Recycling Advice

The following guide explains how you can recycle your shaving heads and machines.

Recycling Shaving Heads and Blades

The metal blades, screws and plastic casing can technically be recycled but please check your local authority guidelines for accurate information. 

Please note, dismantling the shaving heads is done at your own risk and safety precautions should be followed. Keep loose parts away from children and stored safely prior to disposal. 

1. Sphynx and Bold Eagle shaving heads

  • Open the compartment head and release the blade holder. The individual metal blade guards can then be removed and recycled with scrap metal.
  • The plastic blade holders can be pulled out.
  • You can also choose to remove the rubber casing on the back of the shaving head, remove the screws to release the plastic part that protects the mechanism. The plastic cogs can be removed and recycled with the plastic casing.
Any remaining parts that contain plastic and metal, such as the cutting elements of the blade, can't be recycled and should be disposed in general waste.

2. BoldGlider Shaving Head

  • Separate the two parts of the shaving head
  • Remove the rubber casing on the back of the shaving head to reveal the screws, remove the screws to release the plastic part that protects the mechanism. The plastic cogs can be removed and recycled with the plastic casing.
  • Use a small screwdriver to remove the magnets by pushing them through from one side. Ensure these are stored safely ahead of disposal.
  • Any remaining parts that contain plastic and metal, can't be recycled and should be disposed in general waste.

BoldGlider Instructions

Small amounts of disused magnets can be discarded with your regular household rubbish. Larger quantities should be taken to a scrap metal recycling centre. To be sure, confirm with local authorities how the disposal of magnets is regulated in your area.


Recycling Electrical Machines

Electrical machines, including electric razors and trimmers, fall under the category of electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste contains valuable materials and harmful substances that need to be processed properly.

To recycle your Bold Shave electrical machines, find a certified electronic waste recycling centre in your area. These facilities have the expertise to handle and recycle electronic products safely.
