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.
Six ways into single-blade shaving, from the razor alone to the full ritual. The Kronos Safety Razor, chrome-plated brass or natural bamboo, both plastic-free, is where most keepers start: one blade, a standard double-edge, no cartridge to feed. Add a stand and a brush and it becomes the Three Piece Set, a complete wet-shave kit built around that same razor. For a year of shaves in one box, the Home Barber Set pairs the razor with a stand, a blade bank and sandalwood soap. The other three are ready-made starts on the Portico's three Orders: the Doric Ritual Set, the shortest honest routine with a razor, a stand and a cream; the Ionic Ritual Set, balancing a razor, a stand, a soap and a blade bank; and the Corinthian Ritual Set, the full ritual with a razor, a brush, a stand, fifty blades, two soaps and a cream.
