Amaranth Wood Safety Razor

The Joris Amaranth Wood safety razor combines the natural beauty of a precious wood with the shine of a mirror-polished finish. Prized for its deep hues and singular character, amaranth wood gives each razor a unique look.

Its handle is carefully oiled and varnished to protect the wood from moisture over time while preserving its natural appearance. The chrome-plated brass elements provide sturdiness, corrosion resistance and a lasting shine.

Available with two types of head, this safety razor adapts to the habits and experience of each user:

• Open comb: particularly suited to experienced users and to long, dense or thick beards. Its design allows more direct contact with the blade and makes it easier to clear lather and hair while shaving.
• Closed comb: recommended for those discovering safety razor shaving or for more sensitive skin. It offers more gradual contact with the blade, for a precise and controlled shave.

Compatible with standard double-edge safety razor blades, available on our website.

Made and hand-assembled in the Plisson workshops in France.

The best time to shave is in the morning, just after a shower and before breakfast. At this time of day, the beard hair is softer and easier to cut, while the skin is less sensitive.

Prepare a rich lather using a shaving brush and your favourite Plisson shaving soap or cream. Apply the lather to your damp face using circular motions to lift and soften the beard hair. Shave in the direction of hair growth using light, controlled strokes. For a closer shave, reapply the lather and shave gently against the grain if your skin allows.

Finish by rinsing your face with cool water to refresh the skin, then apply an aftershave balm to soothe and moisturise.

The longevity of your razor depends on how well it is cared for. After each use, rinse the razor head thoroughly in lukewarm water to remove any residue of lather, soap or hair. Avoid water that is too hot, as it could damage certain materials and spoil the finishes.

Dry the head and handle carefully with a soft towel before storing your razor in a dry place.

If your razor has a removable head or a blade-loading mechanism, clean the various parts regularly to prevent residue from building up and to keep it working properly. For models in precious metal or with a special finish, wiping them gently after each use will preserve their shine over time.
