The custom Double Edge Safety Razor (aka DE Blade, or Safety Razor), is presented with serious wet shavers in mind. The safety razor was first introduced in the late 18th century as an alternative (and “safer”) to a cut throat blade. “DE” blades are commonly known as the blade your father or grandfather used to use – today, classic style wet shaving is making a resurgence.
Many advocates of the blade insist that they get a closer, more comfortable shave, with less irritation and shaving bumps. Shaving bumps occur when the whisker is cut too close, causing the hair to grow back in at an angle underneath the skin causing a "bump".
The blade is packaged in matte black gift box, accompanied with a pack of starter blades, and an instructional card.
About Baxter of California
Given the recent boom in men’s grooming and all the hype of new products, ingredients and celebrity endorsements, Baxter Finley must be having a great laugh.
Finley is the unsung father of the modern men’s skincare industry. Moving from New York City to Los Angeles to work in the fast paced world of advertising in the mid 1960’s Finley realized the constant heat and sun was doing a rough number on his skin. After searching high and low for a moisturizer that wasn’t pink or floral, he finally gave up and created his own, which he called Super Shape. The first line of grooming products created just for men, which he named Baxter of California, was launched from his Beverly Hills headquarters in 1965.
With the massive success of Super Shape, Baxter began churning out more men’s products including Skin Toner for Men, Enriched Night Cream for Men, Under Eye Concentrate for Men, a vitamin enriched soap and a soothing shaving cream. By the 1970’s every Hollywood hotshot was slapping their mugs with Baxter’s bounty. Not only had he launched the first men’s grooming line in the US, but he identified it with the preeminent men of that era. Baxter of California developed a solid reputation for producing premier products specially formulated to meet men’s skincare needs, products that have been sought after by everyone from the guys next door to leading men from Hollywood. This was the line for the ultimate playboy.
