Stainless Steel Butterfly Safety Razor 'Flagship'

Different from the Basic razor, The Albatross ‘Flagship Safety Razor’ is slightly longer in length and heavier for added durability and a better shave. Additionally, The Flagship razor is highly polished to ensure long lasting protection from any potential corrosion.

We feel this is the better of the two short handle options. Though this is more expensive than The Basic, it has upgraded components and significantly less maintenance because of its high-polished finish. Considering this could be the last razor you'll ever buy, we think the extra expense is worth it .

This razor has a butterfly opening, which twists open from the bottom making it easy to load replacement blades. Each razor comes with 10 quality double-edged razor blades and a hemp drawstring bag.

What it replaces & why we love it

Billions of plastic disposable razors and plastic razor heads are thrown away each year, all going straight to landfill. And what about the cost!

This is another small change that you can make to take unneeded plastic waste out of your life, and because the replacement blades are so cheap, it will cost you less over the long run!

Materials

• Stainless steel – long lasting durable material

Care

To ensure the longest life possible we recommend rinsing thoroughly after each use, patting dry with a towel and storing the shaver in a dry place.

End of life

The razors themselves will keep forever so make sure you take proper care of them. Being made of 100% Stainless Steel, they are also 100% recyclable - check with your local recycling facility for correct disposable.

The razor blades are dangerous and cannot go into your recycling as is so we now offer a  Blade take-back program.

To help ensure products we sell are repurposed or recycled at the end of its life we have pooled resources with Caliwoods to offer a blade take-back program.  Once we have collected enough blades, we will send them to Caliwoods were they have a few ideas for using the material and/or there will be enough to feasibly recycle.

• Collect you used blades
• Ensure they are clean and dry
• Pop them back into the paper envelope they come in
• When you have 10 or more, pop them into an envelope - ensuring they are well packed to avoid harm to those handling the mail. And send them to The Eco Society

 We will also take any blades from any brand

Product Packaging

These guys come with very little packaging, which we love - cardboard info card and a reusable hemp bag. Each blade comes individually wrapped in paper and inside an envelope.

How they come packaged to us

These eco goodies arrive in a cardboard box, apart from the tape there is no other plastic in this parcel.

Parcels to you
