Being new to DE shaving I was a little apprehensive about using an adjustable razor but the Rockwell T2 is simply superb in every way, easy to adjust, perfectly weighted, and inspires confidence when cranked all the way to 6 to plough off several days of growth, highly recommend!
Excellent service from start to finish,I was
looking for a particular brand of shaving cream, and I found it at Shaving time.
Very reasonable postage and the item was very well pack,I will definitely use Shaving Time again.
One of my favourite soaps. The soap lathers very quickly and gives a great cushion to the face while shaving. Its very slick and has the great scent of Shulton Old Spice with a touch of menthol. I will certainly buy this soap again.
A bit smaller than the bowl I've been using but plenty of room for the brush to move around and the dimpled surface helps generate lather . . which stays in place. A bonus is that by leaving the bowl floating in the basin the hot water keeps the lather pleasantly warm
Fairly light, nice textures on the handle to prevent slipping with wet hands. Tightening mechanism for blade is very nice, much better than others. Definitely the nicest razor I’ve ever used. Takes a bit of practice to use, but once you’ve mastered the art, the shave is very close and comfortable
I wanted a reasonably priced SE razor and they seemed to be very hard to find in the UK. I sent Jay an email as they always seemed out of stock so when he got one he let me know so I could get it.
The only unfortunate thing was they were out of stock of the blades so I had to wait a while to try the razor.
Safety: Even dull blades pose a serious risk for injury if disposed of improperly
Environmental impact: Unlike plastic razors, metal blades are recyclable and have a far lower carbon footprint
2. Step-by-Step: Safe Blade Collection
Option A: Use Original Blade Packaging
Many safety blade packs (e.g., Feather) include a built-in “used blade store” compartment that securely holds up to 10 blades. Option B: Buy a Blade Disposal Tin.
Designed to hold up to 100+ blades, these sealed tins can be recycled with the blades inside.
Option C: DIY Blade Bank
Use a sturdy jar or metal tin labelled “Used Razor Blades,” with a narrow slot for disposal. Seal and label when full.
3. Where to Recycle in the UK
Local Recycling Centres
Most UK councils accept metal razor blades at their Household Recycling Centres (also known as scrap metal bins). Always check with your local authority first. You can mail in items via TerraCycle or Gillette.
Gillette partners with TerraCycle: sign up to receive free secure packaging, send via Royal Mail, and blades are recycled for free
4. Recycling Cartridge & Disposable Razors
These often contain plastic, rubber, and adhesive — most councils do not recycle them.
Best to wrap them securely and dispose of them in household waste if no recycling program is available
5. UK Recycling Rules & Updates (2026 Onward)
Starting March 31, 2026, metal collection will be standard via kerbside recycling across England. Until then, most blades still require drop-off at recycling centres.
6. Tips for Readers
✔ Always label containers clearly to warn handlers of sharp contents
✔ Avoid tossing loose blades into bins—this risks injury and contamination.
✔ Encourage barbers or fellow wet shavers to recycle too—collective impact matters.
