Better Shave
A Smoother Shave with a Double Edge Safety Razor
Discover how comfortable shaving can feel with a double edged safety razor. A single blade razor cuts each hair cleanly at skin level, giving you a closer, smoother finish without the tugging that often comes with multi-blade cartridges. The blade glides gently over your skin, preventing the harsh scraping sensation.
The Bambaw safety razor is designed with carefully optimised blade exposure, so the blade meets the skin evenly, helping you shave with confidence and control. Its balanced head and handle guide the razor naturally with minimal pressure.
Skin Benefits
Your Skin Feels Better with a Single Blade Razor
With one clean cut per hair, your skin needs fewer passes, which helps reduce:
Over time, your skin responds with a calmer and softer finish.
Cartridge razors work differently. Their 3–5 blades drag across the skin and lift the hair before cutting it, often below the surface. This can disrupt the skin barrier and is a common cause of razor burn and ingrown hairs. A double edged safety razor avoids this extra strain, making your daily shave gentler.

A metal razor is easier to use than you might expect. The closed-comb guard offers comfort and protection for beginners, while the movement feels familiar:
Your reusable razor arrives with five blades so you can begin straight away, plus a complete digital user manual that walks you through blade changes, shaving techniques and care tips. Everything is there to help you feel confident from the very first shave.

A Razor Head Designed for a Smooth and Safe Shave
The razor head is made from high-quality zinc alloy, chosen for its strength and natural resistance to corrosion. This solidity helps the blade stay securely positioned for a smooth and controlled shave.
Its gentle closed-comb design adds protection while still allowing a close finish. Free from lead, cadmium and harmful coatings, the head supports a healthier routine for your skin.
Unlike plastic razors with "hydrating strips", it doesn't contain endocrine-disrupting additives. Your skin is better cared for with a simple, natural lather.
A Stainless Steel Handle for a Steady Grip
The handle is made from stainless steel, valued for its purity, durability and resistance to rust. The weight distribution supports an easy, steady glide.
Fully recyclable at the end of its long life, stainless steel makes this handle both dependable and mindful, built to support years of clear-cut shaving.
I'm nervous about cutting myself. How safe is a safety razor?
It's completely normal to feel nervous the first time you use a single blade razor, and the reassuring news is that it's safer than what most people expect. The Bambaw safety razor uses a closed-comb guard and controlled blade exposure, providing continuous contact with the skin and helping prevent nicks. Because a double edged safety razor works with its own weight, you don't press down, this gives you more control and keeps the skin irritation-free. Simply hold a light 30° angle and use short, relaxed strokes. Your razor comes with an easy to follow digital guide to help you feel confident from your first shave.
How do you use a safety razor?
Using a single blade razor follows a slower, kinder rhythm and works the same whether you're shaving your face, legs, underarms or bikini area. It replaces both a traditional men's razor and a women's razor with one simple tool.
- Prep your skin: Soften hair with warm water and build a rich lather. A shaving bar makes the blade glide smoothly.
- Use the right technique: Hold a 30° angle, use no pressure, and shave in the direction your hair grows using short strokes.
- Replace dull blades: If it tugs, change the blade for the safest, smoothest result.
- Soothe afterward: Rinse with cool water and moisturise.
Once the technique clicks, it becomes intuitive. Your double edged safety razor includes a detailed user manual to simplify every step.
Should you exfoliate before or after shaving with a safety razor?
Exfoliate before shaving. It lifts the hair, removes dead skin cells and creates an even surface, helping your safety razor glide with ease. This simple step also keeps pores clear and reduces the chance of clogged follicles, ingrown hairs and bumps.
For an effortless routine, the Bambaw shaving bar and brush offer gentle exfoliation as you lather.
How can I prevent ingrown hairs?
Ingrown hairs form when hair curls back into the skin. They're often caused by multi-blade razors that tug, lift and cut hair below the surface, making it easier for hair to get trapped.
A single blade razor helps prevent this. With just one sharp blade cutting cleanly at skin level, there's no pulling or scraping. This simple change often results in fewer bumps, less irritation and smoother regrowth.
For best results:
- Exfoliate regularly
- Soften skin with warm water
- Use a rich protective lather
- Shave with the grain using light pressure
- Moisturise afterward
Paired with our shaving bar and brush, your metal razor helps keep skin clearer, smoother and less prone to bumps.
How can you get rid of shaving bumps and rash?
Shaving bumps often come from friction or multi-blade razors tugging at the skin.
- For quick relief: rinse with cold water and use a soothing, fragrance-free moisturiser.
- For long-term comfort, switch to a single blade razor, exfoliate before shaving, hydrate the skin and shave with light pressure.
A Bambaw safety razor combined with shaving bar and a brush helps calm the skin and reduce bumps over time.
How do you shave pubic hair?
A double edged safety razor works well on delicate areas with a slow, gentle approach:
- Soften the area with warm water and trim longer hairs
- Create a rich lather
- Shave with light pressure and short strokes
- Move with the grain to reduce irritation
- Rinse, pat dry and moisturise
A reusable razor with a single blade often leads to fewer bumps and less irritation in sensitive zones.
Which brand of safety razor blades should I use with my Bambaw razor?
Every Bambaw safety razor fits all standard double edged safety razor blades.
That said, our razor head is specifically engineered around the dimensions and sharpness of our Bambaw blades, ensuring ideal blade exposure and the smooth, close shave it's designed for.
Bambaw's Swedish stainless steel blades are platinum-coated for lasting sharpness and consistency. Each blade lasts around 5–10 shaves and can be recycled as metal when collected safely.
Note for UK customers:
Due to regulations, we cannot ship blade refills to the UK. However, your razor remains fully compatible with the many standard double-edge blades available in local shops and online.
What is the Bambaw safety razor made of?
- Razor head: corrosion-resistant zinc alloy for stable, controlled blade exposure
- Handle: solid stainless steel for durability, balance and a secure grip
Both materials are skin-safe, free from harmful coatings and fully recyclable. Built entirely from metal, your Bambaw safety razor is designed to last for years.
How does using a Bambaw safety razor help reduce plastic waste?
Plastic razors and cartridges mix multiple materials, meaning they usually can't be recycled and end up in landfills or incineration.
Its Swedish steel blades are fully recyclable when collected safely, and the packaging is plastic-free.
A simple swap for long-lasting impact.
Can you take a safety razor on an airplane?
You can bring the razor handle in your carry-on, but double-edge blades aren't allowed in hand luggage and must be packed in checked baggage.
For easy travel, detach the handle and store your blades in a secure case or blade bank. Most travellers fly with a safety razor without any issues, and a small protective pouch can help keep everything organised on the go.
