Reusable Safety Razors for Women & Men

Safety Razors FAQ

Safety razors were first invented in the 1800’s, but popularised by Gilette in the early 1900s when they were issued to the US army.

Double edged safety razors like the ones we make at Jungle Culture have removable heads and use razor blades which are replaceable and plastic-free, a fantastic sustainable alternative to disposable razors.

A double edged safety razor always has a protective razor guard built into the head, which significantly reduces the chance of cutting.

◄Can I recycle safety razor blades?

Absolutely! Safety razors are very eco-friendly and all blades can be recycled.

To recycle your eco-friendly razor blades, simply wipe them with a wet cloth and place in a metal recycling bin.

Visit our blog for more information on how to recycle safety razor blades.

◄Do all safety razor blades fit all safety razors?

No. They don’t. There are several different types of eco safety razors. Our razors are double edged and can only use double edged blades.

You can purchase high-quality safety razor blades here.

Or visit our blog for more information on safety razor blades.

◄Are your eco razors unisex?

If you're looking for a female safety razor for bikini area or a mens safety razor for your beard, our reusable razors for men and reusable razors for women are all designed to be 100% unisex.

◄Are safety razors good for sensitive skin?

Using a sustainable safety razor gives a close and clean shave, whilst avoiding irritation to the skin. In order to further reduce the chance of irritation, we recommend using your zero waste razor in conjunction with Jungle Culture shaving soap or a high-quality organic shaving soap.

◄Which safety razor blades are best?

There are many manufacturers of high-quality razor blades, but here at Jungle Culture we like Shark blades.

Derby blades provide a great zero waste shaving experience with a modest price tag.

◄How many times can I use a safety razor blade?

A good sustainable razor blade like the ones sold on our website can be used up to 8 times per side (total 16 uses). This varies according to the user.

Makes shaving a pleasure

Genuinely love this item and have since gifted a number to people. Made shaving a pleasure rather than a chore and made me take 10 minutes to slow down and enjoy life. Sturdy as hell, easy to clean and basically bomb proof. What's not to like.

Buy the stand.

Overall great product and I would buy again

I have had this for about 6 months and have many thoughts on this product, many of which are positive.

The razor has already saved me money as I don't need to buy expensive replacement heads. It's great for the environment, another plus. The actual razor blade are easy to replace and very cheap, though you do have to be careful not to nick your fingers. It's great at reducing the amount of ingrown hairs and leaves you with a smooth finish. This has been really helpful for the bikini line, before this razor nothing I did could not prevent ingrown hairs and razor burn. It is very easy to clean because you can take it apart which is in my opinion one of the best things about it, hairs don't get stuck and the blade can be cleaned. It comes with a handy bamboo bag to stop prevent cuts while transporting it. Its definitely better quality than the plastic razors from stores, so it will last longer.

However, I'm more likely to cut myself compared to a normal razor, particularly around areas that aren't flat like my knees and armpits so you do have to be careful using it. This hasn't bothered me too much, although there was a time where I was getting really bad cuts because I had not screwed the top part on tightly enough, once I figured that out the cuts weren't as bad. Because of this it's not great if you're in a rush, its much easier to cut yourself when you're not being careful because you're rushing.

I found that when paired with the shaving cream bar it was more likely to…
