cold compress or cold water. Then apply aftershave or aftershave lotion. Here, too, we recommend London's cult brand of barbers Taylor of Old Bond Street with natural, skin-friendly products.
