Double Edge Safety Razor — Reusable Metal, 5 Blades Included

The razor your grandfather used, and still the cheapest close shave there is. One metal handle that lasts decades, and blades that cost pennies rather than dollars each.

What you get

• Reusable metal handle — aluminium alloy in black, rose gold or copper, or solid stainless steel.
• 30° blade angle — a mild, forgiving setting rather than an aggressive one.
• Five blades included — standard double edge blades, so any brand fits.
• Almost no waste — a thin steel blade instead of a plastic cartridge.

Worth knowing before you buy

This shaves differently to a cartridge razor and there is a learning curve. No pressure at all, short strokes, and let the weight of the head do the work. Your first few shaves may nick. By the fifth you will not go back.
