Best Safety Razors for a Close, Comfortable Shave

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. This post may contain affiliate links at no extra cost to you.

The Bambaw Double Edge Safety Razor is the best overall safety razor for most people: it is a complete metal-handled razor that ships with five blades, and its standard-length handle and closed-comb head sit in the mild-to-medium range that suits a first-time double-edge shaver as well as someone moving down from cartridges. If entry cost is the deciding factor, the KEROPY Safety Razor for Men is the budget pick; if you want more mass in the hand and a fitted case, the VIKINGS BLADE double edge razor is the premium step up. Everything below is organised around the four variables that actually change how a safety razor feels — weight, handle length, head geometry and blade exposure — plus the blades themselves, because blade choice alters the shave as much as the razor does. The Astra Platinum 100-pack is the value benchmark, the Feather 50-count is the sharpness benchmark, and the King C. Gillette 100-count sits between the two. One entry here, the Gillette Sensor3 Sensitive disposable, is a cartridge razor rather than a true safety razor; it is included because it is the sensible option for travel and for anyone who does not want to handle loose blades.

Top 3 Picks

Best overall: Bambaw Double Edge Safety Razor. A complete, eco-positioned metal razor with five blades in the box, a standard-length handle and a closed-comb head that is forgiving enough for a first shave but precise enough to keep. It is the least complicated way to own a proper safety razor without buying the razor and the blades separately.

Best budget: KEROPY Safety Razor for Men. The lowest-cost route into double-edge shaving, which matters because most people quit a new razor type in the first month — and a budget razor plus a cheap blade pack is the least expensive way to find out whether you actually prefer it.

Best premium: VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor. A heavier, chrome-finished razor supplied with five blades and a luxury case, aimed at shavers who want the razor to do more of the work through its own mass and who want something that packs properly for travel.

Quick Comparison

The table below covers every product in this guide. “Weight class” and “handle class” use the category bands explained in the buying section: light is under 60 g, medium 60–90 g, heavy 90–120 g; short handles run 75–85 mm, standard 85–100 mm, long 100–115 mm. Price tiers describe where a product sits in the market, not a fixed figure, because listing prices move constantly.

How We Chose

Selection here is research-based rather than hands-on. Each entry was judged on published specification classes — blade gap band, blade exposure direction, weight class, handle length class, head type (closed comb, open comb, or twist-to-open), body material and plating, and the number and coating of blades supplied — and then filtered through category fit. A razor with no published geometry is still useful, but it gets described by the class it belongs to rather than by numbers the manufacturer has not confirmed, which is why some rows above read as “medium weight class” instead of a gram figure.

The second filter was the shape of the range as a whole. A buying guide that lists twelve products all aimed at the same shaver is not a guide, so the list deliberately spans three entry points — razor-only, razor-plus-blades, and blades-only — and three experience levels, from someone who has never loaded a double-edge blade to someone shopping purely for a sharper blade to put in a razor they already own. The third filter was upgrade path: a product earns a place if it still makes sense two years later, either because it uses the universal double-edge blade format (43 x 22 mm, roughly 0.10 mm thick) or because it fills a role no other item covers, such as travel or a disposable fallback. Consumable economics were weighed as well: blades are the only recurring cost in this category, so blade packs were compared on cost per shave rather than on sticker price, and razors were compared on what fails first — the thread, the plating, or the twist mechanism.

1. Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades – Best for Blades in Bulk

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

The Astra Platinum 100-pack is the blade to buy if you have already settled on a razor and now want the recurring cost to disappear. It is a blades-only product: 100 double-edge blades split into 20 tucks of five, each tuck individually wrapped, which means you can keep a five-blade sleeve in a dopp kit and leave the rest at home. For a shaver who goes through a blade every four to seven shaves, that is somewhere between one and two years of shaving from a single purchase.

The blades are platinum-coated stainless steel in the standard double-edge format — 43 mm across, 22 mm deep, roughly 0.10 mm thick — so they fit every three-piece razor and every twist-to-open razor in this guide without exception. The platinum coating is the reason this blade feels smoother than a bare stainless edge of similar sharpness: the coating reduces the friction of the first stroke, which is when most irritation happens, because that is when the blade is cutting the most hair per millimetre of edge.

