The Vanguard 316L Stainless Steel Double Edge Safety Razor - Mirror Polished

Product Overview

The Vanguard is our signature stainless steel safety razor, thoughtfully engineered in-house to raise the bar for premium wet shaving tools. Made from 316L marine-grade stainless steel and finished in a high mirror polish, it delivers the refined tactile balance normally associated with titanium, and the durability and corrosion resistance of surgical-grade stainless steel. The Vanguard is all about precision, balance, and elevation.

At 88 grams with a 3.5-inch (89mm) handle, The Vanguard offers impeccable balance—light enough for intuitive control, yet substantial enough for a steady hand. Finished with beveled safety bar edges and vintage-inspired diamond-shaped post holes, this razor is equal parts performance and craftsmanship.

We’ve poured a lot of effort into crafting this product—and just as much effort into keeping it affordable. It’s priced below what it’s worth, but that’s by design. Our goal has always been to bring outstanding value to the wet shaving community.

Why Choose The Vanguard?

The Vanguard adapts to your preferred shave style with three interchangeable base plates (sold individually or included as options), making it the most versatile and thoughtfully designed safety razor in our lineup.

We’ve priced it to reflect our commitment to value, not just craftsmanship. By making premium design accessible, we’re continuing our mission to elevate traditional shaving for everyone—from the beginner to the daily enthusiast.
