Buying Razors in Brazil

Hi all

Just a quick question for anyone already living and shopping in the cities in Brazil.

My husband and I have been in the US for a few years having moved form the UK, and find that razors are not all that easy to come by and are often locked away behind bars, making them a real pain to buy. I was wondering whether this was the same in Brazil, or whether it's a lot easier / less tough on security?

Many thanks for your help - We will be living close to SP!

Thank you very much for the message! And razor blades are not locked away like they are in the US? I can just take from the shelf? This makes shopping much easier and quicker for us!

Hi Sophie, welcome to Brazil!

Actually some shops do keep their higher grade razors locked up either behind bars or inside a alarm box. So, what I usually do to avoid the hassle is just to buy a couple of packs and I'm good for about three months or more as each razor head last at least 20 days. Cheers!

Do you mean Straight Razors? Safety razors are sold on the shelf in both countries. Straight razors are not.
