Question 1

What is the Nomad razor made of?

Accepted Answer

Two materials only: a handle of high-density pressed bamboo (uncoated — no lacquers, films or resin coatings) and a twin blade of S304 stainless steel held by mechanical steel tension. There are no adhesives, plastic hinges or synthetic binders anywhere in the product.

Question 2

Is the Nomad really 100% plastic-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The razor contains 0.00% plastic by design. Most razors marketed as eco-friendly still rely on plastic hinges, synthetic glues or invisible resin coatings; the Nomad eliminates all of them. Standard packaging is a compostable kraft paper pouch, so the product remains plastic-free through the entire supply chain.

Question 3

Is the razor biodegradable or compostable?

Accepted Answer

The pressed-bamboo handle is fully biodegradable and compostable at end of life. The stainless-steel blade is not compostable but oxidizes safely over time and is recyclable where steel recovery streams exist. No microplastics are left behind at any stage.

Question 4

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Accepted Answer

Our standard MOQ is 100,000 units. Lower MOQs may be workable on request, with special pricing terms — tell us about your programme via the enquiry form and we will confirm what is possible.

Question 5

How many units fit in a shipping container?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 500,000 units pack into a standard 20ft container. Bulk packing is optimized for freight efficiency, which keeps the landed cost per unit competitive at volume. A first order at MOQ is roughly a fifth of a container.

Question 6

Can we private label or white label the razor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private label and white label supply are both available. Your brand name, logo or artwork can be laser-etched directly into the bamboo handle — a permanent, chemical-free process with no inks, plastics or coatings — and the kraft paper pouch can be custom printed with your brand colours, logo and regulatory text.

Question 7

What packaging options are available?

Accepted Answer

Standard packaging is a fully compostable, plastic-free kraft paper pouch. Options include custom print with eco-friendly water-based inks on recycled or FSC-certified stock, unbleached paper wrap, kraft paper boxes, or bulk packing for kit assembly and institutional programmes.

Question 8

How does the shave quality compare to plastic disposables?

Accepted Answer

The Nomad is a twin-blade disposable using S304 medical-grade stainless steel. High-pressure pressed bamboo gives the handle the weight, balance and structural rigidity of industrial plastic, so the shave experience matches or exceeds premium synthetic disposables.

Question 9

Is bamboo antibacterial?

Accepted Answer

Peer-reviewed laboratory studies (Ramful et al., Antibiotics 2022; Afrin et al., BJSTR 2020) found that natural bamboo material reduced bacteria by 8–95% across tested species, including E. coli and S. aureus, due to naturally occurring phenolic and lignin compounds. This is a complementary material benefit rather than a substitute for clinical disinfection, and processing can alter these properties.

Question 10

Who is the Nomad razor designed for?

Accepted Answer

Trade buyers only — we are strictly B2B. Typical partners are hotel amenity distributors, hotel chains and eco-resorts, airline amenity kit assemblers, cruise lines, institutional and healthcare suppliers, and retailers or wholesalers seeking a plastic-free disposable razor at volume.

Question 11

Does the Nomad help with single-use plastic regulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is its core purpose. With the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive in force, nationwide bans in countries such as India and Canada, and the UN projecting 90+ countries with single-use plastic bans by 2027, the Nomad is a drop-in replacement for plastic disposable razor SKUs that requires no consumer behaviour change.

Question 12

What are the lead times?

Accepted Answer

Production lead times vary with order volume and customization (laser engraving and custom-printed packaging add setup steps). Request a quote with your volumes and target dates and we will confirm a production schedule.

Question 13

Can we get samples before ordering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select “Sample request” in the enquiry form and include your company details and shipping address, and our trade team will arrange samples so you can evaluate the shave quality and materials first-hand.

Question 14

Who makes the Nomad razor?

Accepted Answer

The Nomad is designed and manufactured by GSA, a Hong Kong based designer and manufacturer of razors and shaving hardware. GSA supplies trade partners worldwide; enquiries are handled directly by the GSA trade team.

Question 15

How is pricing structured?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is quoted per programme and depends on volume, customization and packaging choices, with significant breaks for large-volume orders. Request a quote through the enquiry form for exact figures.
