Double Edge Safety Razor with Bamboo Handle

Quick answer: this safety razor is a double edge razor with a bamboo handle and a chrome-finish metal head and base. It is 13.2cm long and takes standard double edge blades, which are sold separately.

What the bamboo safety razor is

The bamboo safety razor is a traditional double edge razor. The supplier lists a bamboo handle with stainless steel parts, and the photo shows a grained bamboo handle between a chrome-finish head and base. The head has a toothed, open-comb edge in the photo. You load one double edge blade into it.

Size of the double edge razor

The razor measures 13.2cm long, with a head 4.3cm wide (supplier figures). That length suits a full grip. For an all-metal handle, see the gunmetal double edge razor.

Blades and what to buy with it

The razor comes on its own, with no blades listed in the box. Double edge blades are sold in packs and are the only part you replace. A shaving brush and soap suit it if you want a full wet-shave routine. Double edge blades are sharp on both long edges, so hold them by the short ends when loading, and keep the razor and spare blades out of reach of children.

Who the safety razor suits

The safety razor suits anyone moving from cartridge razors to a single-blade wet shave. It also works as a gift for men under £50, alongside a leather wash bag or a pair of cufflinks.

Care for the bamboo handle

Rinse the head after each shave and dry the whole razor before putting it away. Keep the bamboo handle out of standing water, because wood can swell or mark if it stays wet.
