FAQs

WHAT IS WET SHAVING?

Wet shaving is technically any shaving that is done where the user creates their own lather using water and a soap/cream/foam. Using the New Wave range of products is the perfect way to get into, continue or improve your wet shaving experience.

IS SHAVING WITH A RAZOR DANGEROUS, OLD FASHIONED AND BARBARIC?

Absolutely not! Our flagship product is called a safety razor for a reason.

When you use a safety razor it is a little different than using a cartridge razor but after a couple of shaves it feels so much better.  Using a safety razor also has great benefits for your skin due to the fact you are using one blade close to the skin opposed to several in cartridge razors, which in turn means less irritation, shave rashes and ingrown hairs.

WHAT ABOUT COSTS, ARE RAZOR BLADES TOO NICHE FOR MOST PEOPLE?

Although you tend to see less single blade razors on the high street it doesn't mean they are hard to get hold of.  New Wave will be able to provide you with blades should you run out at a much lower cost than cartridge blades.  The safety razor blades are standardised and so there is plenty of choice.

£15 - £30 will kit you out with enough blades for a year.
