Safety razors are a reusable product that's built to last, unlike typical plastic models. With proper care, a safety razor can last a lifetime.

The refillable blades are also a more sustainable (and significantly cheaper!) option to disposible cartridges. Constructed of 100% metal, they're also recyclable, but make sure to use a razor bank for safety. Disposable cartridges are made of various materials, mostly plastic, and are destined for the landfill.

Our solid shaving soap is also a substantial eco-swap, as they're a zerowaste product instead of metal, aerosol, or plastic bottles.

1) Take a hot shower, use a hot towel, or rinse your skin with hot water to make your hair soft.

2) Wet your shaving brush, and lather up the shaving soap bar in the bowl. Alternatively, lather up your shaving soap bar as you would with normal bar soap.

3) Using a mirror and your safety razor with a sharp blade, pull your skin tight and hold your razor at a 35-40 degree angle.

4) Shave in the direction that your hair grows with gentle, short and slow passes with your blade at a 90 degree angle.

5) Rinse your blade as required, and feel free to apply more shaving lather. The more, the better.

6) For your second pass, you'll shave across the grain of your hair growth.

7) If you have very thick hair, reapply your lather and do a third pass against the grain of your hair growth.

8) To finish shaving, rinse your face with cold water and pat dry. Thoroughly rinse your razor and shaving brush clean, then allow to air dry on the shaving stand.
