MAINTAINING YOUR SHAVING TOOLS: HOW TO CLEAN AND CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER

 Keep your tools in top shape with the right cleaning and care techniques for longer-lasting, smoother shaves.

Your shaving tools are more than just a daily convenience—they’re an investment in your grooming routine. Whether you're using a trusty entry level electric shaver or a top-of-the-line electric shaver, proper maintenance is crucial to keep them running smoothly. Not only does this ensure a better shave every time, but it also extends the life of your tools, saving you money in the long run.

In this guide, we’ll break down the best ways to clean, store, and maintain your shaving equipment, including our ultimate game-changer: Shaver Guard+, the best electric shaver cleaning spray on the market.

1. After Ever Use Care: Brush Out Hairs

This is the easiest, quickest, and most effective way to keep your shaver in prime condition. After every shave, make sure to brush away any hair or shaving residue that’s left in the blades or under the cage of your electric shaver. This step prevents buildup, which can affect the performance of your shaver over time.


After each shave, use the cleaning brush that usually comes with your electric shaver to brush out hair from the head and under the shaving foil or blade cage. Pay extra attention to the areas where hair tends to accumulate, as this will help maintain peak performance and reduce the need for deeper cleans.

2. Introducing Shaver Guard+: The Ultimate Shaver Maintenance Product

To keep your electric shaver in top condition, it’s not enough to just brush out the hairs. You need a product that not only cleans the blades but is antibacterial breaking down oil and skin from your face, also keeps the blades lubricated, friction-free, and smelling great. That’s where Shaver Guard+ comes in.

How Shaver Guard+ Works:
After brushing out any hair from your electric shaver, simply spray Shaver Guard+ onto the blades. It only takes 3 seconds, and you don’t need a lot of product to see the benefits. Once applied, turn on your shaver and let it run for 10 seconds. You can generally hear the product taking effect in the sound of your shaver. This activates the product, ensuring that the blades are cleaned, lubricated, and protected from wear and tear.

Why It’s Essential:
Not only does Shaver Guard+ clean your shaver, but it also keeps the blades running smoothly, reducing friction and improving the quality of your shave. Plus, with all its benefits. it extends the life of the blades, so you won’t have to replace them as often. Saving money while keeping your shave top-notch? That’s a win.

3. Deep Cleaning: Twice a Year for Peak Performance

While daily maintenance is important, a deeper cleaning every few weeks is essential to keeping your electric shaver or manual razor in excellent condition. Over time, even the best tools will accumulate stubborn buildup that brushing alone can’t fix.

Once every 6 months, remove the shaving head and foil from your electric shaver, and give it a thorough rinse under warm water. Use a small cleaning brush to get into all the nooks and crannies. After rinsing, let it dry completely before reassembling.

After assembly, spray your blades with Shaver Guard+ as usual.

4. Storing Your Shaver: Keep Them Dry and Protected

How you store your shaving tools is also important. Storing them improperly can lead to rust, corrosion, and premature blade dulling.


Always store your electric shaver in a dry place like a bathroom drawer or cabinet and make sure it’s completely dry before putting it away. If your shaver has a protective cap or travel case, use it to keep dust, dirt, and moisture out. Additionally, avoid leaving your electric shaver in damp environments like on your bench in the bathroom to prevent constant moisture exposure which over time can cause rust and erosion. 

5. Replace the Blades or Foil for Best Results

Even with proper care, blades and foils will eventually wear down. If you notice that your electric shaver isn’t cutting as smoothly as it used to, or you’re experiencing more skin irritation, it’s probably time to replace the blade or foil. The timeframe will depend on the quality of the shaver and how often you are using it. Most leading brands offer replacement blades so you don’t need to buy a whole new shaver.

Why Blade Replacement Matters:
Dull blades can cause discomfort, skin irritation, and a less effective shave. By replacing blades, you ensure that you’re always getting the closest, most comfortable shave possible. Investing in high-quality blades means better results with fewer passes over your skin, leading to less irritation.

6. The Bottom Line: Proper Care Equals Longer-Lasting Tools

Maintaining your shaving tools is an investment in your grooming routine. Proper cleaning, lubrication, and storage will keep your shavers working efficiently for longer, ultimately saving you money by extending the life of your tools.

Shaver Guard+ is a game-changer in the world of electric shaver maintenance. By incorporating it into your routine, you’ll keep your blades clean, lubricated, and in great condition with minimal effort.
