Shaving

Safety razor shaving has become increasingly popular in recent times. This is definitely due to peoples awakening of plastic in our sea. As the seas are all linked this is a global problem. Despite 90 percent of the issue coming from several rivers that aren’t in Europe. We at Edward’s strive to do our bit. It turns out that number seven of consumerable plastic products. Which are most pollutant are shaving products. This includes the disposable Bic type razor. Also the cartridge razor which is the prevailing razor of modern times.

Traditional shaving is non plastic. However one thing to watch is packaging if you are a purist. At Edward’s we sell a range of blades that are cardboard packed. The blades are single material steel. These items are pretty much thin enough too biodegrade in landfill. Unlike it’s plastic predecessor which cells end up in the sea. Then back onto our plates in fishes stomachs.

The only real danger of safety razor blades is them cutting bin mens hands. Also storage in your house is important as you dont want toddlers opening up paper blade packets. Or a greater crime is if you just leave them lying around open. Before I throw an old blade away, I always rap it in the new blades packet. Then that will go straight into the bin.
