These are high quality stainless steel replacement blades for the Albatross Flagship Butterfly Razor. (Each pack has 10 double-edged razor blades).
In general, the company estimates that each blade lasts for about 5 shaves; however, this is highly dependent on the density and thickness of whatever is being shaved, be it a grizzly beard or very fine leg hair. And our own team (we’re talking fine leg hair) has used a blade as long as 6 months!
With that said, Albatross uses the following guidelines:
- Low Shaving Frequency (1 or 2X per week):Â 3Â Blade Packs per Year
- Medium Shaving Frequency (2 – 4X per week):Â 4 -5 Blade Packs per Year
- High Shaving Frequency (5 -7X per week):Â Â 7 -10 Blade Packs per Year
Albatross Blade Take Back Info
All of Albatross’ blade sets come with an envelope you can use to collect your used blades in. The used blades can then be sent back to the company or dropped off at a participating Blade Take Back Program site. They ask that you put a maximum of four blade packs (40 Blades) in each envelope.
The Albatross Blade Take Back Program was the world’s first shaving Take Back program and represents years of hard work to create a totally closed loop production cycle. The company aims to make new (non-razor) products with the Take Back metal that have other direct environmental benefits; they don’t just recycle, they upcycle!
