10 Best Safety Razors For Men (Review) in 2021

Featuring quality German craftsmanship, Merkur might just be to safety razors what Mercedes is to cars. It’s a beautiful, quality and well-engineered product that delivers a close and clean shave. It features a longer length handle at almost 4 inches long which is designed to provide superior reach and balance. This is great if you have larger hands or are just looking to get to harder to reach places and angles. It features a non-slip handle that provides plenty of grip for added control and precision. That means it’s a good, reliable entry safety razor for anyone new to this way of shaving. It’s not overly aggressive, and you don’t need to apply too much pressure for it to glide over the contours of the skin. With its chrome finish, it looks sleek and elegant and can easily transition from wet to dry shaving methods. It uses an inexpensive but durable double edge safety blade and delivers a precise end result. Be sure to combine this with a good shaving cream from our list.

For our next review of the Best Safety Razors for Men we have something from an Australian company known as the Vikings Blade who are a bit of an underground sensation! They’ve been in the business of creating quality razors now for over 30 years, so we figured it was about time we put them firmly in the spotlight, and we’re sure you’ll agree. The Chieftain is just one of the excellent, high-quality products in their range and is durable and dependable and crafted from quality Swedish stainless steel. It comes with a lifetime warranty, and while it’s superior and long-lasting, it’s also affordable too. It features a micro-comb that can help novices to the safety razor get to grip with the art more efficiently, and it also has an advanced Butterfly head that means you can change blades effortlessly. If you have sensitive skin, then this is a great recommendation and shouldn’t cause those pesky in-growing hairs which can be such a pain. It also has a sure grip handle for confident wet shave operation and comes in its own attractive but also incredibly convenient leatherette and suede travel case making it a perfect choice for travel. Summing up the Chieftain we’d say it delivers high-quality craftsmanship and is excellent for sensitive skin.

This model comes with a long style handle and a Butterfly opening so that you can quickly change your double edge safety razor when needed. It’s exquisitely designed with a beautiful, secure grip handle that feels and performs with precision and dependability. Made by skilled craftsmen and designed for discerning gentlemen just like you.

Edwin Jagger is a UK based family owned business that has developed quite a following and reputation for crafting exceptionally elegant and precise razors and their safety razor from their collection is no exception. This is a chrome plated version and so looks super sophisticated too and again it features that double-edged safety razor which is excellent for use on even the most sensitive of male skin. If you are prone to the occasional, clumsy nip or cut, then this is a great recommendation because it’s well balanced and easy to handle while still providing that close, clean shave you might be looking to achieve. It’s comparable to the sensation you receive from an old style straight razor but comes in three separate pieces which make it altogether more straightforward to clean and replace if any of the parts are worn. It’s solid dependable and doesn’t require a lot of pressure or exertion, and because the handle is constructed from tubular brass that has then been covered with an exterior of chrome, it has a good but more manageable weight. Durable, good balance and an excellent choice for those of you with sensitive skin. After you finish shaving with this straight razor, make sure you use a quality aftershave from our list.

This is a great example of a quality safety style razor from Merkur who have been in the business for over 30 years. By now they’ve pretty much got the art of manufacturing razors not just down to a science, but also a craft. Their Futur is high quality as you would expect but it’s also unique looking and super versatile too thanks to six different settings. The setting adjusts the blade exposure so that you can better contour to the various surface areas and hair lengths on your own face for a much close, precise and more aggressive shave. It’s elegantly designed in smooth brushed chrome and has a longer style handle which is great for the larger handed gents among you. It, of course, features superb German engineering and craftsmanship and has a nice, substantial weight while still being easy to maneuver. A solid, good looking and versatile safety razor choice. This makes a great grooming gift for that special someone.

This razor has a bit of a bad boy reputation apparently and goes in some shaving circles by the name of The Beast. We can assure you that is meant in the best possible way and is very much an affectionate term for the Muhle R41 and not meant to be derogatory in the least. It’s aggressive yet safe at the same time so for any newcomers to the safety razor category, you might want to try out your face on one of the less fierce razors first and get used to the handling of them before your progress to this beauty. What it delivers is an exceptionally close shave, some even argue as close as a straight razor can but without the need to apply as much firm pressure. The open tooth comb design itself features a specially angled blade that has been designed to enhance your overall shaving experience. The scalloped edges on the safety bar mean that you can get a close shave without the risk of nicks and cuts. It operates well with a delicate and accurate balance in the hand and comes in three different designs. There’s the traditional three-piece, a Grande three-piece, and a further Twist two-piece. The Twist is heavier than the other two while the Grande has an interchangeable handle. It’s finished in chrome plating so looks elegant and has that old-fashioned, traditional Barbershop appeal. Multiple designs to choose from, ergonomic to grip and a close shave with minimal passes. This will be your favorite product from your dopp kit.

This is what we could describe as the heavyweight in the category. You might even go so far as to say it’s the superheavyweight no less because it sure is weighty at 4.3 ounces. That might not be to everyone’s liking, but if you are a larger man, with bigger hands, and big old meat pie face to match, then you will love the dependability that this double edge razor delivers and the surface that it can cover. It’s reassuringly heavy rather than annoyingly so. It’s also incredibly sold, durable and a quality safety razor in almost all respects. It looks elegant and is crafted from genuine brass with nickel plating. It comes in three separate parts that are easy to dismantle and clean, ensuring that your Parker is always well maintained. As it’s a heavier razor who will be able to apply more pressure so can get a very clean and close shave, but with the long handle that has plenty of grip, you shouldn’t have to worry it about it slipping mid-use. It comes already supplied with a five double edge blade, but you can use it with all standard dual-edge blades. It’s big and bold, easy to grip and hold and built to last. Find more great products like this by checking out our guide to the best shaving soaps.

It also comes with a 5 pack of stainless steel blades, so you are ready straight out of the box to enjoy a close, clean and comfortable shave. It’s a sleek and contemporary looking product that would make a great gift idea. And it will look good in your bathroom, next to your shaving bowl.
