Shave Dad × Alpha Shaving Works Aluminum Safety Razor
A Shave Dad razor, machined by Alpha
The Shave Dad × Alpha Shaving Works Aluminum Safety Razor is a 100-piece limited run designed in collaboration with Jerry Plesi (Shave Dad) and built by Steve Tenner at Alpha Shaving Works. It is a closed-comb DE — distinct from Alpha’s well-known Outlaw — with its own head geometry, branded baseplate, and a finish chosen specifically for this release.

How it shaved
This razor was reviewed across the community at launch — Sig Solo called it “much-anticipated” and was clear that this is not an Outlaw rebrand, the head geometry is different. Several reviewers paired it with Astra Greens (a frequent Shave Dad-group recommendation) and reported a smooth, controlled shave from a deceptively light aluminum frame.
At ~45 grams it’s an aluminum razor in the same class as the Henson AL13 or Goodfellas’ Styletto — light, nimble, narrow head, kind to a beginner’s pressure habits but with enough gap (0.70) to clear coarse stubble in two passes.
