The Angle Razor is a machined aluminium straight razor with a beautifully minimal design. Designed by Morrama, a London-based design agency, the razor reimagines and celebrates the ceremony of shaving by enabling users to re-create the barbering ritual at home. The result is a unique and considered a straight razor suitable for the 21st century.
While the Angle Razor still has everything that one would expect to find in a traditional straight razor, the team updated the ergonomics and the functionality to make a more versatile and compact shaving tool for personal use. As well as costing significantly less than cartridge razors, the zero-plastic Angle Razor is also a better choice for the environment too.
Even better, there is no subscription service; the Angle Razor is designed to last a lifetime, not just the lifetime of a subscription. Utilizing double edged (DE) razor blades that are available anywhere in the world, the Angle Razor isn't as costly or time-consuming to use as a traditional straight razor as it doesn’t require the use of a strop or any sharpening tools and the blades are less than £0.10 ($0.14) each.
Launching on Kickstarter on 1st March, early birds will be able to get ahold of the Angle Razor for 30% off retail price at only £45 ($60).
