Hair removal

Over 2 billion disposable plastic razors are thrown out each year in the U.S. alone.  A safety razor is a fantastic alternative to disposable razors, and this one can last you a lifetime.  This attractive stainless steel razor is appropriate for all your shaving needs, regardless of your gender.

As women, we got sick of paying more for our razors just because they’re pink and come with fancy features (that we were never quite convinced were necessary). We bring you this sleek alternative. It’s unisex, easy to travel with, and reusable for a lifetime. Blades are just $2.25 for a set of 10!

Use and care

Allow the weight of the razor to guide you; never press down with the razor head or drag it across your skin like you might with a disposable razor. Use a shaving soap for best results.  When you follow these tips, you'll have a cleaner, safer shave. To travel, simply remove the blade. Dry off the razor after each use and replace the blade when it becomes dull; Bea Johnson says her sons take the razor head apart to let the blade dry after every shave, and the blades last them for an impressive 6 months!

Materials

Stainless steel.

Packaging

None. Blades come wrapped in paper.

Origin

Manufactured in China through an environmentally conscious factory.

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.

Dulse & Rugosa’s Shaving Bar is perfect for a smooth, close shave. It creates a wonderfully thick lather and is packed full of moisturizing oils to leave your skin ultra-smooth. The soap base is two types of seaweed (oarweed, and kelp) which are nourishing and all natural.

As a bar soap, it's easy to toss in one of our soap tins and take with you to the gym, tuck in your suitcase, or bring on your next your camping trip.

Use and care

Lather like a bar of soap, and spread as you would shaving cream, or swirl a shaving brush over the top to load and apply with a brush. Pairs perfectly with our safety razors. Every now and then, store puck with the tin open or in a dry area so it can dry. 

Size

Approx. 3 oz.

Dulse & Rugosa is a mother and daughter business in Gotts Island, Maine. Their ingredients start on their small farm or growing along the rocky shores of the island. They handpick each flower, leaf, and piece of seaweed and then solar dry them. Using the dried seaweeds and botanicals, they then handcraft each of the soaps, lotions, scrubs, and oils with love and care.

End of life

Use the bar until completely gone.
