DE Razors VS Straight Razors

What is the difference between Double Edge Safety Razors and Straight Razors we hear you ask?! Which razor is better and how? Follow this guide to enlighten yourselves with some fun facts about these two different types of razors!

Double Edge Safety Razors

Double Edge Safety Razors, also known as DE razors, are shaving razors with a protective device positioned between the edge of the blade and the skin. The real purpose of these protective devices was to decrease the level of skill needed for injury less shave. This meant relying less on the professional barbers!

Straight Razors

Straight razors are the type of shaving razors with a blade which can fold into its own handle. They have a sharpened blade on one edge and a handle attached to the blade through a mechanism. They are also referred to as ‘open razors’ and ‘cut-throat razors’. Straight razor’s design is based on a variety of criteria including the grind, width, length, material and the finishing of the blade.
