Benefits:
🌱 Affordable: a pack of 5 replacement blades cost €2.50 in our shop: that's €0.5 per blade, whereas the average price for one replacement plastic cartridge costs €3!
🌱 Reduces waste: the moment you stop using plastic razors you will be contributing less to the plastic that ends up in landfills and kills marine life.
🌱 Better shave: The single blade gives a closer shave and is great for sensitive skin
🌱 Long-lasting: It can last a lifetime and is probably the cheapest way to shave in the long term
🌱 Easy to clean: No more hairs stuck in your razor with this one - just twist the bottom of the handle to loosen or open up the butterfly head and run some water through it - done.
🌱 Zero-waste & eco-friendly: completely recyclable and plastic free
🌱 Unisex: Ladies and gents, do not fear. We have tried this on all parts of our body and it works wonders!
🌱 Plastic free packaging
End of life
Safety razor: The razor should last you a really long time if you take care of it, it's not uncommon for safety razors to be passed onto next generations! If yours doesn't make it that long, you can easily recycle it with metal recycling.
Replacement razor blades: Old replacement blades can also be recycled with metal recycling. Where possible, put old blades inside cans you are also recycling to avoid the risk of someone accidentally hurting themselves
Shaving brush: If possible, re-purpose it! They would be perfect for dusting off computer monitors and keyboards, for example. The handle can be recycled with wood or repurposed. The synthetic hair is made of nylon and should be trimmed and recycled with plastics.
Linen pouch: Linen is a durable material and any small holes that develop over time can generally be mended fairly easily. If it cannot be mended, recycle with textiles.
Soap dish: This eco dish should last you a very long time and can be easily repurposed. If you decide to dispose of it for any reason, you can recycle it with wood. Please remove the grip pads from the bottom and recycle these separately with mixed recycling.
Packaging: Your kit is posted in a Naturebox®, an eco-friendly, compostable box made from 35% domestic grass and 65% waste paper. Dispose of it in your compost bin or organic recycling.
