There has been much talk on the internet about razors lately that haven’t really been about the quality of the product itself. So we decided to do you all the favour by finally talking about which razors are actually the best. Here at Thailand Tatler, we love a product that’s not only well crafted and well designed but one that will last and have the least impact on the environment. Here are five such razors to consider:
Albatross is a brand to know about when it comes to “shaving the environment”. Founded by a sailor, the brand encapsulates the attitude seaman have towards the sea and having limited resources—something we should frankly all try to inherit.
The Flagship Butterfly Razor is the elevated version of Albatross’ first razor, The Basic, with over-built components for durability, high-polished finish to protect from corrosion and 10 free blades. The razor comes in a charming stitched hemp bag and is also available in an Extra Long size. Most importantly, showing their commitment to sustainability, Albatross has a Blade Take Back Program where you can send your blades back to them for recycling.

For those who love the feel of a classic straight razor, this is by far the top-ranking straight razor on the internet. Highly regarded by many professional groomers, the Feather SS Japanese Straight Razor will give you a satisfyingly close and smooth shave at the easy flick of the wrist. Featuring a heat resistant silicone resin handle for a comfortable and always temperate grip, the blade head is spring-mounted with a one-touch mechanism that can be easily dismantled and reassembled for upkeep.
The Feather SS Japanese Straight Razor is available on amazon.com.
When you think of heavy duty razors, you can’t help but think of the Merkur 34C (and it’s not just because it’s in the name.) This German-made razor is built like razors that were around a hundred years ago and yet is one of the most versatile and acclaimed razors on the market today. Many groomers hail the 34C as the best double-edge razor out there, recommended for both experienced and newbie wet shavers. If you can’t make up your mind about razors, the Merkur is a fool-proof choice and will last you a long, long time.
The Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic Double Edge Safety Razor is available on amazon.com.
