Keeping your face or legs smooth is about to become a lot more guilt-free. Oh, you didn’t think twice when using your straight-razor about the effects on the planet? Seriously, we get it. You often think that because these things are made with metal, they’ll likely be recyclable, right?

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Razor Blades are problematic when it comes to recycling because they consist of multiple materials that are hard to separate, and it means that almost 2 billion get thrown away every year in the US alone. According to the EPA, it takes about 1000 years for these to degrade.

The solution to zero waste shaving is, don’t! However, unless you live in Bushwick or a hippie commune, never shaving again may not be a viable solution.
