What is a safety razor?
Zhuzhijiang Product Page
Traditional safety razors were invented around the ’s, but popularised by Gillette in the early s when they were first issued to the US army. Our double edged reusable razors have removable heads and use razor blades which are replaceable and completely plastic free. They act as a perfect zero waste swap for disposable razors and cartridges which are a large contributor of plastic waste worldwide.
Can I recycle safety razor blades?
You certainly can. Safety razors are an eco-friendly equivalent to plastic and all blades can be recycled. To recycle your razor blades responsibly, wipe them with a wet cloth and place them in to a metal recycling bin. You can either send us your old blades for us to recycle them for you - please get in touch via the contact form for more information.
Do all safety razor blades fit all safety razors?
Unfortunately they do not. There are many different types of reusable safety razors on the market today. Our razors are double edged and are only compatible with double edge razor blades.
Are Safety Razors good for sensitive skin?
Using a safety razor will give you a close and clean shave, whilst avoiding skin irritation. In order to further reduce the chance of razor burn, we recommend using your zero waste razor in conjunction with a quality shaving balm or natural soap / foam.
Have you ever wondered how to shave with a safety razor? Our zero waste bamboo razors are simple to use and after 1 or 2 attempts you will have mastered your brand new eco razor like a pro! Before shaving, apply warm water and shaving soap/balm to the area to be shaved, whilst your safety razor soaks in warm water.
Once you are ready, tilt your safety razor at a 45 degree angle and pull it gently over the skin allowing the weight of the razor to do the work. Ensure that you avoid any diagonal movements, or any quick swipes up and down.
After a few strokes, rinse your unisex razor with warm water to avoid a build up of hair and once you have finished shaving, ensure that you thoroughly wipe your razor dry with a tissue or a cloth. This will ensure that rust doesn’t build up on the razor blade.
Once finished, store your eco friendly razor neatly in the hessian bag provided.

Every year, around 3 billion trees are cut down just to make packaging, most of which used once, then tossed. Add layers of plastic wrap, tape, and filler, and you've got a shipping system that’s wrecking forests and choking oceans.
At Bamboo Switch, we ship completely plastic free—no bubble wrap, no plastic tape. We reuse clean boxes, recycle the rest, and skip the flashy (wasteful) extras. Your order might show up in a gently worn box, but what’s inside is brand new and part of a better way to ship!
