What is a double edge razor with stand?

The double edge razor was the most widely used type of razor before the mass production of disposable razors exploded. The first double-edge safety razors had no guard, so most people needed the help of an experienced barber to shave. However, during the 20th century, more user-friendly models began to be marketed, making the safety razor wildly popular.

This double-edge safety razor comes with a matching metal stand so that you can store and display it beautifully in your bathroom after each shave.

Are double-edge razors better than plastic razors?

Double-edge razors have many other advantages besides being more environmentally friendly than plastic razors. They also offer a better and more precise shave, they are more affordable, and they are beautiful objects that will last a long time.

Fewer blades for fewer skin problems

When single-use plastic products became more and more popular, the big shaving companies, eager to make a profit at any price, made the traditional razor a thing of the past. Every sales argument was used to increase turnover, including offering razors with more and more blades.

However, although a 5-blade razor may seem to offer a closer shave at first glance, this is often far from the case. Running so many blades over your skin not only tends to irritate it but also cuts the hair below the skin’s surface, a practice that creates ingrown hairs. Shaving with a single blade reduces the risk of ingrown hairs and post-shave burns.

Another problem is that multi-blade razor heads cost a certain amount of money, so users tend to use them for far too long because they are expensive to replace. However, razor blades become dull with repeated use, so continued use creates irritation, ingrown hairs, and shaving bumps. Double-edge razor blades are much cheaper, so you can avoid all these problems by changing them at the first sign of dullness.

What is your bathroom waste legacy?

When you think about it, most of the products in our bathroom contain plastic, and it's often not truly recyclable. This is a shame because, for example, if a shampoo bottle is not disposed of properly, it can take up to 500 years to decompose. It's even more difficult with products like disposable razors, because the blades are encased in plastic, so it's simply not possible to recycle them.

This becomes even more problematic when you consider the number of hygiene products the average adult uses. Indeed, a person who shaves almost every day with disposable razors will use about 2400 razors in his or her lifetime.

What are the alternatives?

Fortunately, there are plenty of things we can do in our bathrooms to reduce our ecological impact.

Of course, switching from a plastic razor to a bamboo safety razor is a first step since you only have to change the razor blade, which can be recycled, but there are also many other alternatives to our usual hygiene products. For example, you can use bamboo toothbrushes, solid soaps and deodorants, reusable make-up remover pads, or even menstrual cups and reusable sanitary pads.

Composition

Brass - Brass is corrosion-resistant. It is perfect for creating long-lasting safety razors because it is a strong and solid material. The brass provides a perfectly weighted balance that will help you achieve a close and smooth shave.

Be aware that brass does not originally contain nickel but may show traces of it, so be careful and test it first if you have allergies.

What is the best way to store it?

It is best to keep your razor in a dry place, but a case is not necessary. You can also simply buy a razor stand to match your razor.

How often should the blade be replaced?

This varies from person to person. As soon as the blade is no longer sharp enough to cut your hair effortlessly, you should consider replacing it. The time it takes depends on how often you shave, what kind of hair you have, and how well you maintain the blade.

What are the cleaning instructions?

After each shave, unscrew the head to properly rinse all parts of the razor, dry them, and screw the head back on.

Will the razor and blades rust because they are made of metal?

No. The razors are made from a chrome-plated zinc alloy that does not rust. At the same time, the blades have a platinum coating, preventing corrosion, and making them even more resistant.
