Thread: Newbie with a Zeepk razor!

or just place it in the circular file never to be seen again.....or throw it out in the garage tool box could always use it to scape dirt and grime off engine parts and whatever other handy uses you can think of for metal that wont sharpen

Step 1: Stand in front of the mirror as if shaving, with the Zeepk near your face.

Step 2: In one fluid motion, turn on the faucet with one hand and rinse the Zeepk with the other.

Step 3: Repeat #2 at least 500 times in a row without dinging the blade on the faucet.



Then pick up a real razor.

YES, YES, YES, dinging the blade really ruins the start of a great shave and the rest of the day.....

Entirely correct in my opinion!
