Safety razors!

I've been using this for a while now and am very pleased with it.

There is absolutely no plastic involved and it's practically waste free! I bought mine on amazon, but I know they are available in many stores: Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart just to name a few. Some other online options are: zerowastecartel.com and zerowastestore.com.

Be sure to soap up though when you use the safety razor or use a nice environmentally friendly shaving cream. I can do my underarms in the shower, but prefer to shave my legs outside of the shower. This is just because I don't want to waste water and in order to get the best angle for shaving. The shavers don't have a pivoting head, so it's all about the correct angle. It's a good idea to maybe watch a youtube video on how to use them, just to make sure you have the right idea. Below is a little gif showing how to open and insert the blades.

It's ridiculous to use disposable, plastic razors that add to landfills when this option is available. Unfortunately millions of razors end up in landfills every year. MILLIONS. They are not recyclable.

So, consider purchasing one of these safety razors. They last for years and years and if you end up needing to get a new one, it is recyclable!

Please feel free to add a comment with your experience or with any questions you may have. It's always great to share!

Thanks!
