WEEK 20: SHAVING
AVOID disposable razors. SWITCH to reusable (electric/steel) razors.
1. PROBLEM
Err. Not exactly….But pop songs fade away. disposable razors don’t. The EPA estimates 2 billion razors are thrown away each year.
Disposable razors are…. disposable. Try these alternatives instead.
2. SOLUTION
For MEN (faces), women (hands/legs/armpits/what-not)
1. DON’T USE ANY
If you got no hair. Just don’t okay?
Now for the rest of us normal human beings who have benign but cringeworthy hair growth, here are some options….
2. REUSABLE STRAINLESS STEEL RAZORS
Gilette in India or US has wonderful options. By keeping your blades dry after each use, you can prolong their lifetime indefinetely. (JK. Just 2–3 months)
3. SCARY STRAIGHT RAZORS
These last a life time, least amount of resources used to make them, don’t have to replace any part regularly! Brilliant. Use this if you can :)
4. ELECTRIC RAZORS
I have an epilator and not a razor. But I don’t use it as I’m not a big fan of pain.
5. WAXING (Women) — SWITCH TO BODY SUGARING

At home (if you can do it) or find parlours that do body sugaring not waxing. P.S both hurt af.
5. LAZER HAIR REMOVAL
Permanent. I’m considering this option as shaving using reusable blades is not always convenient + this is for the lazy. However, not sure if it’s safe.
3. CONCLUSION
I want skin as smooth as butter..or a dolphin. Just like you. We all do. But it’s totally possible without burning down this planet.
K Bye.
