Which Safety Razor Should I Buy?
Which safety razor should I buy?
For those that are new to the wet shave game, that has to be one of the first questions you ask your self. The safety razor world has a weird paradox that is almost completely different than what you see in the cartridge razor world. Currently there are far fewer men that shave with a safety razor than that shave with a cartridge razor. The safety razor market is a small fraction of the cartridge razor market. Yet there are hundreds of options for different kinds of safety razors, and far fewer options for types and styles of cartridge razors.
Therefore someone coming into the wet shaving world might be overwhelmed by the amount of choices they have when setting out to buy their first safety razor.

The Wet Shaving Club Is Here To Help.
We are going to do something that you won’t find many other retailers do.
Above is a list of some of the most popular safety razors on the market. Here is the catch. We don’t carry or sell most of them! Why would we advertising something we do not sell?
Because we believe more people should start using a safety razor. Yes, we want to sell stuff and make money. But two of the principals that we are operating this business on drove our decision to list razors we don’t sell and competitors we are trying to gain sales from.
1. A rising tide lifts all boats. Therefore the more people that start wet shaving, the more likely our business will grow over time.
2. If we are going to carry something, we are going to have the best price. We offer free shipping on everything, and we constantly monitor our prices vs our competitors and vs the Amazons of the world to ensure our pricing is the best.
