The Azor Razor


We do not like change, whether it be clinging onto our long serving car, way beyond it years or even trying a new shampoo, after using the same brand for years.


When were asked to give up our long serving razors to try the new Azor Razor, we did so but were apprehensive to say the least.


But, I am pleased to report, we are glad we did.


The Azor Razor is quite different from anything else.


It doesn’t move much, doesn’t have a battery and looks really strange, but it works, and works well. It was one of the finest and smoothest cuts we have seen, and you feel a little bit “trendy” as this is something really different.


It also came with a lovely smelling shaving gel as well.


Should you try them? OF COURSE !

Top Azor Tips


Get to know your Azor! The Azor has a flexible hinge – it will flex to around 90 degrees – but due to the design, it isn’t perhaps obvious to all. Try bending the head back to get a feel for just how much movement there is. Don’t be shy – it won’t snap – so add a little pressure if it feels stiff and you will feel the flex increase.


Pressure. The Azor is designed to be light and simple to use (like an IPOD), but this does not mean that you need to use extra pressure when shaving. Simply let the Azor glide across your face – you do only need a minimal amount of pressure.


Under the nose. A tricky area to get the hang of for some people. A little perseverance, a little nose pulling and a shift in grip should help you master it. You might want to move your fingers to the back of the head of the Azor to give a little more control.


Sideburns. Again, place your fingers on the rear of the blade head (on the handily positioned squares) as this will allow you the precision you need to trim your sidies.


The contrast colouring on the handle is the area to hold as this has the grip.


Blade Change. Isn’t as complicated as it looks! Again, use the squares on the rear of the blade head as your guide and line it up over the blade and lightly push on. The lift and pull back. Simple!


Holder. We don’t have a case or a holder (we think it’s a waste of precious resources) – but we recommend that you use the blade cartridge pack as a holder – it looks funky and does the job. And if you are travelling, just click the blade back into the holder and pop the blades and the handle in your wash bag.
