• Plastic Free - No more disposable plastic shavers in our landfills.
• Unisex - Great for everyone. Face, legs, underarms, bikini - this Safety Razor can shave everywhere.
• Affordable -Refill Shaving Blade packs are available at a super affordable price. See-ya expensive plastic cartridge refills!
• Sustainable - No more mixed material razors entering the waste stream. The only waste you make is the stainless steel Razor Blades, which are hyper-recyclable through our Take Back Program.
• Simplicity & Right to Repair - Our Razors are a simple screw mechanism and two top holding plates. We offer replacement parts should you need them in the future - your Safety Razor is around for a good time and a long time.

1. Unscrew the head of the Razor Shaver from the handle.

2. Place the blade between the two top plates, holding by the blunt edges.

3. Screw the handle tightly back on and shave away! Shave on a 30º angle for the closest shave. No pressure is required as the weight of the Razor does the work for you.

4. Replace the blade when it goes blunt. On average this is every fifth shave, less for thick hair, and more for fine hair.

5. Rinse the Razor thoroughly after each use. Clean away soap and hair, then let your Safety Razor dry out of the shower.

Store your Razor safely out of the shower between uses, and take care not to drop your Razor. We have very detailed instructions set out in the blog, and you can watch the video above to see how you can easily put the pieces of the Safety Razor together and change the Razor Blades.

1. Measurements: 9.4cm (h) Handle, 4.4cm (l) Blade Holding Plate

2. The Razor Blades are standard size and shape and available in 20s in the Blade Refill Pack. They are significantly more affordable than plastic razor cartridges and work out to be less than 5 cents per shave for coarse hair and even less for fine hair.

1. The Safety Razor is made from certified Stainless Steel Type 304 20% and Zinc Alloy 80%.

2. The Safety Razor Blades are certified 100% Stainless Steel and are hyper-recyclable. Please note that these often cannot be recycled curbside because they are small and sharp; please see the details about our Blade Take Back Program for recycling your used Razor Blades in New Zealand.

Packaging is an FSC-certified cardboard box with instructions on the reverse side and a kraft paper envelope. We ship these in a cardboard box with paper tape and compostable shrink wrap in our supply chain.

Change your Safety Razor Blades:

1. Do this regularly. A sharp blade will give you the best shave, and switching them out and wiping the parts prevents any residue in your Safety Razor.

Rinse Your Razor:

1. Give your Safety Razor a thorough rinse to prevent discolouration from soap residue after each use.

Dry Your Razor:

1. Use a towel to dry your Razor, and don't store it in the shower. Take apart the three pieces and give them a dry if it's going to be a while between each use.

2. A Razor Stand will help the water drain off your shaving razor. . You can opt for the zero waste Shaving Kit with the Safety Razor Stand, or the Razor Stand is available separately. We recommend the stand as a very useful add-on as it prevents pooling water and keeps your Razor in a safe place.

Each of our Razor Blade Refills are double-edged. You get approximately five shaves on each edge of the razor blade. The benchmark for this is course facial hair so if you are shaving fine hair then the blades will last even longer.

A good hack is to always shave on the edge that is closest to the 'Cali' logo. This way you keep track of when it's time for a change - not an essential though and for the more detail-orientated, astute shavers out there!

No, our blades are the standard shape and size. You can refill with another brand as long as it is a standard razor blade. We take any brand of Razor Blades back in our recycling program. Please refer to the product images so you can match the shape.

Yes, the Safety Razor can be used all over the body. If you are new to shaving with a shaving razor we recommend you learn on an easier place, such as your legs. We have had a few Men mention that it didn't work well on the top of their heads but everywhere else was fine - please provide us your feedback if you are a head shaver!
Here are our top tips: Read our 'how to' blog post, lather well, turn off the water in the shower while shaving, use gentle pressure (the main difference from a plastic razor). Take your time on the first few shaves, and soon it will feel intuitive.

Yes! We offer Cali Razor Replacement Parts. We are serious about creating products that last for ages and giving customers the right to repair. If anything should ever happen to your shaving razor, or you lose a part, we have the separate pieces available via email order.

We take Sustainability seriously. In this world, it's impossible to be perfect when the whole system seems to be against our best intentions. BUT...something as small as changing your Razor can save hundreds of pieces of plastic every year.

If you send your used Safety Razor Blades back to us clean and dry, we will repurpose or recycle them!

Here's how it works:

USE- Use, love, and shave sustainably until the blades are no longer sharp enough for the job

DRY- Clean the blade and dry it thoroughly

POST- back to us! Once you have 40 or more, seal the supplied envelope and wrap it into another (so the postman/postwoman's hands are safe), then post your blades back to CaliWoods. We accept them even if they are from another brand. Considering the end-of-life of a product and closing the waste loop is part of our product stewardship - getting the good stuff going here in NZ.

REPURPOSE- This bit is our job. Most councils and recycling centres don't accept single blades because of their small size and sharp edges. Using people power and the magic of squirrelling these blades away over time, we have a few ideas for using the material and/or there will be enough to feasibly recycle

A Safety Razor only has one blade compared to a disposable with multiple. This helps reduce the chance of irritation and allows a closer shave. Our Safety Razor and Low Waste Shave Kit are 100% plastic-free, unlike most disposable Razors, which need to be landfilled.

You can buy the Safety Razor Blade Refill Pack, which contains 20 double-edged Safety Razor Blades.
