About Badger & Quill
The solution to the South African shaving crisis.
Badger & Quill was born as a solution to a problem that many aren’t even aware exists – overpriced razors offering subpar shaves. Spending up to R200 per month on shaving has become the norm for many of us as we simply have no other option.
We at Badger & Quill believe that quality does not need to come at a price. Our goal is to redefine “normal.” We offer South Africans the best shave of their lives, while leaving money in their pockets they otherwise would not have had to spoil themselves.
Being passionate surfers and ocean lovers, we at Badger & Quill care about our impact on the environment and the ocean in particular. Our safety razors incorporate a plastic-free design, while the packaging is also plastic-free to limit our impact on the plastic pollution plaguing our oceans.
We look forward to leveling up your shaving experience.

"But aren't safety razors scary?"
Well, not actually.
Safety razors are very easy to use once you have mastered the technique, so simple in fact that they do the work for you. The technique (as shown in this video by the ‘Art of Manliness’) involves letting the weight of the razor do the shaving instead of applying pressure yourself. This ensures that you do not get any nicks and that you get the cleanest shave possible.
Let shaving become something you look forward to with Badger & Quill.

The environment will thank you for making the change.
Our ocean is severely polluted by plastic waste. At Badger & Quill we make it our responsibility to protect the environment.
Plastic disposable razors are the new plastic straws – the name ‘disposable’ says it all. These razors are are near impossible to recycle and the sad truth is that these products end up polluting our oceans.
In this world of impermanence, our safety razor is built to last. The wood and metal construction ensures that you can get countless uses from your safety razor without ever having to throw any plastic away.
Make the change today. Protect our oceans. Choose Badger & Quill.
