How to Use A Safety Razor
Category: TV & Film
Duration: 00:22:00

Description:

It’s no secret that plastic razors are meant to be used a handful of times and then thrown in the garbage. As with any disposable product, if we continue buying them, companies will continue making them. Enter the alternative: safety razors.

A safety razor is a steel razor with replacement blades: while you replace the blade (and recycle it!) once it’s dull, the razor itself is made to last a lifetime. On today’s show I speak with Tung Do, co-founder of WLDOHO. Tung is on the show to explain how you, too, can incorporate a safety razor into your daily life without stress or overwhelm.

Here’s a preview:

[2:45] A safety razor primer: what it is, what it does, and why advocates love them

[5:30] One (expensive-ish) product versus a lifetime of (cheap) disposables: Does the money add up?

[7:30] What to do with your discarded blades

[8:15] Expert tricks for easing the safety razor transition

[13:50] The benefits to exfoliating before shaving with a safety razor

[14:45] Knees, shinbones, and ankles: Hacks for shaving tricky areas

[18:00] The environmental implications associated with plastic, disposable razors
