Awards
Distinctive design has always been a core value of Bolin Webb. We want to create great razors and accessories. Nothing less really satisfies our ambition to make a difference with products that stand out and are remembered.
On our journey, we have attracted the attention of those judging design on a global stage - design from electronics to cars and homeware, to name but a few categories. And, yes, razors too, although we did not expect to become what some call a “serial winner” of design awards.
Bolin Webb now has a wide collection of design and brand awards, which is a remarkable endorsement of our work. We are proud of our track record in design. These international accolades encourage us to keep on striving for excellence.
iF Design Award 2023

Generation Razor was endorsed by the 133-member jury, made up of independent design experts from all over the world. The organisers describe the competition as intense: almost 11,000 entries were submitted from 56 countries.
iF writes: "With simplicity at its core and distractions minimised, focus is placed on the weight, balance and experience of shaving whilst using easily available shaving heads. Using high quality materials, the simple extruded and machined metal form belies a carefully weighted, exquisitely crafted, and balanced design."
More information about Generation razor can be found in the “ALL Winners” section on iF Design. The razor set was designed for Bolin Webb by PDR of Cardiff Metropolitan University PDR
