Bamboo Handle Double-Edge Safety Razor

Switching to a safety razor is mostly a matter of slowing down for the first week. This one makes that easy: the closed comb and fixed angle hold the edge at a forgiving position, so the blade does the work instead of your wrist.

The handle is carbonised bamboo, warm in the hand and grippier when wet than chrome, with a solid brass head that will outlast several handles. Ten double-edge blades are included — about a year of shaves for most people — and replacements cost cents rather than euros.

• Carbonised bamboo handle, brass head
• Takes any standard double-edge blade
• Ten blades included
• Closed comb, fixed angle
• 11.6 cm long, 4.3 cm head width
• Kraft gift box, plastic-free
