Safety razors are easy to use, highly effective at giving a close and comfortable shave, and only use one double-sided blade at a time! Our metal safety razor comes with 5 double-sided blades to last 6-12 months depending on usage. Affordable refill blade packs can be purchased online. We recommend watching one of the many YouTube videos that provide an overview on how to use a safety razor - it's easier than you might think! Also check out our specially formulated shave soap, which provides a great moisturizing lather to complement the razor. To dispose of an individual blade, place it carefully and securely inside a soda can or other metal can being recycled to prevent unintended cuts. Product comes pre-packaged in a cardboard box that contains the razor and blades.
