Just a couple of weeks ago I shared a blog post about ways to banish plastic from your bathroom. We should all be doing little things to help our planet. Single-use plastics and non-reusable health and beauty items are a massive contributor to global land and sea pollution. 8 to 10 million tons of waste is projected to enter the ocean each year unless we take action, and fast!
Recently I was helped out a little in talking a step to being a bit more eco-friendly, I was sent a plastic free bamboo safety razor from the Clear Confidence Company.
Clear Confidence is all about health - your health, the health of the planet and all its inhabitants including animals. All of their products are 100% vegan and cruelty free. Sustainability is their top priority and they take their ethical and environmental obligations seriously.
Disposable plastic razors have a terrible environmental impact, conventional re-usable metal razors still use non-recyclable cartridges and are wasteful and expensive. There is a better, more ethical alternative out there and this is it.
The plastic-free bamboo safety razor can elevate your shaving experience to a new level. It’s authentic, effective and sustainably manufactured using natural materials.
The bamboo handled re-usable razor is crafted from ethically sourced highly sustainable bamboo. It is not only extremely hardwearing but also aesthetically beautiful and elegant. It really is beautiful.
As it is suitable for both men and women Stu and I did have a little discussion about who should try this out. I am writing this blog post so the obvious choice was me. hehehe Using a real blade did scare me a little and this did seem heavier and bigger to hold than a disposable razor but after a few minutes of shaving my legs I soon got used to it. It gave a really good shave. It is said to give a professional shave free from ingrown hairs or other irritations and so far so good. I am glad I have made the change as it's going to be far cheaper in the long run.
It can be refilled with standard high quality double edged razor blades that cost around 10p per blade instead of £2 or more, which is the cost of conventional razor blade cartridges. The plastic free razor double edge safety razor with bamboo handle costs £14.97 which might seem expensive but in the long run it will end up you saving money.
This would make a fantastic gift for anyone who shaves especially when paired with the Plastic Free Shaving Brush with Ash Wooden Handle costing £14.97 also from The Clear Confidence Co.
I was sent the Plastic Free Bamboo Safety Razor free of charge in exchange for this blog post.
This looks great! It's always nice to see an alternative to plastic.
