Many major razor brands rely on a simple psychological trick: the colored glide strip fades after a few shaves and signals to you: time to change. What looks like a smart feature often works like a built-in expiration date to get you to buy a new one faster.
The most important things in 60 seconds
- Colored lubricant strips often serve more as an artificial expiration date than a real quality feature.
- NASH dispenses with colorants and instead relies on a nourishing SmoothShield strip with aloe vera and vitamin E.
- NASH razor blades are made of specially coated steel and are built with patented Open.Flow technology, which can significantly extend their durability.
- With a simple 3-step routine of clean, dry and refresh, your blade will last 8 to 20 shaves.
- You should use separate blades for face and body.
Why we do without colored glide strips
With many conventional brands, the colored glide strip mainly serves as a visual signal for changing. At NASH, we deliberately do without such dyes. Instead, our SmoothShield strip nourishes your skin with aloe vera and vitamin E. So you decide for yourself when your blade really needs to be changed and not an artificially fading strip.
The Open.Flow technology for more durability
Another reason why you stay smoother for longer with NASH: Our razor blades are made from specially coated steel and built with patented Open.Flow technology. This design ensures that hair and lather can flow away more easily without clogging the blades quickly. The result: longer durability and a consistently close shave, day after day.
Your 3-step care routine for 8 to 20 shaves
With the right care, a NASH blade doesn't just last a few shaves, but up to 20, so you get the most out of every blade: sharper for longer, more comfortable on the skin and noticeably less unnecessary consumption in everyday life.
Step 1: Rinse properly
During shaving, rinse the blade briefly in a bowl or in the sink after each or every second stroke. After shaving, you should also rinse it thoroughly under running water. This removes foam, hair and residue directly from the area where it would otherwise dull the blade more quickly.
Step 2: Dry properly
Moisture is one of the biggest enemies of any blade. After use, it is best to place the razor upright in a holder or lay it down so that the blade and glide strip are facing upwards. Never place the razor head directly on the blade side, as this can damage the fine cutting edges and hinder drying.
Step 3: Clean thoroughly
If stubborn residue does build up between the blades, you can clean the blade thoroughly. An old, clean toothbrush, for example, can be used for this, brushing gently in the direction of blade growth. This keeps the blade clean, efficient and ready for the next shave.
An extra tip for your hygiene
How can you tell if the blade is really overdue? As soon as it pulls when shaving or the shave no longer feels clean and effortless, it's time for a change. We also recommend using two separate blades for face and body. This is more hygienic and makes sense because the different hair structures put different amounts of strain on the blades.
NASH conclusion
A better morning starts with the right tools. If you do without artificial change signals and instead rely on high-quality materials such as specially coated steel with Open.Flow technology, you remain in control yourself. With three simple steps, you can get the best out of your NASH blade: for a smooth result, a fair price and a clear start to your day.
