Entirely designed and developed in Italy, the Valynor safety razor is the latest creation by The Goodfellas’ smile.

The handle is made from silver anodized aluminum, while the head and the base are in machine-polished, uncoated brass*.
Specifications
The Valynor razor is a unique product, where details of light, shadows, and contrasts merge to delight the eye. However, the real magic reveals itself during shaving. Made up of 4 detachable parts (base, handle, plate, and cap), the Valynor razor provides a gentle yet effective shaving experience, thanks to its Gap of 0.8 mm.
The head of the Valynor razor is ideal for the mustache area as well. The four corners of the plate are rounded for a perfect feeling on the skin. The grooves are wide, allowing optimal expulsion of the cut hair. The handle measures 85 mm in length, with a head thickness of 7 mm, for a total razor length of 92 mm. The head has a width of 43 mm, which allows the cap to hide the edges of the shaving blade. Weight 78 g.
*Please note: Brass is a long-lasting material, known for its aesthetic charm, resistance to corrosion and oxidation. However, over time, brass parts can tarnish and lose their shine. To preserve the beauty of brass, it is necessary to treat it carefully and clean it periodically with specific brass products.

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.