Sharpness is where Astra sits deliberately in the middle. In enthusiast terms it is a mild-to-medium blade: it will cut a normal beard cleanly in two passes, but it will not punish a hesitant angle the way a high-sharpness blade does. That forgiving quality is why it is so often recommended as a first blade, and it is also why shavers with dense, wiry beards eventually move on to something sharper.

Key specs

• Format: double-edge blades only, 100 count, 20 tucks of 5
• Material: platinum-coated stainless steel
• Dimensions: standard DE, 43 x 22 mm, approximately 0.10 mm thick
• Sharpness class: mild to medium
• Compatibility: every standard DE razor, including all razors in this guide
• Price tier: budget

Strengths

The economics are the headline. Because blades are the only consumable in double-edge shaving, buying 100 at once converts a per-shave cost that is measured in fractions of a cent into a purchase you make roughly once a year. The five-blade tucks are also the most practical packaging format in the category: small enough to travel, sealed enough that a used blade can be re-wrapped and disposed of safely.

The second strength is compatibility. Because the double-edge format is standardised, these blades work in a budget KEROPY razor, a mid-range BAILI twist-to-open, and a premium Vikings Blade or Wilkinson Sword handle equally well. That makes this pack a low-risk purchase even if you change razors later.

Pros

• 100 blades in resealable tucks of five — roughly a year or more of shaving
• Platinum coating improves first-stroke glide
• Forgiving sharpness level suits beginners and daily shavers
• Universal fit with every standard double-edge razor

Cons

• Blades only — no razor, despite “Safety Razor” appearing in the product name
• Not sharp enough for some dense or coarse beards
• Individually wrapped blades generate paper waste, which sits awkwardly against eco-focused alternatives

How it compares

Against the Feather 50-count, Astra trades peak sharpness for forgiveness and roughly halves the cost per blade. Against the King C. Gillette 100-count, the counts are identical but Astra generally lands at a lower price tier, while the King C. Gillette blades carry an anti-friction coating aimed at glide rather than at edge durability. If you are unsure which camp you fall into, buy a small pack of each before committing to 100 of anything.

2. Bambaw Double Edge Safety Razor – Best Overall for a Complete First Setup

The Bambaw razor is the best overall pick because it removes the two most common reasons a first safety razor purchase goes wrong: buying a razor with no blades in the box, and buying a razor whose handle is too short or too light for the hand holding it. Bambaw supplies the razor and five double-edge blades together, in plastic-free packaging, which is consistent with the brand’s eco-positioning and means the razor is usable the day it arrives.

The head is a closed-comb design — a solid safety bar rather than open teeth — which is the correct choice for most shavers, because the bar stretches skin slightly ahead of the edge and reduces the chance of catching a nick. The handle sits in the standard length class, roughly 85 to 100 mm, and the assembled razor falls into the medium weight class of 60 to 90 g. That combination is the sweet spot the category keeps returning to: heavy enough that the razor’s own mass supplies the cutting pressure, light enough that you can still steer it around the jawline and under the nose.

Key specs

• Type: complete double-edge safety razor with 5 blades included
• Head: closed comb (solid safety bar)
• Handle: metal, standard length class (approximately 85–100 mm)
• Weight: medium class (approximately 60–90 g assembled)
• Blade format: standard double-edge, 43 x 22 mm
• Positioning: marketed for men and women; plastic-free packaging per listing
• Price tier: premium

Strengths

The single biggest advantage is that nothing else needs buying. A complete razor plus five blades covers roughly three to five weeks of daily shaving before you need to think about a blade pack, and by then you will know whether you want a mild blade like Astra or something sharper like Feather. That delay is genuinely useful, because blade preference is personal and cannot be predicted from a description.

The second advantage is the gender-neutral, eco-focused positioning. A closed-comb head with a standard-length handle works for legs and underarms as well as faces, and the plastic-free packaging claim matters if the reason you are leaving cartridge razors is the waste stream rather than the cost. Metal construction also means the razor itself is not a consumable in the way a disposable is; the blades are, and they are recyclable metal rather than mixed plastic.

The third advantage is simplicity of maintenance. A closed-comb head with a solid bar is the easiest geometry to rinse, because there are no comb teeth for lather to pack into.

