Hey earth muffins! Shaving is a regular grooming activity for many individuals; but, the disposable plastic razors often used contribute to environmental waste. A much better alternative is the safety razor. With a durable, reusable design, these razors offer a sustainable and cost-effective way to achieve a close shave while minimizing waste. If you’re new to using a safety razor or looking for tips to enhance your experience, here are some helpful suggestions:
1. Pick a high quality razor and blades
Without a good razor and blades you won’t be able to get a nice shave. Safety razors come in different styles, designs, and handle lengths. In addition, you want to pick one made of a metal that will last you many years. I personally purchased this safety razor (affiliate link) back in 2018 – it is still in perfect condition! Also opt for higher quality blades (like these from Astra) as well.

What I Love About This Eyeliner
The first thing I adore about this eyeliner is the fact that it is truly sustainable. This company lives and breathes their sustainability values (which I fully support!). The eyeliner comes in a little glass jar with a metal top. They even give you an option to get it with a bamboo eyeliner brush or to avoid the brush and just use one you already have. After you use up the product, you can either reuse the jar (perhaps for another makeup product) or participate in Zerra’s container return program. Such a great zero waste brand!
