Razors

Once upon a time, all men shaved the same way - with a straight edge safety razor or ‘cut throat’ men's safety razor. There are many more options on the market now, men are provided with a choice of shaving styles, meaning you can find the ideal safety razor that suits your individual needs.

Arguably, the easiest option is that of multi-blade or cartridge razors. Whilst this is the shaving style you’re most likely to see advertised on TV, here at The Modern Man, we favour brands that are that little bit different as we believe their innovations help deliver optimum performance. We also have a popular range of exquisite handles, which have been designed to fit some of the most widely-used cartridges. They provide a touch of class to this swift style of shaving.

We have found that more and more men are now going back to double edge or ‘DE’ shaving. It’s little wonder, because in the right hands these heavy-duty razors offer stunningly close results, giving the shaver total control over the blade. DE razors use classic, disposable razor blades, which work out far cheaper than cartridge blades. Not only that, but with a wide choice of blade, this gives the modern man more choice over what he uses, which allows him to find a blade suited to his skin type. Featuring both Single and Double Edge Safety Razors, straight or cut throat razors/shavettes for that close wet shave, and disposable refills, there's something to suit every man's needs.

A growing trend is replaceable blade cut throat razors, such as the Dovo Shavette, which combine the easy maintenance of DE shaving with the truly authentic experience of straight shaving. Styled after straight razors, cut throats use disposable razor blades, giving the same close control whilst eliminating the potential hassle of sharpening a straight-edge. This style of shaving marries the best of both worlds, for the man who knows quality when he sees it.

Our straight-edge razors have an everlasting popularity amongst the most committed shavers. These razors are for those who understand shaving to be an experience, rather than a chore. It has a strict reliance upon the shaver’s skill, control and precision. It is an elegant style of shaving, for the sophisticated gent.
