Safety razors are so much better than cartridges (or disposables). Not only for environmental reasons but it gives me so much less skin irritations. A straight razor is probably even better as there is not waste at all, but I could not really get used to it, because even after about a year it took so much longer and was too difficult around the edges of my face (especially the chin).

Discussing ways to reduce waste and build community!
Celebrate thrift as a virtue, talk about creative ways to make do, or show off how you reused something!
I have never tried a straight razor. I fear I am to careless for that. But then again I was also somewhat scared of the safety razor for the first time using it. Just to find out how easy and unirritating shaving can be with it. Also shaving time is quality time! So I might try the straight blade someday :D
Anybody have non-disposable face razor recommendations? Something I've been meaning to pick up but keep forgetting to.
Leaf shave, best thing ever. It's been years, and it has 3 blades, and it is a great save. And there are so many blades to pick from! leafshave.com
Thanks! I'll check it out!
