Safety Razors

Safety Razors | Head Types and Materials for Every Shaving Level

Safety razors are the centrepiece of traditional wet shaving — they use a single double-edge blade that cuts cleanly, minimises irritation, and costs almost nothing to replace. They are built for anyone who wants precision, control, and a close shave without razor burn, whether a complete beginner or an experienced daily shaver.

The head type defines how the razor behaves. Closed comb safety razors guide the blade gently with less exposure, suited for daily use and sensitive skin. Open comb safety razors leave more blade exposed to handle coarse, thick stubble that resists milder heads. Adjustable models let you dial the aggressiveness up or down depending on the area of your face or how many days of growth you are tackling — one tool that adapts to every situation.

Construction materials matter just as much. Stainless steel safety razors hold their tolerances for decades without wear, brass delivers weight and stability that improves blade control, and lighter alloys offer an affordable entry point for anyone testing traditional shaving for the first time. Pair your razor with a quality shaving soap and the right blade for a result that outperforms any modern multi-blade cartridge system.
