Closer Shaves, Less Razor Burn

Safety razors give an incredibly close shave, but without the irritation and razor burn from a cartridge razor. A single blade will glide micrometers above the skin with little or no pressure on the face. Multiple blades just rub against the skin. Granted, a safety razor takes a few more ...

    How Does the RetroRazor Work?


    Just twist to open and insert a new blade!
    Shave in multiple passes – with the grain, and across the grain to start with.
    When you get more experienced, you can go against the grain for an even closer shave!

    It takes a bit longer to shave with a safety razor, but with time, it becomes second nature.
    I am the first to admit that I still keep my cartridge razor handy, for a dirty shave – but it gives me no joy!

    Highest quality shave with a Safety Razor

    Classic Safety Razors, such as the RetroRazor, have one blade that glides micrometers above the skin. The shave is simply amazing – without the irritation and stubble that you get from multiple blades. More blades lead to drag and irritate.

    And possibility of nicks and cuts? It’s the same as a normal razor, in our experience, very rare…it is called a Safety Razor for a reason!

    This is where it gets good!

    Our complete Safety Razor starter kits, which includes fifteen replacement blades (2-3 months worth) costs less than $40. Every subsequent year you pay for the cheap replacement blades.

    In an economy like ours, every last dime counts, and moving to a safety razor can save you and your family significant money. This is technology from the Great Depression – but with 21st century blades.

    Reduce Waste by 97% with the RetroRazor

    According to the EPA, two billion disposable razors are landfilled annually. 2,000,000,000.

    Double edge blades are incredibly resource efficient it is just a single strip of metal!

    Safety Razor razor blades have minimal packaging and plastic waste. Double Edge blades are wrapped in a small piece of waxed paper, and in a small container the size of a matchbox. Even with the packaging, they have 97% less material than disposables.

    Wrap used blades tightly in paper and dispose with your household garbage – please don’t recycle.

    Batteries found in the Fusion and the expensive Electrics are hazardous to the environment.

    There are three key factors in RetroRazor shaving:

    Handle:

    The RetroRazor Weishi is modeled after the Gillette Super Speed Twist to Open razor. Considered one the finest Double Edge Safety Razors made, production only lasted from 1940 to 1970.

    It is an excellent starter razor: a hefty, well balanced razor handle with a small blade gap to give a close shave while minimizing nicks and irritation.

    Forged from a Copper alloy and Chrome, the RetroRazor will give years of close shaving.

    Blades:

    Unlike multiblade cartridges that can irritate and cause ingrown hair, the single edge safety razor cleanly slices through the hair shaft like a samurai sword. Platinum and teflon coating the surgical stainless steel give the closest shave possible with less irritation. Different blades have different characteristics: there is no such thing as the ‘perfect’ or ‘best’ blade.

    RetroRazor starter kits include a sample pack of different blades, so that you can customize your shave. Currently, our safety razor starter kits include five each of Derby Extra from Turkey, Dorco from Korea, and Personna from Israel. Once you discover your own ‘Best Blade’, buy them in bulk to save a ton of money!

    Brush and Lather:

    Preparing your face (or legs) for shaving is the third crucial element, and one that is open to experimentation and personal preference. Some prefer shaving creams over shaving soaps; There are debates about synthetic brushes to natural badger or boar due to concerns about cruelty. Potions and Lotions abound, and it is all your choice – Even a $2 puck of Williams Mug Soap will do you good!

    However, it is vital that you prepare your skin with adequate emollients prior to shaving.
