The Max builds on everything customers love about the SE and Pro razors — with a new pivoting head that adjusts to your face as you shave. It helps maintain the perfect angle and glide for a smoother, more comfortable experience. Think of it as a subtle evolution that makes shaving even easier.

Absolutely. Even if you're new to single-blade shaving, the Max is designed to feel intuitive. The pivoting head helps guide the razor naturally, so you don’t have to think too hard about the angle.

Make sure your hair is short enough for the Max to glide through, but not too long that it gets stuck. Also, checking that your blade is at the appropriate angle will help with hair tugging.

1. Apply less pressure when you shave.

2. Shave with the grain, not against it.

3. Use a multi-pass shaving technique with small, short strokes in the direction of the hair growth.

4. Find a 5- to 10-degree angle for the blade against your skin.

If your blade is old, consider changing it.

Simply rinse the razor under warm water. If there is extra buildup, pop the head of the razor open and rinse. For a deeper clean, you can take the Max apart and clean its components with mild dish soap and water.

Yes, this may happen. Due to the Max's pivoting head feature, there is less space beneath the razor where the shaving cream would normally drain.

If you notice that your razor is getting clogged, we recommend running the head of the razor under a stream of warm water to loosen excess shaving cream. For a deeper rinse, pop the head of your razor open with your thumb and run the horizontal plane under water. Make sure to dry thoroughly and store in the Wall Mount for best results.

No, the Max is not TSA compliant for carry-on luggage due to its loose blade. It can only be packed in checked luggage.

The Max has been designed for shaving the face and neck.

Most customers get 8 to 10 shaves per blade, depending on hair type and how often you shave. If you shave 5–6 times per week, a pack of 8 blades can last you up to 2–3 months.

The Single Edge Max’s pivoting head pushed us to rethink blade loading. We set out to make an easier-to-use safety razor with the key feature of a pivoting head. By nature of using a pivoting head with a hands-free blade loading system, injector blades were not an option due to the size of the head. Side injection loading would put too much stress on the razor.

To fix this, loading the blade at the top let us address that problem while preserving design intent and keeping users safe from handling blades with bare hands. The Max has a unique, three-prong platform to keep our custom blades secure. This design lets the head of the razor pivot while delivering you an ultra-close shave

Yes, the blades themselves are the same, but the injector you use with the SE or Pro won’t work with the Max's cartridge system. If you already have Supply blades in an injector, you can eject them manually and load them into the Max cartridge by hand. It's easy and takes just a few seconds.

To fix this, simply place one blade into the razor head by hand and leave the other on the blade cartridge platform. That way, the next time you swap blades, you'll be all set!
