Safety Razor

A safety razor is a wet shaving implement with a protective device positioned between the edge of the blade and the skin. The initial purpose of these protective devices was to reduce the level of skill needed for injury-free shaving, thereby reducing the reliance on professional barbers.

Safety razors use double-edge blades that are inserted into the head of the razor. The razor blades are typically made of stainless steel or carbon steel and are very sharp. Safety razors are typically more expensive than disposable razors, but they can be reused for many shaves, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run.

Safety razors are also generally considered to be more comfortable to shave with than disposable razors. The safety bar helps to protect the skin from the blade, and the double-edge blades are less likely to cause irritation or ingrown hairs.
