Choosing Thoughtful Gifts

A double-edged safety razor is a versatile shaving tool that will provide a close shave and the option of using both sides of the razor when doing so. The barrel body, blades, and the number of pieces that a safety razor contains should be closely assessed when shopping for this type of shaving gear.

Safety Razors

Many safety razor products that are on the market today come with double-edged blades. A blade can be accessed by gripping the razor's handle along either side. The functionality of the shaving tool will aid with creating intricate beard-shaving patterns or maintaining comfort while attempting to achieve a close shave. 

If you have been wasting a lot of money on disposable razors that haven't given you the smooth and silky shave you have been desiring, tossing these razor products in the trash and investing in a safety razor product may be your preference. A safety razor is an investment. Once you acquire ownership of one, you will have access to a shaving tool that can be used for years. No longer will you be wasting money on disposable products. The cost savings may become evident fairly quickly.

Product Types

Safety razors may be constructed of metal and contain prints or colors that may appeal to a particular consumer. This type of razor product can be used by males and females. When shopping around for a new shaving tool, assess the barrel body and the manner in which the blades are designed to be installed. Many manufacturers market safety razors as wet shaving products. This is the type of tool that can be used with shaving cream, shaving gel, or water.

A gripped handle that contains notches or a textured surface will prevent a safety razor from slipping out of your hand while you are using it. A safety razor may contain one or more pieces. A single-unit style will contain a handle and razor attachment that is designed to remain intact. A razor that contains multiple pieces can be unassembled when the shaving tool will be stored or transported.

A product that contains multiple pieces may be designed to screw or snap together. Some safety razor shaving products may come with replacement double-sided blades. Assessing the blade count that comes with a product and reviewing how the blades need to be replaced and stored will get you accustomed to the new shaving gear that you decide to purchase.
