Try a Better Shave for Around $25
Are DE Safety razors better?
Yes! It is a far superior shave to cartridge razors
And much cheaper... cheaper than the clubs, too
- One razor purchase, starting at around $20
- One selection of 15-30 blades for around $5 (20 blades will provide you with 20-70 shaves, depending on who you are)
- Closer shave
- Smoother shave - perfect for sensitive skin
- More environmentally friendly (no plastic waste + blades are recyclable)
The cheapest way to try a DE safety razor at Ab Fab is the Rockwell Rookie Butterfly Razor at $19.95 plus a selection of 4 5-packs of blades at $5.16, or around 26 cents per blade.
All of the blades we curated are of excellent quality. I priced the package with four packs of blades because it is recommended that you try a few different types of razor blades with a new razor, to see which combo works best for your skin.
The price to try a double-edged safety razor with 20 blades is therefore around $25 plus tax
Twenty blades will provide you with 20-70 shaves, depending on who you are.
You don't have to buy the soap and brush to see what you think of the razor.
Give it a go! What do you have to lose?
