DE5 Safety Razor

The Fine® DE5 safety razor has been meticulously designed for performance, leveraging insights derived from the testing of vintage razors from throughout the 120-year history of disposable blade shaving. Featuring a unique modified open-comb guard, all-metal construction around a stainless steel core, and an initial supply of world-renowned FEATHER® blades, the DE5 restores shaving to better-than-new condition. SHAVING DOESN'T NEED TO BE REINVENTED. Shaving was essentially perfected back in 1904 - with the invention of the disposable blade. However, rather than the shaving experience (and its affordability) improving over time, we've instead been treated to a case study on the shortcomings of the pure-profit motive. We built The Fine® DE5 Safety Razor to offer shavers a return to what works best. We scoured the entire global history of safety razor design to test and evaluate the performance of dozens of iterations of this seemingly simple device, and we learned a lot. THEY GOT IT (MOSTLY) RIGHT THE FIRST TIME We immediately noticed that the older the piece we tested, the more we liked it, and this trend continued almost right up to the first disposable blade razors ever produced. Perhaps we shouldn't have been so surprised, considering these early razors were genuine luxury products. Somewhat famously, their initial pricing (at $5 each) represented a cost equal to three weeks of the average salary, and they were built with quality to match. THE DIVIDING LINE But