Pros

• Razor and five blades in one purchase — usable immediately
• Closed-comb head is forgiving and easy to rinse
• Standard-length, medium-weight handle suits most hand sizes
• Plastic-free packaging per the listing; gender-neutral design
• Uses universal double-edge blades, so refills are cheap and widely available

Cons

• Premium price tier for a razor in the chrome-plated zinc-alloy construction class
• The listing does not publish blade gap or blade exposure figures, so you are buying on category reputation rather than on geometry
• Five blades is a small starting quantity if you shave daily

How it compares

Against the KEROPY Safety Razor for Men, the Bambaw costs more but arrives complete and with a more clearly specified eco story; the KEROPY is the cheaper experiment. Against the VIKINGS BLADE set, the Bambaw is lighter and simpler, while the Vikings Blade adds a heavier handle and a fitted case. If you want the lightest possible learning curve on blade loading, the BAILI butterfly razor is easier to open, but the Bambaw’s three-piece-style simplicity means fewer moving parts to wear out.

3. KEROPY 50 Safety Razor Blades – Best for a Low-Commitment Blade Top-Up

The KEROPY 50-pack is the blade purchase for someone who wants to try double-edge shaving without committing a year of storage space to it. Fifty blades is roughly six months of daily shaving at a blade change every three to four days, or closer to a year for a lighter beard or a shaver who shaves every other day. In the budget tier, that is the right quantity for a first-time buyer: enough to establish whether you like the format, not so many that a bad batch becomes a long-term problem.

Like every double-edge blade in this guide, the KEROPY blades conform to the standard 43 x 22 mm format with a centre slot, which means they fit any three-piece or twist-to-open safety razor. The listing does not name a coating, so the sensible assumption is a plain stainless edge rather than a platinum- or polymer-coated one. That is not automatically a downside — coatings mainly affect the smoothness of the first pass and the consistency of the edge over several shaves — but it does mean you should expect a slightly less cushioned feel than the coated blades here, and you should replace the blade a little sooner if you notice tugging.

Key specs

• Format: double-edge blades only, 50 count
• Material: stainless steel; no coating specified in the listing
• Dimensions: standard DE, 43 x 22 mm, approximately 0.10 mm thick
• Sharpness class: medium (unspecified; treat as a middle-of-range blade)
• Compatibility: all standard double-edge razors
• Price tier: budget

Strengths

The obvious strength is the count-to-price ratio. Fifty blades is a meaningful quantity without the storage commitment of a 100-pack, and in the budget tier it is one of the cheapest ways to find out how your skin reacts to an uncoated stainless edge. For anyone building a rotation of blade brands to test — which is the standard way experienced shavers find their blade — a 50-pack is a manageable unit.

The second strength is that the format is universal. There is no razor in this guide that these blades will not fit, so the pack works as a general-purpose spare set regardless of which handle you eventually settle on.

Pros

• Budget-tier pricing on a 50-blade quantity
• Universal fit with every standard double-edge razor
• Good trial size for testing blade feel before buying in bulk
• Compact storage compared with a 100-pack

Cons

• No coating named, so expect a plainer feel than platinum-coated blades
• Less brand documentation than established blade makers — no published sharpness or durability guidance
• Half the quantity of a 100-pack at a comparable cost per blade in some cases, depending on current pricing

How it compares

Against the Astra Platinum 100-pack, KEROPY offers half the blades and no platinum coating, but a smaller upfront spend and less to store. Against the Bambaw 60-pack, the counts are close and the positioning is similar; the Bambaw blades name a platinum Swedish stainless construction while the KEROPY listing does not, so if glide is your priority the Bambaw pack is the more specified option. If sharpness is the priority instead, neither is the answer — go to Feather.

4. Feather Double Edge Safety Razor Blades – Best for Maximum Sharpness

Feather blades are the sharpness benchmark in the double-edge world, and this 50-count pack is the standard way to buy them. The blades are platinum-coated hi-stainless steel made by a Japanese blade manufacturer with a long history in medical and barbering edges, and the difference is measurable in passes rather than in theory: a sharper edge removes the same amount of hair with fewer strokes, and fewer strokes means less cumulative friction against the skin.

That said, sharpness is not a straight upgrade. The reason Feather blades have a reputation for demanding good technique is that a very sharp edge does not forgive a bad angle. If you press and drag the way you might with a cartridge razor, a sharp blade will take off more skin, not just more hair. The correct technique with any double-edge razor is a light touch at roughly a 30-degree blade angle, letting the razor’s weight supply the pressure — but that rule matters most with a blade like this.

