When we launched our original Albatross safety razor, we didn’t expect it to become a movement the way it did. But it did. People all over the world resonated with the message of zero waste, plastic-free shaving. Our razor became a symbol of thoughtful design and practical activism– that is, actually discovering a better shave at an unbeatable price. Kind of like sticking it to the man but better vibes than that!
That’s what led to the creation of the Butterfly Turbo Razor. This idea that we can find ways to innovate, and stay within the supreme design constraints of a double-edged safety razor.
We knew we could improve ease of use, speed, and performance—without compromising sustainability. We thought about what our customers might want. Did they want a razor that would fit seamlessly into both slow rituals and fast mornings? We thought maybe, and got to work.
The Butterfly Turbo Razor is everything we’ve learned, refined and rebuilt. With a simple push-to-open mechanism, it opens cleanly and securely, making blade replacement intuitive and safe—even for first-time safety razor users. The re-engineered head is precision-calibrated to hold the blade tighter, which reduces vibration and gives you better control during the shave.
Weight distribution was another upgrade. By shifting the balance slightly lower in the handle, the Butterfly Turbo gives you more feedback and less pressure on the skin, which reduces nicks, irritation, and razor burn. The grip was improved too—now with subtle texturing to prevent slips in wet hands, without overcomplicating the aesthetic and still maintaining a connection to our art deco style roots.
And yes—it’s still completely plastic-free.
The Turbo isn’t a departure from our roots. It’s an evolution. It’s what happens when a small team listens closely, obsesses over the details, and stays relentlessly committed to purpose. It’s the razor we wanted when we first started Albatross, but couldn’t yet build. Until now.
We built it for people who care. About their skin. About their planet. About their mornings.
Some people think eco-products are about sacrifice. Less function. Less beauty. The Butterfly Turbo proves otherwise. It’s sharper, sleeker, faster, and smarter. It holds its own against any high-end grooming tool—except it won’t end up in the ocean.
That’s what makes it a game changer.
It’s not just a better razor. It’s a better way to live.
