Inspired by the original iconic razor launched by King Camp Gillette in 1901, this safety razor features a specially optimised razor handle and double-edged blades for a close, smooth shave on the areas around your beard and moustache.

A safety razor is designed to deliver a close, clean shave with a sharp blade, but while keeping your skin - and your fingers - safe. Safety razors comes with a protective device in between the edge of the blade and the skin, helping to reduce the risk of shaving cuts and other shaving irritation.

The King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor is the perfect choice for men who appreciate a touch of heritage, but want to create a modern, sharp look; that's why we've brought it back - the growing trend for statement beards has seen increased demand for double edge safety razors, with many men turning to them for their simplicity and relevance.

Directions

How to Use a Double Edge Safety Razor

Prepare your face for shaving by washing your facial hair using the King C. Gillette Beard & Face Wash, before lubricating your face with the King C. Gillette Transparent Shave Gel
Shave with the grain (the same direction that your hair grows in), using short razor strokes, positioning the safety razor at a 30° angle for maximum precision.

When to Use a Safety Razor

Our King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor can be used every time you shave - just remember to regularly change your razor blades. Fresh, sharp blades are less likely to cause shaving cuts - dull or damaged blades come with a greater risk of nicks. King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Blades are the recommended replacement razor blades for our Double Edge Safety Razor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many times can I shave with the King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor blade?

This is one of those questions that will have a different answer depending on your shaving habits and the type of hair you are shaving. To get a close shave, you should always replace your King C. Gillette double edge safety razor when it has become dull or damaged. Otherwise, you are more likely to end up suffering from nicks and cuts. Note that because the double edge safety razor blade has two cutting edges, not one, they can, in principle, be used twice. Consequently, our double edge safety razors provide exceptional value for money. To get the best out of your King C. Gillette double edge safety razor, always ensure you use it when there is plenty of shaving gel or foam applied to your face.

What body parts can I shave with the King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor?

The double-edged blades of the Gillette double edge safety razor are designed for a close, smooth and precise shave on the areas around your beard and moustache. In other words, shaving with double edge safety razors in the King C. Gillette range really means shaving facial hair only. Of course, there is nothing to stop you from using the simple design of these platinum-coated blades on other parts of your body, but Gillette manufactures numerous other body shavers, trimmers and groomers that are designed for parts of the body other than facial hair.

Can the King C. Gillette Double Edge Safety Razor be used for beard styling?

Yes, like many of the other high-quality razor blades available from within the King C. Gillette range, our double edge safety razor blade is ideal for beard styling.
