Well Kept Safety Razor

Disposable plastic razors. Did you know, on average, one person may dispose of over 96 razors in their lifetime? On a global scale, that’s billions of plastic razors being sent to landfill every single year. (I think as a teenager, I used that many!)

Size: 4" X 1.

When cared for properly, our brass safety razor will last a lifetime. It works with plastic-free, stainless steel razor blades that can be recycled.

HOW TO SET-UP YOUR SAFETY RAZOR
Your razor is made up of three parts and you’ll add the blade to make it four. Handling your razor is easier with dry hands so we recommend setting it up before you hop in the shower or bath.

1. Hold the handle of your razor in one hand and grip the head in the other, pinching down from top to bottom. Unscrew the handle and gently lay all the parts down.

2. If you’re changing blades, this is a good time to give everything a good rinse in some soapy water.

3. Pick up the blade, taking care not to touch the sharp edges, then pop it onto the top piece, lining up the holes in the razor with the spokes on the head.

4. Gently lay the flat head piece on top with the spacer ridges touching the blade—if you place it the wrong way, the blade won’t reach your skin and won’t cut your hair.

5. Hold the head steady by pinching the top and bottom, avoiding the sharp blade edges, and then screw the handle back on.

6. Enjoy your best shave ever!

We recommend switching blades after every 5-8 shaves. Watch the company's step-by-step video on replacing your blade. Take extra care and be super mindful while changing blades. Remember: dry hands, ridges to the blade, and don't touch those sharp edges.

END OF PRODUCT LIFE
Safety blades don’t glide as easy when they need to be replaced, so you can always feel when it’s time for a new one. Collect used blades in a secure container with a lid. (We also sell the Blade Bank from this company!) Then recycle.

Well Kept was co-founded by Canadian entrepreneurs, Natalie and Emilie. Their story starts like many others – a desire for a product that they just couldn’t find. In their search for a more sustainable and enjoyable shaving experience, they discovered many other facets of wellbeing that weren’t just bad for your skin, but harmful for the earth, too. The Well Kept Safety Razor was born.
