To maximise closeness, comfort and enjoyment we recommend:
First wash your face in plenty of warm water ensuring your bristles are thoroughly soaked. Try shaving in the shower.

Using a clean sharp blade, shave carefully with short strokes in the direction of your hair’s growth. Rinse your razor frequently.
Afterwards, thoroughly rinse skin with clean water. Then pat your face dry with a clean towel.
Using a moisturiser or a balm after shaving helps to soothe and protect your skin.

Time to replace a well used KoS razor, only place to go was KoS again. Great razor for a great shave
My son uses the K3 razor which works wonders. I ordered the K5 and wouldn’t look back. After using other big brands they simply do not compete. K5 gives smoothest finish by far! I use with Ooh La La shave gel and my attitude towards shaving has totally changed since!
I have been a loyal customer of King of Shaves for many years. I have had an Azopt 4 razors for a long time. This K5 razor is awful… After two shaved the blade is blunt - the azor blades lasted quite a long time I accept the initial shave is good but long term performance isn’t looking good . King of shaved - Please sort out the blade quality
I changed to K5 razor blades having used the K4 for many years. The K4 gave a great shave, and the blade lasted a fair time. Disappointed with the K5 blade, it starts out with a good shave but then rapidly deteriorate, becomes uncomfortable to use, loses its sharpness and soon has to be replaced. Sadly, K4 is no longer available, however earlier this year was given a K3 to trial which I found at that time far superior to the K5 in terms of shave, and the time the blade lasted before having to be replaced. Might decide to buy the K3 later and see if the standard has been maintained.
K4 K.of S. committed. No blades available now. Thanks for K5. Pluses : tidy, comfortable handle, gets into corners, smooth result. Minuses : "scraping" sensation on skin surface cf K4. No protective packaging over blade. Only tried one blade. Will try others but fear width/quality of blade is the issue.
I am an avid K4 user, and have been since it was introduced. It is (or was) the best shave ever. When I queried the reason that K4 blades were no longer available, I was kindly provided with a trial K5. What a disaster. After three days trialling, I had to give up. Razor burns on the chin below my lower lip, and below my ears; stubble remaining under my chin and on the throat, where I dare not repeat for fear of more soreness. The handle of the retro K4 is a straight shank, knurled to ensure that the hand gets a firm grip. On this dreadful K5, the handle is in the shape of a dead chicken's leg, and allows the hand to slip. It would appear that I have to look at other manufacturers for a replacement to my beloved K4. That is a crying shame, as I have been a loyal customer of KoS for a good number of years - unless the company finds a supplier to continue the excellent K4......
I've been using King of Shaves for over 10 years. The Azure razor system was perfect for my skin and beard. However, things move on and the Azure system became unavailable to buy. I contacted King of Shaves to find out what had happened, the Customerservices informed me of the problems and offered me the new system, K5 five blade system as a complimentary offer. What more can I say, the shave is equally as good as Azure, in fact it is better and I'm really pleased I've stayed with the producers, King of Shaves, they certainly are.
Excellent close shave. Using with Your oil no razor burn
