How to Choose the Perfect Razor

At Shash For Men, we know that no two men are exactly alike. We’ve developed four different razors to ensure there’s one perfectly suited to your lifestyle. Not sure which is right for you? Our easy-to-follow guide teaches you everything you need to know.

Designed with a flat bar beneath the blade, closed comb razors are the go-to for wet shaving. The bar keeps skin tight as the blade passes over, giving it a smooth, even surface for a more consistent cut. The result is a close, clean shave with minimal risk of nicks and irritation. Compatible with a wide range of soaps and creams, it’s as versatile as it is reliable.

A tried and true favorite, closed comb razors are great for wet shavers of all experience levels. So long as you follow proper technique, you get dependable results with minimal irritation.

As the name implies, open comb razors have an open row of teeth under the blade. Not only does this give the blade easier access to facial hair for a closer shave, it also prevents clogging. Likewise, it keeps more shaving cream on your skin, offering better lubrication and protection. Overall, you’ll need fewer passes, which can help reduce irritation.

A more aggressive shave means a higher risk of nicks and cuts. Open comb razors are perfect for guys who are experienced with safety razors and don’t mind taking the time to be more cautious.

While standard open and closed comb razors are made of two pieces, butterfly razors are just one mechanical unit. When you twist the handle, the wings of the head open and allow you to change the blade. Offering convenience and ease of use, you don’t have to worry about any loose parts of the razor getting lost down the drain.

If you like to keep things simple, opt for a butterfly razor. As one single unit, there’s less to keep track of. Just be sure not to over-tighten the handle when the blade is in place.

Cartridge razors are all about convenience. Designed with a 5-blade shaving surface and a moisture strip, Gillette Fusion cartridges allow you shave quickly with minimal risk of cuts or nicks. They’re compatible with shaving creams and gels straight from the can, and you can replace the blade in a matter of seconds.

If you want a fast, reliable and consistent shave with minimal effort, this is the way to go. It’s also a more travel-friendly alternative when compared to traditional safety razors.

All our razors are made with chrome to resist rust and corrosion. But a little cleaning can go a long way to maintain quality and shine. To get started, simply disassemble your razor. Wash each piece in warm, soapy water. Be careful not to drop anything down the drain. Dry each component and reassemble your razor.

Whether you’re using cartridges or double edge blades, don’t attempt to clean and use them beyond their intended lifespan.

Ultimately, the best razor is the one you feel most comfortable using. But when you shop with Shash For Men, you can rest assured you’ll receive a sophisticated, ergonomically designed product regardless of which style you choose. Let’s recap:

• Closed Comb Razor: Best for everyday wet shavers who want close, clean results
