For comparison, let's take a look at the razors for wet shaving that are best known and most used.
Safety razor
We know the safety razors, also called safety razors. These were already used by our grandfathers and are still widely used today.
A safety razor consists of a handle and a rigid head in which there is a razor blade that is clamped using a simple principle. It can be used on both sides because the blade has two sharp sides.
The application requires some practice. You always have to find the right angle for the blade to be in relation to your face when shaving in order to achieve a smooth result. Shaving with a safety razor is very precise, but the risk of injury should not be underestimated. You have to be very concentrated when shaving, especially at the beginning.
The safety razor is also suitable as a lady's shave, but many women have respect for using it and are concerned that shaving with the safety razor could be too aggressive and women could easily injure themselves. The manufacturer therefore not recommends the safety razor for body shaving. Nevertheless, many women buy a safety razor because they don't want to create so much plastic waste in the bathroom.
A safety razor is usually made of metal and is very durable. The blade can be easily replaced with a new one. Once purchased, the safety razor is a very inexpensive way to shave because the replacement blades cost little. The safety razor is also very environmentally friendly because it is plastic-free and there is hardly any waste; the used razor blades are sent for metal recycling.
Conclusion:
+precise, environmentally friendly, inexpensive to use, durable
- There may be a risk of injury for beginners
System shaver with replaceable head
The best-known type of wet shaving is the system razor. They are present in every supermarket, drugstore, online, in television advertising, everywhere. They are available from numerous manufacturers in many price ranges and in countless variations.
A system razor or swing head razor consists of a handle and an interchangeable head in which several cutting blades are arranged. A simple mechanism allows the entire cutting head to be replaced with a new one if necessary. System razors enable a very gentle shave.
The shaving head is movable and automatically follows the contours of your face or the part of your body to be shaved when shaving. Handling is very easy and the risk of injury is low.
The swing head razors are also very suitable as a lady's shave; they are also available specifically as women's razors.
A system razor usually consists of plastic with rubber, the replaceable razor heads are a composite of plastic and metal. This means they cannot be recycled and a huge amount of waste is created.
The handle wears out with daily use and becomes unsightly after a while, so it also ends up in the plastic waste.
System razors are very inexpensive to purchase, but the frequent purchase of replacement heads can be expensive and produces huge amounts of waste.
Conclusion:
+ gentle, safe, comfortable, simple
- expensive to repurchase, makes you “dependent” on the razor manufacturer for repurchasing the interchangeable heads, creates huge amounts of non-recyclable plastic waste
Disposable razor
Disposable razors are the cheapest variant of wet shaving. They are made in one piece, with a rigid head that contains one or more cutting blades. They are suitable for on the go if you forget your razor at home. They should not be the daily way of shaving, because disposal creates a huge mountain of unrecyclable waste.
