WHY: WHY: The EPA once estimated 2 billion disposable razors and refill blades get trashed in the U.S. each year. Let’s go back to basics and ‘shave the world from plastic’ – AND save your wallet from unnecessary costs!

These are high quality stainless steel replacement blades for the Albatross Flagship Butterfly Razor. (Each pack has 10 double-edged razor blades).
In general, the company estimates that each blade lasts for about 5 shaves; however, this is highly dependent on the density and thickness of whatever is being shaved, be it a grizzly beard or very fine leg hair. And our own team (we’re talking fine leg hair) has used a blade as long as 6 months!
With that said, Albatross uses the following guidelines:
Albatross Blade Take Back Info
All of Albatross’ blade sets come with an envelope you can use to collect your used blades in. The used blades can then be sent back to the company or dropped off at a participating Blade Take Back Program site. They ask that you put a maximum of four blade packs (40 Blades) in each envelope.
The Albatross Blade Take Back Program was the world’s first shaving Take Back program and represents years of hard work to create a totally closed loop production cycle. The company aims to make new (non-razor) products with the Take Back metal that have other direct environmental benefits; they don’t just recycle, they upcycle!
Albatross Designs is helping create a sustainable future by designing products and systems that solve environmental problems. The company is inspired to action by its love for the sea, and the sense of moral obligation one has when they truly discover the current state of the environment. Albatross products are purpose built to make your life better and enable more environmentally sustainable living.
Launching the company’s shaver shop identified a daily habit that represents substantial plastic waste and devised the solution of offering high quality all-metal safety razors.
Making the switch from a plastic cartridge razor to Albatross’ double-edge safety razor provides fantastic benefit to both the shaver and the environment. Additionally, due to design, Albatross razors do not cause the type of skin irritation that many have, sadly, come to accept and expect in shaving with commonplace plastic cartridge-style products.
Finally, and perhaps best of all, shaving with an Albatross razor is the eco-friendly option. You’ll get the barber-quality wet shave you’ve been dreaming of without generating plastic waste that harms the environment and ocean ecology.
