This disposable razor from Unigloves is a consumable for preparing the client's skin before tattooing. It features a single stainless steel blade, a protective cap, and a black plastic body, sold individually per piece. It is useful for artists who want to top up their stock with a few units, as well as for guest spots, conventions, or travel kits where you don't need a full box.
Can the blade be reused on multiple clients?▾
No. It is a single-use product, designed for one client and one use. Reusing it, even on the same client at a later session, risks cross-contamination and a less clean shave because the edge dulls. After you finish, discard the razor in the sharps container.
How do I properly dispose of the razor after use?▾
Dispose of it immediately, whole, in a sharps container. Do not put it in regular household trash and do not attempt to disassemble the blade. This is the standard procedure for hazardous waste in a tattoo studio and protects you and those who handle the waste.
What is the difference compared to the box of 100 pieces?▾
The product is the same, only the sales format differs: here you buy it individually, not in a box. The individual option is useful when you want to test the product, need a few units for an event, or top up an existing stock. If you use it regularly, the large box is usually more cost-effective per unit.
Why is it necessary to shave the area before tattooing?▾
Hair in the work area causes several issues: it covers the stencil's visibility, snags on needles, prevents uniform needle contact with the skin, and can trap impurities. A clean shave with a fresh blade gives you a smooth surface where the stencil adheres better and you work more precisely.
In which direction should I shave and how should I prepare the skin?▾
First apply shaving gel or medical green soap, then shave in the direction of hair growth with short strokes and light pressure. Shaving against the grain irritates the skin and can cause ingrown hairs. Finally, clean and disinfect the area before applying the stencil.
Is it suitable for conventions and travel?▾
Yes. Being individually packaged and sold per piece, it is easy to put in a travel kit and does not force you to carry a whole box. Each separately packaged unit also helps demonstrate hygiene at booths where sanitary conditions are checked.
