FAQs about Women's Razors
How do you shave properly with a safety razor?
To shave properly with a safety razor, start by softening your skin with warm water and shaving cream. Hold the razor at a 30-degree angle and let the weight of it glide over your skin - no need to press. Use short strokes with the grain, rinse the blade often, and re-lather if you fancy going against the grain for a closer finish. Patience pays off. A safety razor offers a smoother shave with less irritation once you get the knack.
Can you take a safety razor in your hand luggage on a plane?
No, you can’t bring a safety razor blade in your hand luggage, but the razor handle itself is fine. Blades are considered sharp items and must go in checked luggage. If you’re travelling hand-luggage only, your best bet is to pick up blades at your destination. Frustrating, yes - but rules are rules.
How often should you change the blade in a safety razor?
You should change the blade in your safety razor every 5–10 shaves, depending on your hair type and how often you shave. Thick or coarse hair may mean more frequent swaps. A blunt blade can cause nicks and sneaky razor burn, so many regular shavers switch weekly to keep things smooth.
Which women’s razors are truly buy-it-for-life?
The most reliable buy-it-for-life women’s razors are made from tough metals like stainless steel or brass, with zero plastic parts to crack or split. Look for models with lifetime guarantees and spare parts. With routine maintenance, these classic razors can last decades - certainly longer than any bright pink plastic one.
How do you safely clean and care for a women's safety razor?
To keep your razor in top nick, rinse it after each shave and let it dry fully before putting it back together. Once a month, give it a deeper clean using warm water and an old toothbrush to remove soap build-up. This helps prevent rust and keeps it shaving smoothly.

Is a safety razor better for sensitive skin than disposable ones?
Yes, a safety razor is usually better for sensitive skin than disposable ones. It uses just one sharp blade, so there's less dragging and fewer irritation risks. When paired with a good shaving cream and light touch, it can keep rashes and ingrown hairs to a minimum. Slow and steady wins the shave.
Where can you buy replacement blades for a women’s safety razor?
You can find replacement blades for a women’s safety razor at chemists, specialist shaving shops, or online. They’re standard double-edged blades, so they fit all traditional safety razors - no faffing with brand-specific refills. Sold in packs and easily recycled, they’re refreshingly low waste and good value.
