Joris Estérel Blue Safety Razor

The Joris Estérel Chrome-Finish safety razor combines the elegance of blue lacquer with the brilliance of a polished chrome finish. Its understated, timeless design reflects Plisson's expertise in high-end traditional shaving.

Its ergonomic handle provides a natural, perfectly balanced grip for a controlled shave every day.

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

• 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 discovering safety-razor shaving or for more sensitive skin. It provides more gradual contact with the blade, for a precise and comfortable shave.

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

Handcrafted and 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 it is cared for. After each use, rinse the razor head thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any lather, soap or hair. Avoid very hot water, which could damage certain materials and alter 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-fitting mechanism, clean the different parts regularly to prevent residue from building up and keep it working properly. For models in precious metal or with a special finish, wiping them gently after each use helps preserve their shine over time.
