About The Clean Shave

We Just Wanted a Clean Razor

The Clean Shave started with a small, annoying problem and two people stubborn enough to fix it.

Our story

Like anyone who shaves, we were tired of the same morning routine: a razor instantly clogged with hair and cream, a messy sink, and expensive blades thrown in the trash way too soon.

But for us, the breaking point came while serving in the Navy. Shaving daily in tight ship quarters with limited time and poor water pressure made us realize that nothing on the market actually cleaned a razor. So, we decided to build it ourselves.

We launched the first Razor Rinser® on Kickstarter and raised $69,352. For our second version, our community showed up even bigger, raising over $153,000 and completely selling out.

Today, more than 12,000 people, no matter what, where, or how they shave, have upgraded to a cleaner, easier shave. Featured in Navy Times, The Wall Street Journal, and How I Built This, we are proud to introduce our complete system: the upgraded Razor Rinser® 2.0, our blade-saving Strop, and specialized Shave Bombs.

From sink mess to 12,000+ shavers

The idea

A sink that was never built to clean a razor

Two friends, years of Navy shaves, and the same daily mess. The first Razor Rinser® started on a workbench.
