We wanted to offer a basic, sustainably made handle to go along with Mach3™ blades — the razor blades that we, and many others see as the best blades available.
They’re not fancy, offer good value (especially when coupled with our “non sanctioned” technique to extend blade life 3-5x), and are made with the best steel and sharpest blades for a clean, smooth shave — and long-lasting blade.
How to use
-
Slip the Akamai Razor Handle into a Mach3™ cartridge until it clicks.
-

Tips
- Our handle holds up well in the shower, however, storing it outside of the shower will allow it, and more importantly, the blade, to properly dry. Like any wooden utensil, it should not soak in water.
Our recipe for a smart, simplified shave?
-
Akamai Razor Handle made from FSC sustainably harvested beechwood.

Q: How can I extend the life of my razor blades (50-75 or more uses)?
-
Start with a high-quality blade, the best we found is Gillette Mach3... (Superior engineering and the highest quality stainless steel blades deliver an outstanding shave while staying sharper longer).
-
Rinse the blades thoroughly with hot water until clean.
-
Shake off excess water and tap the back of the cartridge on a towel. You can also blow into the back of the cartridge head to push out water.
-
Rub the front of the cartridge upward on towel 3-5x.
