In the state of Texas, the only professional that is legally allowed to use a straight edge razor is a professional barber. This is because these razors require a certain level of skill to provide the closest shave without endangering the person receiving the shave. At our school we train our students how to offer a close shave with the safest straight razor shaving techniques. This includes learning how to prepare the skin with a hot towel, how to hold the blade safely, and more.

According to Texas Dept. of Licensing and Regulation – TDLR, Cosmetology operators may shave a person’s neck, mustache and beard using a safety razor. This will not offer the same quality of grooming as shaving with a stainless steel straight razor.

A safety razor is a razor that is fitted with a guard close to the cutting edge of the razor. The guard is intended to prevent the razor from cutting too deeply and reduces the risk and incidence of accidental cuts.

• – Safety razors MUST include a guard close to the cutting edge.
• – Cosmetology operators may NOT shave using a straight razor.
• – Common disposable razors like those sold at retail stores DO fit the definition of “safety razor.”

If you are looking to provide the highest quality grooming services for your clients, you will want to be trained in shaving with a straight razor.
