FAQs
What are safety razors?
A safety razor is a type of shaving device with a protective barrier between the blade edge and the skin, designed to reduce cuts and other injuries while shaving.
Why are they called safety razors?
The name 'safety razor' comes from the device's ability to keep the user safe from nicks, scrapes, tears, and cuts while shaving, which can occur when using a traditional straight razor.
What is the difference between safety razors?
Today, safety razors come in two main types – reusable and disposable. Disposable safety razors feature small blades embedded in a plastic shell and may be used only a few times before being thrown away. Some disposable safety razors instead feature a replaceable multi-blade cartridge and a reusable frame and handle. Made from durable materials like stainless steel, fully reusable safety razors can last for decades, with fresh single blades slipped in and out as needed.
Is shaving with a safety razor dangerous?
Shaving with a safety razor is far less dangerous than shaving with a straight razor. However, users of disposable plastic safety razors may take some time to adjust to shaving with a reusable safety razor. Lather with a quality shaving cream first, hold the razor at a 30-degree to 45-degree angle, shave with the grain of the hair, and use gentle pressure, and you should complete your shave nick-free!
How long does a safety razor last?
Both water and the salts in your skin can dull and corrode safety razors. Dry the razor and blade thoroughly after every use, and store in a dry place to prevent rust buildup. On average, experts recommend switching out your blades every week.
