Find the right razor for your shaving style

Choosing the right safety razor

A safety razor uses a single replaceable blade to give you more control over your shave. Compared with many modern cartridge systems, traditional safety razors can reduce tugging, lower ongoing blade costs, and turn shaving into a calmer, more deliberate routine.

For beginners

If you are new to traditional wet shaving, start with a mild or medium safety razor. These razors are easier to control and more forgiving while you learn the correct shaving angle, blade choice, and pressure.

For sensitive skin

Anyone with sensitive skin often benefit from using less pressure, fewer blades on the skin, and better preparation before shaving. Pair your safety razor with a quality shaving cream or soap, use a sharp blade, and finish with an alcohol-free aftershave balm to help calm the skin.

For experienced wet shavers

Experienced shavers may prefer a more efficient razor, an adjustable safety razor, or a design with a little more blade feel. These options can help manage coarse beard growth or deliver a closer result in fewer passes.

Open comb, closed comb, or adjustable?

A closed comb safety razor is often the best starting point because it feels smooth and controlled. Open comb razors can be more efficient for thicker growth or shaving less often. Adjustable razors let you change the feel of the shave, making them useful if you want one razor that can adapt to different blades, beard growth, or shaving routines.

Frequently asked questions

Are safety razors better than cartridge razors?

Many prefer safety razors because they use a single sharp blade, which can reduce tugging, irritation, plastic waste, and ongoing blade costs compared with multi-blade cartridge systems. The shave also gives you more control once you learn the technique.

Is a safety razor good for sensitive skin?

A safety razor can be a good option for sensitive skin because it uses fewer blades on the skin. For best results, use light pressure, prepare the beard properly, choose a blade that suits your skin, and finish with a calming aftershave balm.

Which safety razor is best for beginners?

Most beginners should start with a mild or medium closed comb safety razor. These razors are easier to control and help you learn the correct angle without feeling overly aggressive.

Do safety razors save money?

They can. The razor itself is usually a longer-term purchase, while double edge replacement blades are generally much cheaper than modern cartridge refills. Many shavers find the ongoing cost lower over time.

What blades do safety razors use?

Most safety razors use double edge razor blades, often called DE blades. Different blades can feel sharper, smoother, or milder depending on your skin and beard, so a blade sampler pack is a good way to find the right match.

What else do I need to start safety razor shaving?

At minimum, you need a safety razor and double edge blades. For a better traditional shave, we recommend adding a shaving brush, shaving cream or soap, and an alcohol-free aftershave balm.
