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!
Go green and save green in your plastic-free shave routine with this all-purpose metal safety razor. Simply twist to open the butterfly top to change the double-edge blades, which give the closest possible shave while being gentle to the skin and economical to use.
This razor is not just beautiful, it performs flawlessly (and only takes a little practice, we promise) and will last a long time. It’s slightly heavier than basic razors for added durability and a better shave, but small enough to pack and travel anywhere. Â (Stock up on a box of extra replacement blades here.)

Key Highlights:
Albatross Blade Take Back Info
Albatross razor sets come with 10 free blades and an envelope you can use to collect your used blades in. The used blades can then be sent back to them or dropped off at a participating Blade Take Back Program site. The company asks that you put a maximum of four blade packs (40 Blades) in each envelope. If you order multiple blade packs, they will include 1 Take Back Envelope for every 4 blade packs in your order.
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. Albatross 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.
