Safety Razor – Eco Collective

Safety razors look sleek and leave you silky smooth. The elegant design makes loading individual razor blades a breeze, and this product is made to last a lifetime. It’s unisex, easy to travel with, and reusable. It’ll also help save you money— a pack of 10 replacement blades are only $2.25!

The Shaving Starter Pack comes with 10 replacement blades, a shaving gel bar, and a soap tin for storage.  

Use & Care 

To insert a new blade, untwist the top of the razor head, gripping the sides to avoid touching the long sides of the blade. Separate the razor parts, and place the new blade between the two parts of the razor head, allowing the metal posts to keep it in place.

When shaving, start with the razor head flat against the skin, then position at a 30 degree angle, allowing the weight of the razor itself to guide you (no need to press down the head of the razor like you might with a disposable razor). 

For best results, use shaving soap. When you follow these tips, you’ll have a cleaner, safer shave!

End of Life

The safety razor should last a lifetime if you take care of it properly.

Replacement blades can be sharpened with denim and eventually recycled.

We recommend collecting used blades in a closed metal container for safety since they are sharp and could be hazardous to you or anyone else handling them on their way to be recycled. Blades fit well in our 2 oz screw top tin, or you can use something you have at home.

To recycle the blades, we have a few suggestions…

  1. An easy catch-all option is to ship them to Albatross Designs (PO Box 2254 Berkeley, CA 94702), a company that recycles used razor blades – just be sure to double-envelope them or ship the closed tin of blades so they don’t cut through the envelope.

  2. You can also check with your local recycling collection service to ask if it’s alright to put the closed container of blades directly in the recycling bin. Some are okay with it, and others aren’t!

  3. Another option is to take your tin of blades directly to a nearby scrap metal recycler.
