Double Edge Safety Razor, Silver, EarthBits

THE ECO-FRIENDLY WAY TO SHAVE:  Did you know that about 2 billion single-use razors are thrown away every year? The best way to fight shaving pollution is to say no to single use razors, and switch to a reusable, long lasting safety razor instead. 

MADE WITH STAINLESS STEEL: Most razors that we can find in stores are usually made with plastic or some parts of it. Worse still, they are made with different types of plastics, which makes it nearly impossible to recycle. The solution? A reusable safety razor that will last you a lifetime, especially when made with a sturdy material like stainless steel.

RECYCLABLE STAINLESS STEEL BLADES: This double edge razor comes with a pack of 5 stainless steel blades that can be easily recyclable. When cared for properly, the blades will stay sharper for longer and it will really help not only save money, but also the planet!

EASY GRIP FOR A CLEAN SHAVE REGARDLESS OF EXPERIENCE: If you, like many, are a bit hesitant to use a safety razor, don't be!  These razors are actually really easy to use whether you are just starting to use a safety razor, or if you have shaved for decades. Just follow our quick tips and you will become a master shaver in no time!

HOW TO USE

• Use a shaving soap bar, or shave cream. We like this one because it makes a lovely lather. Apply foam to the skin while ensuring that the area you want to shave is thoroughly wet.
• Take your time, especially if you are a beginner user. Shaving with a safety razor is not difficult, you just need to get used to it!
• Rinse the razor head under hot water before you start, and make sure you rinse it again after every few swipes to remove accumulated shaving foam and hairs.
• Hold the razor at a 30° angle: keep the angle of the head of the razor at about 30 degrees to the surface of the skin. The razor has a safety guard but it doesn’t bend in the same way a disposable razor does, so. Pull loose skin around areas like your knees, ankles and jawline tight to avoid any cuts or nicks.
• Don’t apply too much pressure. This is usually why people cut themselves, just gently take short and smooth strokes on the kin.
• Once done shaving, rinse your skin with cold water and pat dry. Remove any excess hairs and shaving products from the razors with hot water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

MEET EARTHBITS

First off, thank you for visiting our website! We starting our own journey as a zero-waste family with a clear goal in mind to make meaningful changes in our habits and lifestyle; our mantra has always been “have less impact on the planet, create less waste, and become better, more sustainable consumers”.

In our quest to swap plastic or disposable products with durable, plastic-free and less wasteful alternatives, we found there were companies we fell we could trust completely. These companies are now part of the EarthBits family and we are very proud to collaborate with them and showcase their products on this site!

On the other hand, we also found there were a lot of other products that were advertised as “eco-friendly” but didn’t seem to us as sustainable or ethical as we wanted them to be. With that in mind, we decided to launch our own brand of products, sourced from small, often family-run suppliers we can fully trust. All our products have a story to tell, and they have been made with our beautiful Earth in mind! I hope you will love them as much as we do!
