Setup

Proper installation of your Shark Super Chrome blade is crucial for a safe and effective shave. Always handle blades with extreme care.

1. Safely Remove Old Blade: If replacing an old blade, carefully remove it from your razor handle. Dispose of used blades in a dedicated blade bank or a secure container.
2. Unpack New Blade: Gently open the individual packaging of a new Shark Super Chrome blade. Avoid touching the sharp edges directly.
3. Insert Blade: Align the new blade with the posts on your safety razor head. Ensure it sits flat and securely.
4. Assemble Razor: Reassemble your razor according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is firmly clamped in place.

Operating Instructions

For an optimal shaving experience with Shark Super Chrome blades, follow these general guidelines:

• Prepare Your Skin: Always shave after a warm shower or by applying a hot towel to soften your beard. Use a quality shaving cream or soap to create a rich lather.
• Hold Correctly: Hold the safety razor at approximately a 30-degree angle to your skin. This angle allows the blade to glide efficiently without causing irritation.
• Light Pressure: Apply minimal pressure. The weight of the razor should do most of the work. Excessive pressure can lead to nicks and irritation.
• Shave with the Grain: For the first pass, shave in the direction of your hair growth to reduce irritation. Subsequent passes can be across or against the grain, depending on your skin sensitivity and desired closeness.
• Short Strokes: Use short, controlled strokes, rinsing the razor frequently to prevent clogging.
• Rinse and Moisturize: After shaving, rinse your face with cool water to close pores. Apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe and hydrate your skin.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Shark Super Chrome blades and your razor, proper maintenance is essential:

• Rinse After Use: After each shave, rinse the razor thoroughly under running water to remove all lather and hair.
• Shake Dry: Do not wipe the blade dry. Instead, simply shake the razor dry to avoid removing the blade's protective coating, which is crucial for its smoothness and longevity.
• Store Properly: Store your razor in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain blade sharpness.
• Blade Replacement: Replace blades regularly. The frequency depends on your hair type, shaving frequency, and personal preference, but typically after 3-7 shaves.
• Razor Cleaning: Periodically disassemble your razor and clean all parts with a soft brush and mild soap to remove any buildup.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your Shark Super Chrome blades, consider the following:

• Blade Pulling/Tugging: This is a common sign of a dull blade. Replace the blade immediately.
• Nicks or Cuts:
  • Ensure you are using light pressure.
  • Check your shaving angle (aim for 30 degrees).
  • Confirm the blade is securely installed and not misaligned.
  • Consider shaving with the grain for all passes if your skin is very sensitive.
• Skin Irritation/Razor Burn:
  • Ensure your skin is well-prepared (warm water, good lather).
  • Use a fresh, sharp blade.
  • Apply less pressure.
  • Rinse with cool water and apply a soothing aftershave.
• Poor Shave Closeness:
  • Ensure the blade is sharp.
  • Experiment with shaving across or against the grain for subsequent passes, if your skin tolerates it.
  • Check your shaving technique and angle.
