FAQ
Straight answers.
What blade does it take?
Half of a standard double-edge (DE) safety razor blade — snapped in two, one edge exposed. Blades not included.
Guide: blade types.
How do I load a blade?
Snap a standard double-edge blade in half along its slot with the wrapper still on, seat one half in the holder with the edge outward, and close the brass plate over it. Check the edge sits parallel before you shave. Step by step: loading a half-DE blade.
Are blades included?
No. Standard double-edge blades are sold everywhere and cost pennies each — order a pack alongside the razor.
Can left-handed barbers use it?
Yes. The handle is symmetrical and works either way round.
How long is it?
12 cm closed, 2.5 cm wide. Full figures on the specification.
Where can I buy it?
Through Amazon UK. Secure checkout, delivery and returns are all Amazon’s. This site takes no payment and is not a shop.
Why is it sold through Amazon?
Because for a bladed product that is the right way to do it. Amazon verifies age at checkout and on delivery, handles returns, and offers delivery a small brand cannot match. Your contract is with the seller on Amazon under Amazon’s terms, and nothing on this site changes your rights in that purchase.
When will Pink + Gold return?
Drop 001 is sold out and returning. We would rather not name a date we might miss. The status shown in the top corner of every page is live.
How do I look after it?
Rinse and dry it after every shave, open. Take the blade out if it is going away for a while. Never put it in a dishwasher. Spent blades go in a blade bank or a sealed rigid tin. Guide: care and storage.
Is there an age restriction?
Yes. Razors and razor blades are age-restricted in the UK and sold to over-18s only. Age is verified through the Amazon checkout and on delivery.
Can I take it on a plane?
Not with a blade fitted — razor blades are not permitted in UK cabin baggage. The handle alone is a different question and airline rules vary; ask your airline.
Something is wrong with mine.
Return it through Amazon, where the sale happened and where your rights sit. Then email [email protected] so we know.