Key specs

• Format: double-edge blades only, 50 count
• Material: platinum-coated hi-stainless steel
• Dimensions: standard DE, 43 x 22 mm
• Sharpness class: highest in this guide
• Origin: Japanese blade manufacturer
• Compatibility: all standard double-edge razors
• Price tier: mid-range

Strengths

The first strength is efficiency on dense or coarse growth. Where a mild blade may need three passes and some clean-up, a sharp blade often achieves the same result in two, and the reduction in total blade-to-skin contact is the main reason experienced shavers with heavy beards gravitate here.

The second strength is edge consistency across the life of the blade. Platinum-coated edges in the high-sharpness tier tend to hold their cutting feel for more shaves than an uncoated stainless edge, so the effective cost per shave narrows the gap with cheaper blades more than the sticker price suggests.

The third strength is that a 50-count pack is a reasonable quantity for a blade you may not want to use every day. Many shavers keep a sharp blade for a heavy-growth day and a milder one for daily use, which is a rotation that a 50-pack supports without locking you in.

Pros

• Sharpest tier available in the standard double-edge format
• Fewer passes needed on dense or coarse beards
• Platinum coating maintains edge feel over multiple shaves
• Universal fit; 50 blades is a workable quantity for rotation use

Cons

• Unforgiving of pressure and bad angles — a poor choice for a first blade
• Mid-range price per blade, higher than Astra or KEROPY
• Can feel harsh on sensitive skin if technique is not established

How it compares

Against Astra Platinum, this is the classic mild-versus-sharp trade. Astra is more forgiving and cheaper per blade; Feather cuts more per pass. Against the King C. Gillette 100-count, Feather wins on sharpness and loses on price per blade and on count. The practical answer for most people is to own both a mild blade and a sharp blade rather than to declare one the winner.

5. VIKINGS BLADE Double Edge Safety Razor – Best Premium Set for Travel and Gifting

The Vikings Blade set is the premium option for a shaver who wants the razor to carry more of the work. It arrives as a complete package: the razor, five blades described as Swedish steel, and a fitted luxury case. That last item is what separates it from most razors in this guide — a fitted case is genuinely useful for travel, because a safety razor without its blade removed and secured is awkward to pack, and a case keeps the head protected in a wash bag.

The razor body is metal with a knurled handle, sitting in the mid-to-heavy weight class. Extra mass is the most underrated variable in safety razor design: a heavier razor requires less downward pressure from your hand, and since the most common beginner mistake is pressing too hard, a heavier handle effectively enforces better technique. The trade-off is that more weight is harder to control on the neck and jawline until you adapt.

One buying check before you order: the listing does not specify whether the head is a twist-to-open butterfly design or a three-piece screw-together design, and the brand’s range includes both. That matters because twist-to-open heads are faster to load but have a spring and hinged doors that can be damaged by a drop, while three-piece heads have fewer moving parts and are easier to clean thoroughly but require you to hold the top cap and base plate together while tightening.

Key specs

• Type: complete double-edge razor set
• Included: razor, 5 blades (Swedish steel per listing), fitted luxury case
• Body: metal, knurled handle, mid-to-heavy weight class (approximately 90–120 g)
• Head: closed-comb class; loading mechanism not specified in the listing
• Blade format: standard double-edge, 43 x 22 mm
• Price tier: premium

Strengths

The case is the differentiator. Razor heads are the most fragile part of a safety razor — a dropped razor can bend a safety bar or knock the doors of a twist-to-open head out of alignment, and either fault will change the blade exposure permanently. A fitted case protects against exactly that, and it also solves the “what do I do with this in a hotel bathroom” problem.

The weight and knurling are the second strength. Knurling is the textured pattern cut into the handle, and it matters more than most buyers expect: a polished, smooth handle becomes slippery the moment lather gets on it, and a slippery handle leads to a tighter grip, which leads to more pressure, which leads to irritation. A knurled handle lets you hold the razor loosely, which is the correct way to hold it.

