Astor Razor Blades

Astor is a long-standing brand in the shaving industry, particularly recognized for its stainless steel double-edge razor blades. Originally hailing from Greece, the brand built a solid reputation for offering reliable quality at an accessible price point, making it a staple in traditional wet shaving communities across Europe and the Middle East.

Over the decades, the ownership and production of Astor have transitioned through industry consolidations. The brand was historically associated with the Greek company BIC Violex, a major manufacturer of shaving products. Today, Astor is part of the global portfolio of the BIC Group, which has centralized its production in various high-tech facilities across the globe. While the brand maintains its Greek heritage, modern manufacturing is distributed across BIC's international production network.

As of 2026, Astor remains under the ultimate ownership of BIC, a French multinational corporation. BIC is globally renowned for its leadership in stationary, lighters, and shavers. The company continues to manage Astor as a specialized brand within its grooming division, ensuring that the legacy of Greek razor craftsmanship remains available to consumers worldwide.
