Instructions: There are a few things you need to know about this razor, especially if you are new to a Classic ABS safety razor model.

The dramatically shaped slant cap secures the blade at a precisely calculated cutting angle. This, in conjunction with the Slanted Open Comb, creates a smooth, drawing scythe-like cut. You will find it super efficient and truly pleasant to take down that unruly beard. Be sure to tighten the handle snugly for shaving. For closer shaves you can try loosening the handle by a 1/8 turn to a maximum of 1/4 turn, depending on beard thickness and your own assessment. 

Shave with a vertical downward motion and don’t be surprised if you don’t feel
much of the smooth cutting action. The Slant Cut is an automatic result of this
time tested, classic design. But, you still have to choose the blade that works for
your own unique face - That’s where the true edge is.  As important as the features
on this razor may be, the beard is still being cut by the strength and quality of the blade.

It is recommended you experiment with different brands of blade till you find the
optimal blade for you. Some favorites: Feathers, Titans (dorco), Bolzano, Astra and Voskhod.