Pros

• Complete set with razor, five blades and a fitted travel case
• Heavier handle reduces the need for hand pressure
• Knurled grip stays controllable with wet, soapy hands
• Case protects the head — the part most likely to be damaged
• Gift-ready presentation

Cons

• Premium price tier for a set whose head geometry is not published
• Loading mechanism (twist-to-open versus three-piece) is not stated in the listing
• Extra weight takes a few shaves to get used to on the neck
• Case adds bulk compared with a bare razor in a wash bag

How it compares

Against the Bambaw razor, the Vikings Blade set is heavier, comes with a case, and costs more; the Bambaw is lighter and simpler. Against the Wilkinson Sword razor, both are premium-tier complete razors with five blades, but only the Vikings Blade includes a case, while the Wilkinson Sword leans on its heritage brand name. Against the BAILI kit, the BAILI is cheaper and easier to load if it is the twist-to-open version, but it lacks the case and the heavier handle.

6. Gillette Sensor3 Sensitive Disposable Razors – Best Cartridge Alternative for Travel

This is not a safety razor, and it is worth saying so plainly: the Sensor3 Sensitive is a disposable cartridge razor with three blades per head and a pivoting head. It appears in a safety razor guide for one reason — it is the right answer for a specific set of situations where a double-edge razor is the wrong tool. Air travel is the clearest example. In many jurisdictions, loose safety razor blades are not permitted in carry-on baggage, while disposable razors generally are, so a 12-count pack of disposables is the practical travel solution for anyone who flies with hand luggage only.

The pivoting head is the second reason. A cartridge head follows the contours of the face automatically, which removes the need to manage blade angle. That is a real advantage for shaving in a hurry, in a shower, or in a gym changing room with no mirror time. It is also why cartridge razors remain the default for most people: they convert a skill into a mechanism.

Key specs

• Type: disposable cartridge razor (not a double-edge safety razor)
• Quantity: 12 razors
• Blades per head: 3
• Head: pivoting
• Variant: sensitive positioning
• Price tier: mid-range

Strengths

The first strength is zero learning curve. There is no blade to load, no angle to learn, no pressure discipline to develop. For a shaver who has decided that the ritual of double-edge shaving is not appealing, this removes every barrier at once.

The second strength is disposability itself. A disposable razor can be left in a gym bag, taken through airport security in most cases, and thrown away when the edge dulls — no blade bank, no used-blade storage, no risk of a loose blade in a bathroom drawer.

The third strength is that a 12-count pack is a genuine supply. Treated as a travel-only razor, twelve disposables will last a very long time, which makes the higher cost per shave less relevant than it looks.

Pros

• No blade handling, no angle technique, no maintenance
• Generally permitted in carry-on baggage where loose blades are not — always confirm current rules with your airline and security authority
• Pivoting head handles contours without input from the user
• Convenient for gym bags, travel and shared bathrooms

Cons

• Higher cost per shave than double-edge blades by a wide margin
• More plastic waste — the opposite of the reason many people switch to safety razors
• Less control over blade angle and therefore over how close the shave is
• Multi-blade cartridge heads can be less comfortable for some shavers than a single blade — if you have persistent irritation, it is worth discussing with a dermatologist or other qualified professional

How it compares

Against the BAILI butterfly razor kit, the Sensor3 is faster and requires no learning but costs more per shave and generates more waste. Against the Bambaw razor, the comparison is even starker: the Bambaw is an investment in a metal tool with a cheap consumable, while the Sensor3 is a consumable from the first stroke. The honest framing is that these are two different products for two different jobs, and plenty of shavers own both.

7. King C. Gillette Double-Edge Razor Blades – Best All-Round Blade for Mixed Beards

The King C. Gillette 100-count is the middle-of-the-road blade pack: a 100-blade quantity at a mid-range price, with an anti-friction coating named on the listing. That coating is the detail that distinguishes it from a plain stainless blade — it reduces drag during the stroke, which is the sensation most people describe as “smoothness” — and it is aimed at the same problem the platinum coatings on Astra and Feather address, using a different mechanism.

The brand name deserves a note. King C. Gillette is a modern line built on the Gillette heritage, and the blades are a current product rather than a revival of the classic double-edge blades the company made decades ago. That matters for expectations: the name signals a well-resourced manufacturer and broad distribution, not a specific vintage specification. Judge the blade on how it shaves in your razor, not on the logo.

Key specs

• Format: double-edge blades only, 100 count
• Coating: anti-friction coating per the listing
• Dimensions: standard DE, 43 x 22 mm, approximately 0.10 mm thick
• Sharpness class: medium
• Compatibility: all standard double-edge razors
• Price tier: mid-range

Strengths

The quantity-to-price ratio is strong for a mid-range blade: 100 blades is the same volume as the Astra pack, so the comparison between the two comes down to feel and coating rather than to count. If Astra feels slightly too mild on your beard and Feather feels slightly too aggressive, this is the logical middle rung to try.

