Cartoon: Disposable razors → Safety razor We come in packsof twelve. Forever.

Instead of

Disposable razors Safety razor

Why switch

Healthier

A single sharp blade means fewer nicks and less irritation for many people.

Greener

One metal razor replaces a whole drawer’s worth of plastic ones.

The impact

You, per year 12 razors
All of the world 97.2 billion razors skipped / year

If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:

  • 97.2 billion razors

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Reduce

One handle for life — you only ever restock thin metal blades.

Reuse

The handle lasts decades. Honestly, you could will it to someone.

Recycle

Collect used blades in a small tin, then recycle the lot as scrap metal.
