Shoreline Shaving dermaplaner (to remove ‘peach fuzz’ hair’)

Shoreline Shaving’s stainless steel dermaplaners are used to exfoliate skin on the face, and remove ‘peach fuzz’ like on upper lips. The set includes a silicone blade cover and three replacement blades (also in rose gold). Then just buy refill blades.

Keep away from children and pets, due to sharp blades.

Only use the tool every four weeks or so. Hold at a 45-degree angle, then use short gentle strokes to shave in downward motions. Be extra cautious around the nose and upper lip. Clean with rubbing alcohol.

Using a blade to scrape skin off your face may sound alarming, but if done properly with good tools, it’s a good way to scrape off dead skin and ‘fuzzy hairs’ without trips to the beautician or leaving stubble.

Although it should not be used on active acne, eczema or sensitive skin), dermaplaning can be used to soften the look of shallow acne scars, by removing the top layer of skin. Safer than an acid peel.

If dermaplaners are not suitable, find a trained technician for ‘threading’, an Indian method of using twisted cotton thread to pluck hairs from the root. It’s also used for eyebrows.

Pop used blades in a blade bank 

This razor blade disposal tin is made from strong tin plated steel, designed to enclose used blades to store up to 100 blades safely. It should take a year to fill, and presents the hazard of sharp blades cutting refuse workers, or birds/wildlife at landfills. Use it also to pop used razor blades inside.

This blade bank only costs a few pounds. It’s an upgrade of making a slit in a tin can. Seal with adhesive paper tape, before recycling when full.
