The new Cocobolo safety razor with a closed comb, signed by Saponificio Varesino, designed for Double Edge blades, embodies the quintessence of Italian craftsmanship. Launched with great enthusiasm at the SANA fair in Bologna in 2023, it stands out for its head and the sophisticated Corona SV decoration, masterfully forged in 303 stainless steel.
The precision with which it was made is confirmed by the respect for the tolerances dictated by the UNI EN-ISO 22768mk regulation and by CNC machining, guaranteeing a product of unparalleled precision and detail.

In addition, the safety razor with a closed comb by Saponificio Varesino offers a refined selection of handles, available in both wood and resin. This wide range was designed to harmoniously complement the handles of the famous SV2.0 shaving brush series.
The manufacturer has paid attention to every minor detail, ensuring a shaving experience that perfectly combines functionality, aesthetics, and Italian tradition.

Tightening a safety razor correctly does not mean cranking it down hard until you damage the threads. Proper tightening usually involves a small final turn once you’ve reached the stop. In addition, to preserve the handle’s threading, it’s recommended to always join the head and handle while keeping them perfectly straight and aligned.

A well-maintained safety razor lasts a long time and stays looking good, which is why cleaning after every use is an essential step. Daily maintenance doesn’t require complicated procedures: after shaving, rinse thoroughly with warm water and a mild cleanser (such as hand soap or shampoo), then dry each part carefully.

We also recommend not leaving the blade installed and dirty in the razor. If it stays damp and covered with residue, the blade can start micro-oxidation; over time these marks can transfer or leave stains on the razor as well, worsening the appearance of the finish.

Special attention for zamak razors: with this material it’s important to disassemble, rinse, and dry every single component after use. In particular, the top cap thread is an area where water and residue can easily build up: if neglected, over time this can trigger corrosion and wear, eventually weakening the thread and compromising functionality.

To protect materials and finishes, avoid any “extreme” methods: do not boil the razor, do not put it in the dishwasher, and do not use harsh products or aggressive procedures. Even on high-quality razors, these practices can damage chrome plating, anodizing, and other coatings.

Do you have a brass razor and want to restore its shine? A simple remedy is to soak the components in a bowl with lemon juice for about 10–15 minutes. Then rinse and dry with a soft, scratch-free cloth for a clean, bright finish.
