Most disposable razors are made with plastic, packed in plastic and need regular wasteful razor blade replacement.
Hence, as a Zero waste champion, try out a safety razor option instead.
The EcoElephant Safety Razor is an all-metal razor with a durable handle and double-sided blade. In a safety razor instead of throwing away the whole head to change the blade, the blade alone is removable and replaceable. The blade access is standard, where you screw off the whole head to remove the blade.
The Razor is made of zinc alloy and is hard chromed. It is 11.5 cm long and weighs 99gm. This razor gives a great grip and more control.
After shaving take the blade out of the razor. Rinse and clean. Store the razor and blade separately in a dry place. With proper care, this razor can last you a lifetime.

How to shave?
Prepare the area with some lukewarm water & lather up with the shaving soap.
Slowly allow the head of the razor against the area to be shaved and glide across the area without pressing it into the skin. Try adjusting the angle to find out the most suitable ways for you. 30 degree angle works quite well. After shaving , wash the shaved area with clean water and wipe the area with clean cloth. Moisturize the skin with a natural cream or body butter.
Safety razors are a sustainable and beautiful alternative to disposable razors. These make thoughtful gifts too.
