FAQs

What is a Safety Razor?

A safety razor is a great alternative to single-use plastic razors. They use a normal razor blade but safely - there's nothing to be scared about with these.

Each of these safety razors has a unique stem of bamboo, making every handle slightly different in colour and pattern.

What makes plastic free safety razors different to disposable razors? Well once you have the handle, you're set.

You simply replace the fully recyclable razor blades when they're blunt and keep going - unlike the disposable plastic razors, when the blades are blunt, you have to throw away the whole thing. Unrecyclable and not very eco-friendly at all!

What makes a Safety Razor eco-friendly?

The replacement safety razor blades are fully recyclable, unlike disposable razors which are encased in plastic and so can't be recycled.

This means more plastic in landfills. Why not be seal-like smooth and use the best alternative to cartridge razors, for men and women!

The zero-waste razors use one single blade made from stainless steel so the blades are easily recyclable. Double-edge safety razor blades are economical.

Why is a Safety Razor better than disposable razors?

Safety razors have saved us countless plastic disposable razors - all of which are non-recyclable.

Guys and gals, shaving can be a pain but sometimes we've got to get it done. These safety razors provide a closer shave than the regular disposables and work out much cheaper in the long run!

Once you have the safety razor, all you need is to replace the blades (which are really cheap by the way!).

Product care

Make sure you wash it out thoroughly after use. How often the blades need to be replaced depends on shave frequency and hair type, this can vary from a few weeks to months.

Great razor

Only used once but it worked brilliantly. I really like the heft of the razor and the way it looks.
I was quite concerned because I'd never used a safety razor before and I thought I'd end up cutting myself badly the first time I used it, but it was really easy and straightforward (after reading the instructions). I feel confident in using it again!
And I love that I reduced another bit of plastic from my life.

Superb

Love, love, love this! It reminds of the type of razor my dad used when I was a kid. I think of him every time I use it. It’s like a piece of retro art and is a weighty, quality product.

Thank you so much for the review David!
So happy to hear it brings back such nice memories. Both Gabs and I use the razor, it's great to hear when people love it as much as we do!

Bamboo razor

This was a Christmas gift for my dad. He loves it as it gives a really close shave and is a good quality feeling product

I was a little concerned about trying this as I’d heard that these ‘safety razors’ were actually more likely to nick your skin. However, after watching a how-to video on it I’ve had no issues apart from a paper-cut (that was user error!). The trick is to let the weight of the handle do the work and not put any pressure on your skin.

Gives a really close shave and easy to rinse clean afterwards by loosening the head of the razor a bit. Really happy to have found a decent plastic replacement.
