How the lifespan of your disposable razor is cutting the lifespan of our planet

From champion athletes to busy commuters all around the world, shaving has become a fundamental factor in how we look, present ourselves and feel. Yet, being a habit so integrated in the majority of people’s daily morning routine, we rarely take a step back and put into perspective the sheer abundance of razors we collectively churn through.

Most people would be surprised to know the razor is the single most environmentally destructive component of a modern bathroom. Due to the dangers in disassembling them, most razors can’t be recycled. Consequently, 2 billion razors end up in landfills every year from the US alone.

In addition to bleaching our planet of its natural beauty, landfills are a leading contributor to climate change — arguably the most severe global issue of our time. One third of all plastic products end up in the sea, crippling the harmonious balance of our marine ecosystem. The Great Pacific garbage patch is a rapidly accumulating mass of floating rubbish — that we are all partially responsible for.

We’re making a change

Champion Shave — a grooming company with a conscious

The detrimental effect of waste on our environment motivated us to produce a high-quality razor which will enable people on an individual level, to mitigate the volume of trash they produce.

After expensive investments in research and technology we have developed a razor with a keen awareness for producing a recyclable product throughout the whole designing process.

Our devotion to reducing waste has not only attracted day-to-day champions around the world. Great athletes such as Usain Bolt, Ronaldinho and Dominique Wilkins share our ambition to produce the world’s first fully recyclable razor.

Just last week we shot an advertisement with French former footballer David Trezeguet in Miami, Florida which truly highlighted the need for our product in the current market.

A razor is a deceptively complex instrument

Starting from six raw material suppliers across four different countries and two factories in China. We use are over 500 custom stock keeping units which go through two ports and three couriers to eight major distributors. Our finely tailored product is then sold in 17 countries around the world.

By creative use of modern blockchain technology we have created a meticulously robust supply chain that streamlines the production of our razors. We can track every individually component of our product, every step of the way. This efficient production enables us to produce an exceptional razor at an affordable price — that is fully recyclable too, of course.

How do we ensure our products get recycled?

Blockchain Technology

Our inventive use of blockchain doesn’t stop at your door. At Champion Shave, we want to reward customers who share our values.

Therefore, by applying the same use of Blockchain we use to produce our razors, we will collect your razors from you when you’ve used them. In doing this, we have streamlined too the process of recycling.
