Go Green With the 7 Best Eco-Friendly Razors in 2021

Shaving? Probably. It’s safe to say that in 2021, the majority of adults in the world are shaving at least some part of their body. Sure, a lot of us are foregoing the pits and legs in recent years, but cleaning up your face, manscaping your naughty bits and ditching those thinning locks on your head are very much mainstream hygienic practices. But, plastic and metal razors and cartridges are doing much harm to our planet and clogging our landfills with every shave. So how do we get it to stop? Eco-friendly razors.

Sadly, the razor you’re using right now is negatively affecting the planet. While the majority of us only use disposable razors in time of need, we’re switching the heads off of our go-to whenever the blades begin to get dull. Which, realistically, is what you should do to minimize pain. But, given we are living in the future, there are surprisingly tons of easy solutions and workarounds that help folks diminish their shaving waste tremendously. Eco-friendly razors are one way we can help combat the issue at hand.

With eco-friendly razors, we’re talking primarily about products that ditch plastic packaging and/or construction for a more sustainable approach. Because we all know at this point that plastic takes forever to break down, that’s the main component we’re focusing on today when looking at the best eco-friendly razors to use now.

So, what exactly are the most eco-friendly razors you can buy? See below and find out.

1. Bambaw Double Edge Safety Razor