The anti-friction coating is the second strength. Friction, not sharpness alone, is what produces most post-shave discomfort, so a coating that reduces drag on the first stroke is doing real work. It also tends to make a medium-sharpness blade feel closer to a sharp one on the first pass, which is where most irritation occurs.

The third strength is availability. A 100-count pack from a widely distributed brand is easy to replace, which matters if you do not want to depend on a single specialist supplier for a consumable you use every week.

Pros

• 100 blades at a mid-range price — a full year of shaving for most people
• Anti-friction coating improves glide on the first stroke
• Medium sharpness sits between Astra and Feather, useful for narrowing down preference
• Universal double-edge fit

Cons

• Not the cheapest 100-pack in this guide
• Not as sharp as Feather for dense growth
• Coating durability is not specified, so blade life is a matter of observation rather than a published figure

How it compares

Against Astra Platinum, this is a straight fight on price versus coating type — both are 100-count, medium-sharpness packs, and the decision usually comes down to which one feels better on your skin, which is a personal result no description can predict. Against Feather, the King C. Gillette is gentler and cheaper per blade but slower on heavy growth. Against the MERKUR SUPER pack, the King C. Gillette gives you 100 blades for less per blade, while MERKUR gives you smaller, more testable packs.

8. Bambaw Safety Razor Blades 60 Pack – Best Mid-Size Blade Pack for Bambaw Owners

The Bambaw 60-pack is the natural refill for anyone who bought the Bambaw razor, and a sensible standalone blade purchase for anyone else. Sixty blades sits between the 50-count trial packs and the 100-count bulk packs, which makes it a reasonable middle commitment: at a blade every four shaves, that is roughly eight months of daily shaving, or considerably longer for someone who shaves three times a week.

The blades are described as platinum-coated Swedish stainless steel. Platinum coating is the standard upgrade over a bare stainless edge, and its practical effect is a smoother first pass and a slightly more stable edge over successive shaves. “Swedish stainless” is a marketing descriptor for the steel sourcing rather than a specification you can verify, so treat it as a quality signal from the brand rather than as a measurable property.

Key specs

• Format: double-edge blades only, 60 count
• Material: platinum-coated Swedish stainless steel per the listing
• Dimensions: standard DE, 43 x 22 mm, approximately 0.10 mm thick
• Sharpness class: medium
• Compatibility: all standard double-edge razors
• Price tier: budget

Strengths

The price tier is the main draw: this is a budget-tier pack with a coating normally found on mid-range blades, which is a favourable combination if you shave often enough to go through blades steadily. Sixty is also a quantity that fits comfortably in a bathroom cabinet without taking over the shelf.

The second strength is consistency with the Bambaw ecosystem. If you already use the Bambaw razor, buying the matching blade pack removes a variable — you are not mixing a brand’s recommended blade with an unknown edge while you are still learning the razor’s feel. That is a small thing, but it makes the first few weeks of double-edge shaving easier to interpret.

Pros

• Budget price tier with a platinum-coated blade
• 60-count quantity is a sensible middle ground between trial and bulk packs
• Matches the Bambaw razor for a consistent starting setup
• Universal double-edge fit

Cons

• Fewer blades than a 100-count pack at a similar or lower price per blade elsewhere
• Brand-specific availability compared with widely stocked blade names
• No published sharpness or coating durability data

How it compares

Against the KEROPY 50-pack, this is a slightly larger quantity with a named platinum coating, which makes it the better specified of the two budget blade packs. Against Astra Platinum, Bambaw offers 60 coated blades instead of 100 at a broadly similar price tier — the Astra pack is better value per blade, while the Bambaw pack is the smaller commitment. Against Feather, neither is in the same sharpness class.

9. BAILI Butterfly Open TTO Safety Razor Kit – Best for Easiest Blade Changes

The BAILI kit is the beginner-friendly option for a specific reason: the butterfly, or twist-to-open, head. Instead of unscrewing a three-piece razor and separating the top cap, base plate and handle, you turn a knob at the base of the handle and two doors hinge open to release the blade. The blade drops out, a new one drops in, and you twist the knob closed. For anyone who is nervous about handling a loose blade — or who shaves with wet hands and does not want to juggle three
