The Safety Razor Is currently the coolest razor for the Natscheerder. Whether you have been shaving your beard for years or you are just starting to shave your first whiskers. The safety razor is suitable for any type of skin and beard. Many of our customers who only start shaving or switching from the normal multi-blade razor from Gillette or Wilkinson to the Safety Razor are enthusiastic about the safety shear. Finsed drying shearers also indicate that ultimately wet shaving with this razor feels much more pleasant and skimmed smoother than the electric shaver.
Why is the Safety Razor the most popular razor?
For decades, the Safety Razor was not or hardly found in the shopship. Everyone did it with a throw-away shaving blades or electric. You could only find the safety shave and the corresponding Double Edge razor blades on eBay, Dutch Shaving Shop, Clean Shop or with us.
Currently, the safety sheers is back. In recent years you have seen the large razor manufacturers constantly developing new shaving knife systems. It started a long time ago with the Gillette Sensor Excel with two blades in it. The MACH3 and Fusion was then developed and marketed. Razor blades were given a sliding strip and could also vibrate. The razor blades became more and more complicated, got more and more blades and became more and more expensive. It was getting crazier and crazier. The competitor Wilkinson did not stand still either. The newest invention is razor blades with a heat element in it. These razor blades are heated so that it apparently has to shave even better. Enthusiastically the manufacturers always claim that the newest generation of razor blades do their job even better than the previous one. At the same time, more and more people started to be annoyed by the high retail prices and throwing away far too expensive razor blades. After shaving a few times, the knife went into the trash. Not really environmentally friendly, sustainable and a waste of money.
Moreover, the beard trend came around the corner. Men left their beards and had to maintain their beard and be able to shave well. The multi-blade razor blades with their sliding strips and wide protection edges are not suitable for tightly shaving the beard contours. Because the blades are close together, they get hidden very quickly with soaprut and beard hairs. Not really fresh and handy.
More and more men are discovering the Safety Razor. More than a billion men worldwide shave daily with the safety shear. Even Gillette reintroduced the safety shear a few years ago: King C Gillette. This razor is next to the MACH3 and Fusion razors in the store. Yes, and we know why the Safety Razor is so popular.
What are the benefits of the Safety Razor?
If you don't know yet, below the many benefits of the safety shear knife:
Cost savings
- The corresponding Double Edge razor blades only cost an average of € 0.30 each.
- Compared to the expensive common cartridge razor blades of the well-known brands, you save € 150 to € 200 on razor blades on an annual basis.
Fewer shaving irritations
- It causes far fewer irritations during and after shaving.
- Instead of immediately scraping 3 to 5 blades over your skin, only 1 sharp knife slides over your face. This ultimately ensures a less poor burning feeling on the skin and ingrown beard hairs.
- The multi-blade razor blades partly pull out the beard hair before the hair is shaved. This causes many men for ingrown beard hairs.
Universal shaving system
- It is a universal shaving system worldwide.
- All different brands of razor blades fit in all different razor blade holders.
Customization
- The different brands of razor blades and razor knife holders have different shaving properties: from mild, medium to aggressive sharp.
- You can combine the various razor blades with different shaving properties with any type of razor holder and fully adjust to any type (normal or sensitive) skin and beard (light, normal to heavy stiff beard growth).
- You have made many different holders from different materials (metal, plastic and wood) and various lengths and weight: short or long and light up to and including heavy handle.
- There are different types of shaving heads. The most common shaving head has a so -called closed comb. A shaving head with an open tooth comb skins a little more aggressively. With a twist-to-open or butterfly closure shaving head you can easily and easily change the razor blade. Finally, you also have razors with an adjustable shaving head. This shaving head has different shaving positions: from mild to aggressive. During shaving you can tune the shaving trait of the razor to your personal shaving technique.
Durable
- Most safety razors are made of metal and will last for normal use and good maintenance (regularly cleaning).
- The modern multi-blade razor blades consist of metal and plastic. The Double Edge razor blades only consist of metal. In the waste processing process, metal with a magnet is fished out and is therefore easy to recycle this in contrast to the modern blades.
Beard management and maintenance
- Many multi-blade razor blades have a sliding strip and wide protection edge around the blades. This makes it less suitable for tightening the beard contours. Because of these protection edges you have less view of where the razor shaves. Most Safety Razors have a rectangular shaving head. So you know exactly where the blade is and this allows you to shave the beard edges very accurately.
Hygiene
- The blades in the multi-blade razor blades are very close together. As a result, it quickly gets hidden with soap residues and beard hairs. You don't get these blades clean. The dirt is accumulating between the blades. This reduces the shaving quality.
- After shaving, you can easily remove the Double Edge razor blade from the holder and you can clean and possibly dry it. After cleaning, put the blade back in the shaving head.
The choice is huge
- You have a huge range of different materials: chrome -plated metal, stainless steel, high -quality plastic and processed and treated wood. Some handles are made of ash wood, dark mysterious ebony, marbled chic masurberk or robustly veined beech wood.
- The metal handle of many Safety Razors have either a sober functional grip or an artistic pattern. Chrome is widely used because it shines nicely and you often come across it in the bathroom. Processed stainless steel is very strong and durable and has a beautiful matted shine.
- You have classic, modern sleek or ergonomic design of the handle. The razors of the English Edwin Jagger have a recognizable traditional design. On the other hand, the Safety Razors of the German have Muhle A modern look.
Where should I pay attention when I buy a Safety Razor?
If you end up on our webshop for the first time, we can well imagine that you will no longer see the forest for the trees. There is so much choice.
If you want to switch to the Safety Razor you first have to ask the following to yourself:
- I have a light, normal or heavy stiff beard growth;
- I have normal or sensitive skin;
- I shave daily or once a week or even less;
- Do I shave everything smoothly or just the beard contours?
How do I recognize my beard growth? Most men have a normal beard. If you are young then you usually still have light soft beard hairs. If your beard hairs are as hard as copper wires and you can feel new beard stuffs within a day, then you have a heavy stiff beard growth.
Heavy versus light beard growth
Sensitive skin is a skin that is quickly irritated during or after shaving. You then suffer from dry flaky skin, red spots or a burning and tight feeling after shaving.
Sensitive versus greasy versus normal skin
Most men shave 3 to 4 times a week. In that case, the beard stuff is still short. If you do not shave for a week or longer, the beard hairs now have a nice length. It is clear that there is a difference in shaving technique between whether everything shave or shaving the bearded edges.

Safety Razor with extra closed comb
The Safety Razor is made for the comfortable and perfectly smooth shaving of face hairs. It is less suitable for shaving the armpits and the intimate parts. The Companion Rhavers of the German Muhle Have a rounded shaving head in which the knife is more recovered and protected. This makes this special razor suitable for shaving body hair.
Safety Razor with open tooth comb
The razors with a shaving head with open tooth comb are also sold a lot. This type of razor is slightly less popular than the razor with closed comb. This razor also consists of 2 parts. The difference is that the sides of the top plate are toothed, such as the teeth of a comb. As a result, the Double Edge razor blade is more open and it is more directly on the skin.

If you turn on the handle, the turning mechanism ensures that the 2 flaps open open. You put the blade in the shaving head and turn the butterfly closing again. The blade clamps in the shaving head. Most razors with butterfly closure are lighter in terms of weight compared to the normal safety razors. These razors also have a shaving head with closed comb.
