The secret of a single blade razor
You’ve probably seen it before: the single blade razor. That rectangular metal blade at your (grand)father’s in the bathroom or in a suspenseful prison movie where they are secretly smuggled in by a bunch of lurid (but creative) crooks.
But did you know that shaving with a single blade razor is still a thing? And that it’s actually totally hot right now? “Yeah, for men,” we can hear you thinking.
The single blade razor is also an absolute must-have for women.
It’s not strange if you’ve never held a single blade, also known as a safety razor, in your hands.
We are so used to those cute pink and lilac blades that such a heavy, steel thing can come across as a bit intimidating.
And it can’t be good for sensitive skin at all, right?
Well, surprise: a single blade razor causes less shaving irritation!
Why you should want to shave with a single blade razor
We know them all too well, the stereotypical razors specifically for women. There seems to be no end to the innovations (and the advertisements either).
We are overwhelmed with new features like glitters, bright colors, an even better gel strip, and blades, lots of blades (there are 5 of them now?!).
The more, the better, they want us to believe. But today we’d like to break that illusion.
Less chance of itching and red bumps
More blades do indeed help to shave extra smooth, but unfortunately, you also pay a price for it. With a razor with multiple blades, the first blade actually lifts the hair, so to speak, so that the next one can shave it off even closer.
So you certainly get a smooth result. But this also means that you are scraping over the same piece of skin with four or five sharp blades, one after the other. This damages your skin and increases the chance of itching and red bumps.
A single blade, on the other hand, cuts the hair straight and clean in one go. It takes a bit of practice, but you get used to it quickly and in no time you can enjoy irritation-free shaving!
No risk of clogging
So less really is more. Also when we’re talking about razors. Because the more blades, the more dirt and hairs get stuck. Simply rinsing with water is usually not enough to remove all of this (and no, banging your razor hard against the shower wall doesn’t work either).
And have you ever tried to pick all the junk out with your fingers? Then there’s a good chance you ended up with a bloody hand.
However, you can completely detach the blade of a single blade razor, making it perfect and easy to get clean. And you won’t be bothered by that typical gel strip that sticks to the edge of the bathtub anymore.
Better for the environment
Just imagine. Most women start shaving in their early teens. By the time they approach thirty, they have already worn out dozens, or even hundreds of (disposable) blades. Not to mention the plastic packaging.
Did you know that more than two trillion plastic razors are thrown away worldwide every year?
The blades of a single blade razor, however, are loose metal blades. And each blade is housed in a steel system that lasts the rest of your life. So it’s not only more sustainable and better for the environment, but also cheaper!
An extra advantage is that both the loose blades and the systems come in plastic-free packaging.
A sense of luxury
Are you convinced yet? Or do you still find such a steel device a bit intimidating? Then we can assure you: such a sturdy, shiny razor feels incredibly luxurious.
The handle has a good grip, making it easy to hold, and thanks to the weight, you hardly have to apply any pressure. And doesn’t a single blade razor just look much tougher too?
(Those bright pink razors suddenly start to have a very high Hello Kitty vibe in comparison, don’t they?)

Frequently asked questions about the single blade razor
What is a single blade razor?
A single blade razor, also known as a safety razor, is a reusable metal razor with one loose blade. Unlike disposable razors with multiple blades, it cuts the hair in one clean stroke — which means less irritation for your skin.
Is a single blade razor suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, especially so. Multiple blades scrape over the same skin several times, which causes irritation. A single blade cuts once, putting less stress on your skin. Perfect if you suffer from red bumps or itching after shaving.
How long does a blade last?
A YIONN blade lasts 10 to 15 shaves. One pack of blades is enough for four months of daily shaving.
Is it difficult to shave with a single blade razor?
It takes a little getting used to, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly. The weight of the razor does the work — you don’t have to apply any pressure yourself. After a few times, you’ll feel the difference straight away.
Which body parts is the single blade razor suitable for?
The YIONN single blade razor is suitable for legs, underarms and the bikini line.
Whether or not to shave is a choice; fortunately, shaving irritation is now one too!
YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step in your shaving routine!
You’re fed up with it. Time and again, those red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after hair removal on your bikini line, armpits, and legs.
You feel frustrated and anything but sexy. No woman should have to feel that way. And that includes you.
First of all, I want to reassure
you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your skin.
It’s actually just doing what it’s supposed to do. It reacts to the stress of hair removal, which causes all sorts of unwanted side effects, such as itching and red bumps.
Not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a helping hand.
And that is exactly what YIONN products
do!

YIONN Raka is truly a top product! A gentle solution for those annoying, painful ingrown hairs, especially when combined with the scrub.

I thought: you know what, I’ll just give it a try! OMG!!! I really should have done that sooner. I’m 37 now and for the first time, I dare to wear a bikini bottom with pride
. What a miracle cure! Not a single bit of irritation to be found. It’s still bizarre. And I really suffered from it.
Nikkie zijlstra
A product that does what it promises, easy to use. I now have almost all the products and won’t use anything else.
Alice
After 2 weeks, I already noticed a difference. Almost no bumps and itching anymore after shaving. I’m definitely going to try more products.
Patricia Tikar
I’ve often used things like this but they never helped me, even though others were always satisfied with them, and I felt the same about
this product too, but I ordered it anyway and it took a bit longer for me, but it definitely helped!
Maria Ilgun
Much less irritation and bumps. The shaving gel and Raka are truly my favorites; last time I bought shaving foam out of necessity and immediately got bumps
and irritation again…

Free from your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back
That is my promise to you!
From certified nurse to hair removal expert:
I’m Wendy, the founder of YIONN. I know better than anyone what it’s like to go through life with shaving discomforts.
After desperately trying all sorts of ways and remedies for red shaving bumps and ingrown hairs and spending a lot of money, I was
sick of it.
I decided to find a solution for my shaving irritation myself that actually worked, and I succeeded!
I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor, and willow bark. By applying a thin layer to the problem area, it easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps, and lets the hair grow out again—instead of in.
And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurity and discomfort.
Hallelujah.
When it later turned out that Raka worked not only for me but also for many other women, I started creating several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.
And because I am so convinced of how it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case that you aren’t satisfied, I came up with the unique YIONN 30-day money-back guarantee (a guarantee you normally never get on hygiene products).
