The various concerns with disposable razors

The disposable razor is a real scourge for our environment, because it is an object that we throw in the trash after each use. In addition, it is impossible to recycle due to its manufacturing materials, we are talking here about plastic, metal, silicon, rubber ... Thus, the used razor ends up in landfills or in the seas and oceans. In France, more than 20,000 tons of razors are produced every year, and it takes 1,000 years for this waste to decompose. It should also be noted that currently, brands compete to offer a razor with the largest possible number of blades. Thus, one might think that the razor with at least 6 blades is a real technological advance, but it just pushes us to renew our purchases again and again. To limit waste at home, the most effective and safest alternative is the zero waste razor . Moreover, the French brand Caliquo offers this type of razor for men and women. It is characterized by its handle made of fine European wood.

The safety razor, the best alternative to disposable razors

The safety razor available at Caliquo is a zero waste razor , like the one our grandparents used before the arrival of plastic. The old model is made from brass with a rust-proof coating and a single stainless steel blade. Its effectiveness against hair is no longer in doubt; a single stroke is enough to have smooth skin. However, it is impossible to cut yourself while using it. Indeed, it is equipped with a cartridge that only reveals the essential part. After use, the razor is rinsed with clean water and dried before storing it. The main advantage of this type of razor is that it can be used for life. You have to make the investment when purchasing it and change the blade from time to time. In addition to being good for the environment, the zero waste razor saves money.
