Black Lacquered Safety Razor

The Joris Black Lacquered safety razor pairs the elegance of deep black lacquer with the sheen of a mirror-polished finish. Its understated, timeless design reflects Plisson's expertise in the world of high-end traditional shaving.

Its ergonomic handle ensures a natural, perfectly balanced grip for controlled everyday shaving.

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

• Open comb: recommended for experienced users and suited to long, dense or thick beards. It offers more direct contact with the blade and makes it easier to clear lather and hair while shaving.
• Closed comb: ideal for those new to safety razor shaving or for more sensitive skin. It allows more gradual contact with the blade, for a precise and comfortable 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 you care for it. After each use, rinse the razor head thoroughly in lukewarm water to remove any residue of lather, soap or hair. Avoid using 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 specific finish, gently wiping after each use helps preserve their shine over time.
