The VIGIL Razor. An adjustable double-edge safety razor in smooth steel. Eight settings, a single blade, built to outlast you.
Why a single blade beats five. Below is a slice of skin, every stroke a hair, shaved by both at once. Scroll, or drag across it, to make the pass.
The cartridgeFive blades. The first pulls each hair up, the next cuts it, and the stub sinks back under the skin.The VIGIL razorA single sharp blade at thirty degrees. It cuts each hair once, level with the skin, and moves on.A cut at the skin line, not above it. Smoother to the hand, and it lasts longer into the day.
A single edge over the skin instead of five, and no hair pulled out and left trapped. For most men, far fewer red bumps and ingrown hairs.
A VIGIL blade costs fourteen cents. A cartridge costs about €3.80. That is the difference over a year of shaving five days a week.
A solid steel razor that outlives you, and blades of plain steel. Nothing of ours ends up in a landfill or the sea.
Turn the dial under the head. The blade opens a fraction of a millimetre at a time, from a gentle first shave to a week of beard.

Before a squire was knighted he was bathed, shaved clean and left alone in a cold chapel to keep watch until dawn. They called it the vigil. In the morning came the accolade, the flat of a sword on the shoulder.
We made a razor for that night. Every morning is the night before something.
