Couldn’t recommend safety razors enough. The handle lasts forever and I worked out that from the pack of razors I bought will last me until the end of my life.
The initial price might seem high but it’s a one time cost for life.
I use the standard merkur shave but there are quite a few options in the link article!
I don’t clean shave anymore, however I completely agree as when I used to shave nothing came close to the comfort, and quality of a safety razor.
Rarely did I ever get any cuts, I remember those shaves being very comfortable.
They truly are a great zero waste swap. I’m a bit skeptical about a lot of the zero waste products but this is a great option.
Also a great feeling buying blades for your safety razor and knowing you’ve bought enough for your own lifetime.
Oh most definitely, and the best part is most safety razors and the razors themselves can be recycled practically anywhere, once you’re done with them (whenever that day comes, these things seem to last forever).
Stuff like this makes me wish I’d still shave, but I just trim and look like a sasquatch in between.
Sounds like your already opting for a zero waste option to me! If you do decide to take it back up again this is a great swap, actually a better shave as well
In a way, yes. But my trimmer is garbage sadly. I need to get a model a barber would use.
Ah, wish I could offer a good trimmer suggestion, a barber model sounds like a good idea. If there is an askmen group here might be worth an ask!
I need askbarbers
Been using one for years, couldn’t agree more. Felt like a much cleaner shave. Never having to buy more blades and the fact the blades are all metal with no plastic was great!
