If the idea of handling a bare blade has been putting you off switching from a stick razor, here's the good news: Reset makes it simple. No loose steel to align, no base plate to get right, no assembly. Just a white key, a twist, and a fresh blade in seconds.
Why Reset Skips the Assembly Altogether
Traditional razors that use a loose blade ask you to build the head yourself every time you shave, stacking a cap, a blade and a base plate, then checking the alignment before you tighten it down. Get it wrong and the razor won't cut properly, or worse, you nick yourself putting it together.
Reset was designed to remove that step entirely. The blade sits inside a cartridge, and a white key does the work of releasing it, no threading, no alignment checks, no guessing which way is up.
How to Change the Blade
- Insert the white key. There's a space built into the end of the razor for it.
- Twist. This releases the cartridge frame from the old blade.
- Remove the old blade and put the new one into the cartridge frame.
- Click the frame back into place. You're ready to shave.
The whole swap takes seconds. Handle the new blade by its edges the same way you would with any fresh blade, and you're set.
When to Change It
Swap your cartridge every 5 to 10 shaves, depending on your hair type, how often you shave, and how well you look after it. Coarser hair and more frequent shaving wear a blade down faster. Watch for the usual signs: tugging instead of gliding, needing multiple passes, or irritation straight after you shave. If any of those show up, it's time for a fresh cartridge regardless of the count.
Keeping Your Cartridge in Good Shape
- Rinse it after every shave. Clear out hair and product buildup so nothing sits on the blade.
- Hang it, don't leave it lying flat. Every Reset Razor comes with a silicone hanging tie. Standing water against the blade is what causes wear and bacterial buildup, not the shower itself. Hanging it lets it drain and dry properly between shaves.
- Use a proper gel or soap. Reset's Roll-on Shave Gel is built for a quick, rinse-free prep that reduces resistance on the blade, so it stays sharper for longer.
A Cartridge System, Not a Disposable One
Reset's body is designed to last. The cartridge is the only part you're replacing, which means far less waste than tossing a whole razor every few weeks. When it's time to retire an old cartridge, check with your local council on metal recycling options in your area. Don't settle. Reset.
