In thinking of ways I can lessen my burden on the environment, I have been mentally reviewing everything we use here in our daily lives & trying where I can, to make better choices. I don't think my family will ever be completely green, but I realize that most things better for the environment, are also better for you - healthfulness is a very important factor in how I raise my children & how my life runs.
So, when I got to "shaving" on that mental list, I realized that my razor with it's disposable head, leaves more junk in the landfill than I'd like to admit comes from me.
I was instantly taken back to my pawpaw's razor, he had the same razor since I can remember, always on the same spot on the bottom shelf in the bathroom. It was silver and he always had it. He never threw it away or got a new one - he changed the blade, that's all. The blade was a blade, that's all, no plastic housing with triple blades and comfort strip. I knew this would be a much better choice.
I contacted ClassicShaving.com. They confirmed that yes,the double edge razors, like what my Grandfather used, are far better for the environment and for your pocket. They graciously sent me a Deluxe Vintage Safety Razor to sample. Instructing me to press very lightly when using it.
I have to tell you how much I love it. The first thing I noticed was how good it felt in my hand. The weight of it - like good silverware. Second , and most importantly was the nice shave. I used very little pressure - came out with legs like silk. The best part is knowing that it is a minimalistic product that I will have forever and it will lessen the amount of waste I contribute to this Earth :))
I love finding products that I feel really good about using. I like passing the info on to you, so that maybe at sometime, you will find the occasion to need a product that I have suggested, and remember my suggestion when purchasing. That is how I did a lot of my Christmas shopping this past year, based on what other real people had to say about a product. I would much rather be guided by another real Mom than a marketing sales pitch. This form of advertisement is important and I'm glad that I'm becoming a part of it :)
