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.

Read our female razor guide, an interview with a recent convert to reusable razors!

◄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.

Safety Razor

This is my first safety razor so I have no frame of reference but the design is aethetic and it feels solid. It did irritate my skin slightly but I’m not sure if that’s my fault, and it gets a closer shave and way less irritation than the disposable razors I used.

Would recommend

The razor comes in a good range of colours, and is well designed: it’s quite heavy for a relatively small razor, which makes it safer to handle.

It was also delivered quickly and comes in biodegradable packaging.

Razor

Lovely feel, quality is great. Really love my new rainbow one! Takes a bit of getting used to and you have to be a bit more careful but it's completely stopped my husbands shaving rash. I have had mine for 2 years and accidentally dropped it many a time but about a month ago I broke it. Contacted the company and they gave me a discount on a new one

My First Safety Razor

Having done lots of research etc I decided on the Jungle Culture Safety Razor & 10 blades.

I like that the razor was easy to assemble and that it has some weight to it. This is my first safety razor and it does taking some getting used to but so far so good. My only thing is that hairs are growing back the very next day and I am fair haired but still feel that the hairs coming through can be seen.
