Bulldog Skincare Original Bamboo Razor and Stand
OK, this razor doesn’t come with a brush, but it does come with a side order of saving the planet. The razor comes with four refill blades, each designed with five tempered steel blades, a lubricating strip, and a precision trimmer; all also designed to minimize waste in your friendly neighborhood landfill. The handle itself is also interchangeable for three other “sleeve” styles, the Bonchurch, Golborne, and Barlby, each offering a style option from modern to classic to…well…bamboo…to fit your vanity’s style. The stand itself is also made from tough, natural, and renewable bamboo; storing the razor properly; i.e., not blade down, while prolonging the life of the blades by draining water away from the head.
