Why It’s Special

The Syntesi Velvet takes the lightweight characteristics of the aluminum Syntesi and combines them with modified cap geometry designed to give the razor shaving characteristics closer to its steel counterpart. The result is an extremely light razor intended to remain controlled and versatile while providing enough efficiency for both daily and weekly beard growth.

Its 45-degree shaving angle is designed to help guide the user's hand toward the intended cutting position. The razor is also designed for versatility beyond facial shaving, including head shaving and sensitive body areas.

Large drainage openings in the head help quickly clear accumulated lather and hair during the shave. A quick rinse under running water helps clean the safety bar before continuing with the next pass.

The blade-locking system is designed for simple and intuitive blade positioning during assembly. The handle also includes a pre-installed Nylon razor saver washer housed within the handle screw. This housing helps keep the washer securely in place during disassembly. If necessary, the washer can be lifted from its slot and reinserted.

Syntesi Velvet vs. Steel & Standard Aluminum

The three Syntesi versions share the same focus on technical shaving performance, but their construction and geometry create different shaving characteristics:

• Syntesi Steel: The additional weight and structure create a calmer, more deliberate shaving feel.
• Syntesi Aluminum: Its lighter construction creates a livelier feel that can require a more technical approach.
• Syntesi Velvet Aluminum: Combines extreme lightness with modified cap geometry intended to produce characteristics closer to the steel version.

Finish Note

The screw on the Syntesi Velvet razor cap is subject to normal wear. With use, the screw may partially lose its black anodized finish and reveal the natural aluminum color underneath. This is expected and does not affect the other areas of the cap.

Pro Tip

At only 34g, the Syntesi Velvet is significantly lighter than many traditional safety razors. Avoid compensating for the low weight by adding pressure. Instead, use light, controlled strokes and allow the razor's 45-degree shaving geometry and blade to perform the cutting.

Made in Italy

The Syntesi safety razor was created through an exclusive collaboration between Italian companies The GoodFellas Smile and Minuterie Metalliche Rocchetti. The razor is developed and manufactured in Italy.
