Learned what a waste those Gilette razors are. I'm going classic.

@bouncepaw i've really liked the henderson, but probably any safety razor would be better :)
(personally i've found having razor blades laying around hasn't been *great* for my mental health, but ymmv!)

@bouncepaw welcome to the classic razor club. Brush, soap, and blade.

@jameschip soap? What do you mean soap? Are you saying I don't need that funky foam???

@bouncepaw @jameschip Nah, shaving soap is way better.

I mean, I should know, I shave only about once every 5 years or so.

@bouncepaw good bar of shaving soap and a brush. No more need for cans of weird fluff. And a bar of soap lasts for ages.

@bouncepaw oh, yeah, sorry. A half decent shaving brush and block of shaving soap will get you far. I don't know what is available near you but Mhule and Edwin Jagger make some very good vegan shaving soaps.

The initial setup for a classic shave can be quite steep but the long term saving is huge. I bought 250 blades for about Β£10 and they lasted me years, and I buy a Β£7 block of soap maybe once a year or so.

Very little plastic waste at all.
