About Men's Safety Razors & Double Edge Razors
Choosing a Double Edge Razor
A double edge safety razor is a reusable razor designed for standard DE blades. Mild closed comb razors suit most beginners and daily shavers, while open comb and slant razors can help with heavier growth when used with good technique.
Mild, Efficient and Adjustable Options
If comfort is the priority, start with a mild closed comb razor or a precision-guided range such as Henson razors. If you want to change blade feel as your beard growth changes, compare adjustable safety razors.
Blades and Lather
The same DE razor can feel very different depending on the blade. Use double edge razor blades to tune sharpness and smoothness, then add a protective lather from shaving soap or shaving cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a double edge safety razor?
A double edge safety razor holds a replaceable blade with two shaving edges. The razor head controls the blade angle and exposure, while the blade can be changed cheaply when it starts to feel dull.
Do all double edge razors use the same blades?
Most standard double edge safety razors use standard double edge razor blades. Specialist shavettes, Artist Club razors and injector razors may use different blade systems, so check the product page before ordering replacements.
Should I buy a blade sampler with a DE razor?
Yes, a blade sampler is usually sensible because sharpness and smoothness vary by brand. Testing several blades helps you find the best match for your razor, beard and skin.
Let customers speak for us
from 420 reviewsI have the Henson AL13 Safety Razor V2.0 - Aircraft Aluminium, and this stand fits the razor perfectly. Great for resting the razor whilst it dries and for storing.
Decades ago I bought a standard brush. Didn't think it really mattered. It was so rough on my face I gave up. Turns out the brush does matter. I have especially delicate skin and this Muhle Classic Silvertip Fibre® Faux Ivory Shaving Brush makes sure it doesn't cause me any irritations whilst using it. Thankyou Muhle.
The customer care is second to none. I had a question after I placed an order and before it had been sent. The response was so quick and extremely helpful. Items were well packaged. Speedy delivery. Can’t fault the products. Thankyou Male Grooming Supplies.
Simpson’s shaving cream is the best I have used in over 60 years of shaving and this one, with a refreshing Lime scent is perfect and refreshing for Summer.
Having spent 55ish years using heavy, stainless steel razors from a variety of manufacturers, I was a little apprehensive forking out so much for an Aluminium alloy product. My fears were totally unfounded. This has been an epic experience, five shaves in five days with ZERO nicks or cuts. That, for me, is a novel situation - never happened before with a new (to me) razor, especially for my tough beard/sensitive skin combination.
The quality of the shave is truly BBS (baby bottom smooth), which lady-wife appreciates.
It's going to take a while longer to become accustomed to the lightweight hefty, but I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
The delivery was nice and quick, so no hanging around with a face full of stubble.
Would I recommend this razor? Yes, in a heartbeat. The same goes for the vendor. I am a happy bunny all around.
Fantastic razor, a brilliant upgrade from my trusty Edwin Jagger.
Great service and quick delivery. Would highly recommend!
The 180 ml Alexander Simpson Ultraglide Sandlewood shaving cream is the best shaving cream I have used in over 60 years of shaving. It comes to a rich, creamy lather on the brush, feels great on the skin and provides a smooth comfortable and close shave. The best available in my view and it lasts well too.
Truth be told, I bought this for a relative, so I have no personal thoughts to give. However, I am told that the gift went down a treat - exactly what was wanted! So, on that basis I reckon it deserves top marks.
What I can speak personally about is the brilliant service I received from MGS - again. Well packed, and delivered the very next day. Thank you, all!
Included in the parcel was an unexpected surprise: a 70gm puck of Cyril Salter lavender shaving soap! Now, I have quite a lot of soaps and creams to get through before I get round to this one; but get round to it I will - and then I can leave an honest review. Meanwhile, I must say that was a very kind gesture and much appreciated! Thank you, again.
This is my second of the Semogue SOC C5 brushes, the first having been the cherry wood handle example bought some time ago. Why I like them is because I find them - for my medium/large hand - ergonomically sound and comfortable to hold. Being a modern synthetic the bristles are soft but with plenty backbone. The loft may seem quite tall at 59mm but it is an excellent latherer both for swirling or using in a 'painterly' fashion. Recommended!
The good folk at MGS also deserve honourable mention for their brilliant service: I placed my order in the morning of one day and received the goods the next, well wrapped and protected in a substantial cardboard box. Thank you!
Excellent all round, many thanks
Muhle Closed Comb Black Safety Razor R106
Anyone familiar with Parker razors will know that, in general, they tend to be more on the aggressive side. The 78R is an exception. This is a mild/medium razor with barely any blade feel which, for a daily shaver (especially with sensitive skin) is a joy to use! Paired with a sharp blade (aren't they all??), (e.g. I used a Nacet blade, but, as always, YMMV) and a good-quality soap or cream, a smooth, comfortable, irritation-free shave is pretty much in the bag. Maybe not quite as ''autopilot'' as the Parker Aeroshave razor, but very close. For me, this razor is a 'keeper', and I'm so glad I bought it. If I had a 'gripe' it would be about the long, skinny handle; but when I consider all the positive things about this razor, the handle is hardly worth a mention. In any case, because it uses the standard M5 thread, it could always be swapped out for a different handle.
Many thanks, as usual, go to the good folk at MGS who, despite my ordering after the 3.00pm deadline, managed to get my well-wrapped parcel into the post for delivery the day after. Brilliant! Thank you!
For sure a mild razor - but that's what I like. For a daily shaver with sensitive skin this razor is pretty ideal. Paired with a decent blade (I used a Nacet blade, but others would be just as good), and a quality shaving soap or cream this is one of those 'autopilot' razors that doesn't demand 100% attention for every second of the shave; and being lightweight allows you to factor in your own level of pressure that is comfortable for you. It's nimble and manoeuvrable and getting those whiskers under the nose is a doddle. I don't chase BBS but the Aeroshave provides me with a DFS+ shave that lasts the day; and that I'm more than happy with.
With a blade gap of .59mm and a small amount of blade exposure this is definitely NOT a razor for mowing down several days' growth of beard, and nor should it be expected to; but if you shave on a daily basis - and have sensitive skin to boot - the Aeroshave is worth serious consideration. Horses for courses, and all that.
Service from the gentlefolk at MGS is excellent. I ordered this razor (along with another item) after the 3.00pm cut-off time and yet it still arrived, well packed and in good order, the following day! Thank you!
Many folks start their wet shaving addiction with the gateway drug that is the Merkur 34C. Now it’s back in satin finish stainless steel in a presentation box with a leather travel case. It’s also a little more efficient but not aggressive and the blade is now completely covered by the top cap. A genuine upgrade.
