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.
Compare two fixed closed-comb options: the standard Muhle R89 safety razor has a three-piece construction, while the Merkur 34C HD safety razor has a compact two-piece design and bright chrome finish. This R89 is the standard model, not the Grande or Twist. Both use standard double-edge blades; blade choice, pressure and technique affect how the shave feels. Check each product page for current availability.
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.
For upright storage, compare safety razor stands and combined brush-and-razor stands, checking handle diameter and model compatibility before ordering.
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
Feels good in the hand, nice weight and machined rather than cast.
I haven't wet shaved for a few decades because of razor burn and soreness, but recently decided to try again.
After going down the YouTube review rabbit hole I purchased this razor. I am very glad I did, and it is perfect for me. No razor burn at all. Very pleased.
Been using the razor now for over two weeks. It’s an excellent razor that gives a really close shave. Very light and easy to use. Even having a slight scar on my chin it doesn’t present a problem. Much better than some of the multi blade razors. One blade is enough! A lot cheaper with the blades and more environmentally friendly.
Great little stand which compliments my new Simpsons shaving brush perfectly!
Greet brush brings a great lather, its not too big, so great for holidays, synthetic, so drys quickly
Good razor if you have a thick beard and several days growth, open comb lets the several sday stuble easily rinse out without clogging
It does what it says in description
A lot of hair is falling out.
But it’s okay.
It will settle down after a few uses.
Right from the start, the user experience is excellent.
This was purchesed as a replacement for a 40 year-old case. This is the classic case for a classic razor. I'm thrilled that this is available. And the delivery to the States was icredibly fast. Thank you!
Very good case fits the razor fantastic, nice and safe in my wash bag
This is my first safety razor I’ve purchased and all I can say is this is brilliant easy to use a great weight and switching from my cartridge razors well I won’t be going back to them, this razor is fantastic, I’m very happy with my purchase.
Great product. I am a regular customer of Taylor of Old Bond Street.
Good old fashioned quality .
I used to be something of a wet shaving enthusiast and at one time had a collection of over thirty double edged razors, but my desert island razor is without a doubt the Henson. Almost all DE razors are merely slight variations on the early 1900s models, with their protruding safety bars, awkward shaving angles, and flat caps which don't bend the blade much, meaning you scrape the blade rather than slice with it. The Henson changed all that with it's angular cap which sharply bends the blade so you shave with the sharp edge, and it also forces you to adopt the correct 30 degree angle. Even the mild version has quite a large blade gap offset by a small blade exposure, so the shave is efficient but still very smooth. I have all three Henson aluminium models, but when I saw Male Grooming Supplies' superb price I decided to treat myself to the Ti22 titanium version. You can adjust the effectiveness of it slightly by using sharper blades (like Feather or BiC) for heavy growth, or smoother coated blades (Astra Platinums and almost any modest Lord blade) for day to day shaves. I read that Male Grooming Supplies are safe and reliable suppliers so I snapped up this Henson without a second thought. It's the most effective razor I've ever owned, thoroughly recommended.
Great shaving brush. Great delivery service…very quick.
