For adjustable razors you'll hold the middle to the top of the handle and the other hand on the end of the handle. Begin twisting the bottom of the handle counter-clockwise while holding the middle part of the handle firm.
The top of the razor will open up. Once it fully opens remove the old DE blade, rinse it out, and replace with a new blade.
Perform the inverse of the activities to secure it in place. Holding the middle of the handle firm and twisting the bottom part of the handle clockwise to close the head.

Some adjustable razors don't have the twist on and off option I mentioned in the last step. The way you replace the blades in these razors is to pull the top off.
Hold the top on the sides firmly with one hand (the site of the razor head where the blade is not exposed).
Use the other hand to firmly hold the handle and you'll pull the head directly up. This requires a bit of effort and uncomfortable the first time doing it. You'll replace the blade and pop the head back on in place just the inverse of removing it.

Single edge or SE have a few differences. The first is the blade is single edge and not two sided. Most commonly called just a razor blade. It's important to note because you cannot use a double edge blade in a single edge razor. You also cannot use single edge blade in a double edge razor.
Just make sure you have the right blade for the razor.
Replacing the blade on a single edge is also very simple. The head usually can be pushed down on the back side and it opens up allowing for an easy replacement.
Don't throw the used blade in the garbage. You can make a DIY blade bank or buy one for a few bucks. Checkout our article on How to dispose of de razor blades to make sure you are not putting others at danger with careless disposal.
