Patriot Shave Razors: What the Brand Actually Sells

Razor handle and blade cartridges arranged on a countertop for a patriot shave razor overview

Patriot Shave does not sell a double edge safety razor. The brand’s core product is a patriotism-branded cartridge system called Freedom, built on 3-blade, 4-blade, and 5-blade refill cartridges that click onto interchangeable handles.

If you found Patriot Shave while comparing mild vs aggressive razors, the lineup will not slot into that spectrum. It lives in the cartridge category, and the brand also stocks a separate box of double edge blades for shavers who already own a safety razor.

The Freedom Handle and Cartridge Lineup

Per the brand’s own product pages, handles ship in several finishes. The Air Razor Handle starts at $6.00. The Blue Razor Handle and the Forged Razor Handle each start at $10.00. A Handle Variety Pack with multiple styles starts at $14.00.

Refill cartridges come in 3-blade, 4-blade, and 5-blade versions, sold in 8, 12, or 16-count boxes. Patriot Shave lists its 5-blade, 8-pack refill at $20.00 direct and states the cartridges are manufactured in Germany. No subscription is required, though a discounted subscribe option is offered at checkout.

Freedom Refills Against a Mainstream Cartridge Baseline

The table below sets Patriot Shave’s own published numbers next to Gillette Fusion5, the most common cartridge razor reference point, using a street price from a named retailer.

Product Blade Count Pack Size Price Source
Patriot Shave Freedom refill (5-blade) 5 blades per cartridge 8-pack $20.00 patriotshave.com
Gillette Fusion5 refill 5 blades per cartridge 8-count $19.94 to $24.99 street price Walmart
Patriot Shave Air Razor Handle n/a 1 handle from $6.00 patriotshave.com
Patriot Shave Battle Brothers DE blades 1 blade per DE blade 50-pack $25.00 patriotshave.com

The cartridge refill pricing lands close to Fusion5 at full retail, though Patriot Shave sells direct with no in-store markup layered on top.

The Battle Brothers Blades Sold Alongside the Cartridges

Patriot Shave also sells a 50-count box of Battle Brothers double edge blades, described by the brand as stainless steel and made in the USA. At $25.00 per box, that covers roughly a year of blades for one shaver changing weekly.

These blades load into a standard double edge holder, the same style used across the picks in this site’s beginner safety razor guide. They do not fit the Freedom cartridge handles, since the two systems use different blade geometry.

What Happened to the Old 1776 Line

Patriot Shave’s product pages reference an earlier line called 1776. The brand now offers a free swap to a Freedom handle and blades for anyone still holding 1776 gear, according to current listings.

Common Questions About Patriot Shave

Is Patriot Shave a safety razor brand?

No. Its main lineup is the Freedom cartridge system. It sells double edge blades separately, but not a double edge handle.

Can Patriot Shave cartridges fit other handles?

The brand markets the Freedom cartridges as compatible across its own handle styles. It does not publish compatibility claims for other manufacturers’ handles.

Do Patriot Shave’s DE blades work in any safety razor?

Yes. The Battle Brothers blades are standard double edge blades, which load into any three-piece or twist-to-open safety razor built for that format.
