How can I make my blades last as long as possible?
To make your Schieller blades last as long as possible, rinse them thoroughly under running water after each use to remove any hair and shaving gel residue. Then, let them air dry and avoid tapping the razor against the sink, as this could damage the blades. We also recommend using a high-quality shaving gel or foam, allowing it to sit for 1-2 minutes before shaving to soften the hair. This minimizes friction and extends the lifespan of the blades.
Do your blades have a precision trimmer on the back?
Yes, Schieller Excel 5 blades have a precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge. This trimmer is perfect for detailed grooming, such as shaving under the nose, shaping sideburns, or defining beard lines.
Which of your handles is the heaviest?
The heaviest handle in our range is the Schieller Senator, made from premium vinyl and metal materials for a sturdy feel and maximum control while shaving. This handle is ideal for those who prefer balance and a firm grip.
How often should I change the blades?
The frequency of blade replacement depends on how often you shave, as well as your skin and hair type. In general, we recommend changing the blades after 8–10 uses or when you start feeling tugging, or if the shave is no longer as smooth as usual. Also, keep an eye on the lubricating strips—if they fade, it's time for a replacement.
Are your blades and handles compatible with other brands?
Yes, Schieller blades and handles are compatible with Gillette Mach 3 and Gillette Venus series. However, we recommend using original Schieller blades for the best results and maximum shaving comfort. Our products are designed to deliver optimal performance and precision when used with Schieller handles.
Can I use Schieller for shaving my body and head?
Yes, Schieller razors are versatile and well-suited for shaving both the body and head. For more sensitive areas, we recommend using a high-quality shaving gel and regularly rinsing the blades to prevent irritation. The Schieller Excel 5, with its five blades and flexible head, ensures a smooth and comfortable shave on any part of the body.
Are Schieller blades suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Schieller blades are designed with sensitive skin in mind. Thanks to advanced blade technology, they provide a smooth and comfortable shave with minimal irritation. Each blade features a lubricating strip enriched with soothing ingredients to reduce friction and protect the skin during shaving. For the best results on sensitive skin, we recommend using Schieller blades with a high-quality shaving gel or foam and following a proper shaving routine, including hydration and post-shave care.
Can I shave against the grain with Schieller blades?
Yes, you can safely shave against the grain with Schieller blades. Our blades are designed to provide a smooth and comfortable shave without excessive skin irritation. If you choose to shave against the grain, we recommend using a high-quality shaving gel or foam to enhance blade glide and applying light strokes without too much pressure. This approach helps minimize irritation and ensures the smoothest possible result.
