Traditional Straight Razor

A Greener Shave

Shaving is an everyday routine for many men and an often overlooked place when it comes to caring for the environment. Try the following tips to clean up your act while still enjoying your morning ritual.

Choose shaving soaps or creams made with natural ingredients and no harmful chemicals Some traditional cosmetics use harsh chemical agents to soften (or break down) the skin, and give the impression of nourishment. Skew these in favor of simpler products, made with natural ingredients. Also beware of antibacterial agents, these are non-biodegradable and harmful for you and wildlife.

Manage the Packaging Equation When choosing your shaving cosmetics, one option is to go for bigger packages. They mean more product per container, so less container wastage. Some products will also list how many uses you can expect from each package, so use this information to make an informed choice. In the case of shaving oils, a tiny container goes a long way, so this is an even better option. Check if the container can be recycled. Shy away from pressurized foam cans; they hold little product and are often non-recyclable. Try a hard shaving soap; they require little packaging and last a long time.

Switch to a Greener Razor Disposable razors and blade cartridges are wasteful, non-recyclable and made with petro-chemical compounds. They pile up in landfills and leach chemical agents into the soil. The kindest option in shavers is a straight razor, as its blade can be resharpened instead of disposed of. A double-edge safety razor is also a good choice as their blades produce less waste. Be sure to dispose of used blades safely. You can get tips on how to do this from your local waste management authority.

Keep your Razor Dry Allowing the razor blades to dry between uses will make them last longer. A razor stand will allow your razor to dry naturally while keeping things tidy around your sink.

Watch your water consumption Turn off the tap when not in use. Instead of running the tap, fill your sink or a container with warm water. Use this to dip your shaving brush or clean your razor.

Safety Razor $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A safety razor is a razor where the skin is protected from all but the very edge of the blade. These razors eliminate the possibility of a user being seriously injured by the blade, as is possible with a straight razor. Prior to the invention of the first safety razor most men used a straight razor. These razors are still available today from several different manufacturers, but they are not very popular, because they require more skill and attention to use properly.Described as a razor where a small blade is held in a suitable frame and provided with a guard to prevent the edge of the razor from cutting into the skin, the first American safety razor was patented in 1880 by the Kampfe Brothers. The new razor featured a wire skinguard along the razors edge. Only one side of the actual blade is used to shave, and it must be removed often for sharpening.

Rolls Razor $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rolls Razor Limited was a British company known for its manufacture of a sophisticated safetyrazor and an affordable twintub washing machine. The eponymous product was a sophisticated safetyrazor which came in a metal box designed to allow the blade to be stropped against the lid and thus was not disposable, but unlike the straight razor it incorporated a safety guard and its size was closer to the early Gillette double blade disposable razor. The company wilted in the face of competition from the likes of Gillette. The Rolls trademark, The Whetter, was registered in the U.S. in 1950; the claimed first use was 1922. The U.S. patent for the method of attaching the blade to the handle was filed in 1925 and issued in 1930. The name Rolls Razor (1927) Ltd. was used in advertising. The razor was still manufactured and sold until 1958 when the company was purchased by entrepreneur/corporate raider John Bloom who converted the factory from Rolls Razors to washing machines.

With a mind as sharp as a blade and an old but powerful friend in the city, he's the only man with a hope of finding the killer. If the killer doesn't find him first.
