Shavejack

What's in the box: Replacement stainless steel blades for the wooden handled Shavejack razor, which you buy once up front.

Shavejack is a Swiss shaving brand built around a reusable razor with a handmade wooden handle, offered in walnut and olive wood, that takes a single stainless steel blade. The subscription covers the consumables: you buy the handle once and keep receiving replacement blades. The shop also sells a shaving set and a travel size shaving cream. You can have handles engraved, which makes the razor a thoughtful gift. A newer Shavejane line is aimed at women. The brand says it plants a tree for every handle sold. It also offers a Happy Shaving guarantee meant to let you try the razor without risk, but the front page does not spell out the terms, so read the policies first. The site also does not clearly explain how often deliveries arrive, how to pause or cancel, or what each delivery costs, so check those before you sign up. Single blade razors take some getting used to. If you have only used multi blade cartridges, expect a few slow, careful shaves before it feels natural. The site is in German and the business focuses on Switzerland, so shoppers in other countries should check whether it ships to them. For Swiss shavers who want to cut down on plastic cartridges and like a nicely made tool, it is an attractive option.
