Shaving Sensitive Skin With The Blade Bar

Designed for multi-blade razors, its no-mess lubricant coats blades directly for a gentle, smooth glide. Paired with the AfterBlade Bar, a water-activated balm, it nourishes skin for exceptional smoothness, making it ideal for those prone to razor burn. This guide shows you how to shave sensitive skin with confidence and care.

Sensitive Skin Challenges

Sensitive skin often reacts to shaving with redness, stinging, or bumps, especially with harsh creams or dull razors. The Blade Bar solves these issues by minimizing friction and eliminating irritation, as Sansnik’s testing confirmed. Its clear gel lets you see your skin, avoiding over-shaving, while its biodegradable design ensures a gentle, eco-friendly routine free of aerosol waste.

Why the Blade Bar Works

The Blade Bar’s gentle formula and precise application make it perfect for sensitive skin. Short, gentle strokes reduce trauma, and re-stropping every few passes maintains lubrication, preventing razor burn. Multi-blade razors (e.g., Gillette Sensor3 or Mach3) distribute pressure evenly, enhancing comfort. The AfterBlade Bar’s natural ingredients hydrate and soothe, elevating skin health without clogging pores, per Sansnik’s testing.

Follow these steps for a soothing shave:

• Mount the Blade Bar: Wash off the cornstarch to awaken its clinginess, pat dry, and mount on a glossy tile or glass (head height for face, lower for legs).

• Choose a Razor: Use a multi-blade razor (3+ blades, like Gillette Mach3 Sensitive) for even pressure.

• Prep Your Skin: Wash your face, head, or legs with warm water (90–100°F) to soften hair and open pores, removing oils.

• Wet the Blade Bar: Lightly wet the bar until bubbles appear during stropping—avoid soaking to prevent gumminess. 

• Strop and Shave: Glide your razor across the mounted Blade Bar 3–5 times, then shave with short, gentle strokes with the grain. Restrop every few passes (e.g., after a cheek or shin). Never strop in-hand for safety.

• Apply AfterBlade Bar: Rub the AfterBlade Bar onto wet skin, massaging gently for smoothness.

Tips for Sensitive Skin

Your Blade Bar stays mounted for months, ready for gentle shaves. Keep it wet during use but dry afterward to last 14+ weeks, replacing when worn or warped (1–3 months). Use lots of water on your skin and razor, but lightly wet the bar. For extra care, shave only with the grain and feel for stubble to avoid over-shaving, per Sansnik’s testing. Adjust stropping pressure for your water type—light for foam, firm for gel—with no impact on performance.
