Questions, answered
Is a safety razor better for sensitive skin than a multi-blade razor?
Yes. A single blade cuts hair at the surface instead of tugging it up and slicing it below the skin, which is what leaves cartridge shavers with burn and bumps.
Do dermatologists recommend single-blade razors?
Dermatologists recommend single-blade razors for razor bumps, because a multi-blade cartridge's leading edge pulls hair up so the blades behind it cut it too short, below the skin.
Is a Kronos safety razor hard to learn?
No, but it's different. Let the razor's weight do the cutting and keep strokes short; unfamiliar for a week, second nature by the next.
What happens if my razor gets damaged?
It carries a lifetime warranty: accidental damage after six months of use is replaced free, for life.
Can I return a razor if it isn't for me?
Yes, within 100 days of it arriving, under a money-back guarantee that covers the whole order, delivery included.
A Kronos safety razor is where single-blade shaving begins: one blade, not five, on a reusable handle built to outlast the multi-blade cartridge it replaces. The Kronos Safety Razor is chrome-plated zinc alloy or natural bamboo. It encloses the blade's corners and sets a forgiving angle. That angle is what makes it nick less around an Adam's apple, a knee, an armpit, or a scalp. It takes a standard double-edge blade. The razor carries a lifetime warranty: if it breaks, Kronos replaces it, for life. Both handles arrive with no plastic in the box, and six products sit in this collection in total, from the razor alone to the fullest ritual set.
A single blade cuts hair at the surface. A multi-blade cartridge's leading edge pulls hair upward first, and the blades behind it cut a second time beneath the skin's surface. That double cut is the mechanism dermatologists point to for the burn and bumps that send people looking for a reusable razor in the first place. Learning the angle takes about a week to feel automatic. Let the razor's own weight do the cutting and keep the strokes short.
Add a stand and a brush and the razor becomes the Three Piece Set, razor, brush, and stand in one finish. The Home Barber Set pairs the razor with thirty blades, a year of shaves in one box for someone starting from nothing. Both build outward from the same razor sold on its own above.
The other three are ready-made starts on the Portico's three Orders, one set for each. The Doric Ritual Set, the Ionic Ritual Set, and the Corinthian Ritual Set move from the shortest routine up to the fullest. Each pairs the razor with a growing kit of blades, a soap, and a stand, detailed in full on the Order Ritual Sets collection. Someone who already owns the razor can add any of the three later. Someone starting fresh gets the razor and the kit together in one box.
