Wrap the razor head in your thick towel (this protects the blade if it slips). Then, take your pliers and grip the very top edge of the plastic casing—the part that surrounds the blade. Squeeze firmly, but don’t Hulk out. You’re trying to crack the plastic seam, not crush it into dust.
You should hear a tiny pop or crackle noise. That’s the sound of victory—or the sound of the plastic tabs breaking. Either way, it’s progress. If you don’t hear anything, try twisting slightly with the pliers. The goal is to separate the two halves of the razor head like a reluctant clam.
Step Three: The Screwdriver Wiggle
Now, take your small flathead screwdriver and gently pry open the gap you just created. Insert the tip into the seam near the blade and wiggle it. The blade should start to lean out like a shy teenager peeking from behind a curtain. Do this slowly. You’re not opening a can of surly beans; you’re coaxing a metal lullaby.
If the blade seems glued in, don’t force it. Instead, give it another 30-second soak in hot water. Patience is your secret weapon—fire is a blunt instrument. You’re a delicate artist.
