The forgiving first razor. If you're coming off a five-blade cartridge and worried about nicks, start here — the WÖLFE 97 is a classic three-piece double edge safety razor whose ~97g of weight does the work for you. No need to press, far less chance of catching yourself while you learn. It's the best beginner safety razor in the Stuga range.
At a glance
The weight does the work
That heft is the whole point. The 97 sits heavy and balanced in the hand, so gravity sets the pressure — you just guide it. Three pieces, nothing to break: cap, base, handle. Rinse it, reload it, done.
And the part nobody tells you: a good razor matters more than an expensive blade. The 97's geometry gives a smooth, comfortable shave even on cheap blades — so grab a variety pack, find the one you like, and never feel locked in.
Why it's forgiving~97g of balanced weight presses for you, so you don't. Less pressure, fewer nicks — the easiest safety razor to learn on.

- Is the WÖLFE 97 good for beginners?
- It's the most forgiving razor we stock. The weight removes the urge to press — which is what causes most nicks.

- What blades fit?
- Any standard double-edge (DE) blade — every brand is the same size.
- Should I get the 97 or the 75?
- New to safety razors? The 97's weight is more forgiving. Want fast blade changes and a lighter touch? Go the 75.
- How do I get rid of used blades?
