Desesh — Metal Safety Razor, Unisex (With 5 Platinum Coated Blades)

One metal razor, one blade at a time, no plastic cartridges ever again.

A weighted stainless steel safety razor that takes standard double-edge blades. A single blade gives a closer, more comfortable shave than a multi-blade cartridge because it cuts the hair once instead of tugging it three times, which is why people with razor burn and ingrown hairs tend to switch and not go back.

Replacement blades cost pennies each instead of dollars, and the only thing that ever gets thrown away is a small piece of steel. The razor itself lasts for years.

Who this is for

• You get razor burn or bumps from cartridge razors
• You are tired of paying for cartridges
• You want plastic out of the bathroom
• You shave legs, face or head; it is unisex and works on all of them

How to use

Twist the head open, set a blade in, close and tighten. Use light pressure and short strokes with the grain, with a lathered shave soap. Each blade lasts 5 to 10 shaves; the five included platinum-coated blades cover roughly 6 to 12 months. To dispose of a blade, slip it into an empty metal can headed for recycling. Comes in a plastic-free cardboard box.

Desesh is a small plastic-free personal care brand based in Honolulu that ships everything in paper and cardboard only.
