How to shave with zero waste
How to: Shave with zero waste Shaving generates hundreds of thousands of tons of waste each year. Maël, who is a volunteer at La Maison du Zéro Déchet, shares his eco-friendly shaving alternatives.
Thousands of tons of waste are produced as a result of shaving every year
Maël, a volunteer at “La Maison du Zéro Déchet”, explains how to shave with zero waste.
Choosing your razor
“Disposable razors are made mostly from plastic, a type of plastic that is almost never recycled, and a huge quantity is thrown out each year. Yet a pretty simple alternative exists: switching to a metal razor, known as a safety razor, which is unbreakable and has an infinite lifespan. Unlike disposable razors, metal razors are made of a single material with just one changeable part, the blade, which is right here, made of metal, which can be recycled with other metals at the recycling center.”
Using a shaving cream substitute
“With commercial shaving cream, you’re producing new waste with the container, but it’s very easy to do without it. One of the first zero-waste solutions is to make your own shaving cream… Another zero-waste solution, which I prefer, is to use soap.”
Changing your aftershave
If you use aftershave, you can easily replace it with the vegetable oil of your choice, depending on your preferences. It will help hydrate your skin.”

06/10/2020 03:18ohhh please use a small bowel of clean water to rinse your shaving brush, do not use the wash sink. You wash your dirty hands in the wash sink, after your washroom/ toilet use.. to avoid wash sink germs back on your face.. Merci Beaucoup! :-)

01/21/2020 17:13Shave in the shower turning using shampoo for your cream, turn off the water, shave and rinse. In the shower, the steam naturally moisturizes your skin and the shampoo lather saves buying shaving cream and the can it comes from....way better than this clown.

01/20/2020 22:40I get serious irritation even when I use a 2-blade razor instead of a 4-blade one. How can I use a 1-blade razor? This was a rhetorical question.
