The High Noon by Western Razor is a three-piece double edge safety razor.

It consists of a handle, cap, and clamp. The blade sits between the cap and the clamp. That’s all there is to it!

The assembled razor weighs approximately 4.1 oz (116 grams).

The assembled razor dimensions are 4.15” tall (standing) x 1.08” wide x 1.614” long.

The handle itself is a few hairs short of 4” in length (~3.9”).

All three parts of the razor (cap, clamp, and handle) are made from chrome-plated zinc— or other plating or finish depending on the product model. All metal; no plastic.

Each razor comes in a box that includes the razor itself (cap, clamp, and handle) and five (5) double edge razor blades.

Our razors use standard double edge razor blades.

We recommend our blades which you can purchase here, but those of any brand should work as well.

Just some shaving cream or soap! Give Caswell-Massey Shave Cream a shot or use whichever one you already use and apply it however you wish, by hand or with a brush.

Yes! Every part of our razors are made—start to finish—in the United States from our own designs. And as if that weren’t enough, the packaging and blades are made in the United States as well. In fact, everything we sell is made in the USA!

Check with your local jurisdiction for the recommended disposal or recycling methods of double edge razor blades. For example, in Boston, the official Boston Public Works website recommends putting used blades “in your trash container (barrel or bags) for disposal.”

However, to help protect your friendly neighborhood trash man, we recommend collecting the used blades in a “blade bank” or case and then when you have collected a bunch, wrapping them in tape and disposing of them together so there’s less likelihood they cut through the trash bag or harm any trash handlers. As a reminder, please be careful when handling any blades, including old and used ones.

A single blade should last around 5-7 shaves, although this depends on a number of variables such as thickness of hair and amount of surface area shaved. When you start to feel the blade “tug” at the hair, that usually means it’s time for a new blade!

Razor blades are never allowed in carry-on luggage for flights per TSA regulations. Securely wrap and put them in your checked luggage if you want to take them with you.

The razor itself is in theory okay to fly in your carry-on without any blades (as of this writing). However, we have heard reports that some folks have had their razor confiscated at security. We recommend reviewing the TSA website for the most up-to-date info on what is allowed in your luggage and packing the razor disassembled to reduce the likelihood that TSA has to check it for blades.

TSA security protocols can and do change and ultimately the final decision on what is allowed through security is up to the TSA agent, so attempting to take a razor through security in your carry-on is at your own risk! We recommend putting your razor along with the blades into your checked luggage if that’s an option.

Yes! Safety razors work just as well for shaving your head as they do for shaving your face (or any other parts of your body)!

Yes! Safety razors work great for women as well. They work just like—or better than, in our humble opinion—any other razor on other parts of the body like legs and underarms.
