Like nearly everybody, I was a little daunted to use a safety razor for the first time. They look pretty mean and I was worried about cutting myself by accident, but fear not, they are SO much easier to use than you would expect and definitely safe to use.
Draft: Your Zero Waste Shaving Questions Answered
I am asked a lot of questions about the safety razor so I've jotted the most common questions along with my answers here to help decide if Zero Waste shaving is for you. If you still have any questions, I'm always happy to answer and will try and help as much as I can.
I do have a demonstration video showing you how to use the razor over on my Instagram story highlights if you wish to see a safety razor in action. The video really puts your mind at ease!
Your Questions Answered
Is the shaver for ladies too?
Most definitely yes. The shaving kit is unisex.
Is the shaver safe to use on your underarms and bikini line?
Again, most definitely yes. It does take a little longer than usual but it works perfectly. Just remember to keep your razor at 30 degrees to your skin which means you have to manually move the shaver in comparison to a cartridge razor as they have a flexible head.
For men, it's great all over. My boyfriend Jason has a beard which he loves dearly so won't go anywhere near that but uses the razor on his neck.
Do you get a close shave?
Another yes! A closer shave than a cartridge razor, such as Venus or any other brand made from plastic.
Is it easy to cut yourself?
No. You'll be surprised that you can't even feel the razor blade when you use it. Let the weight of the razor do the job. Don't press or pull hard.
Why do you need a shaving brush?
You don't need a shaving brush however it really helps lather up the soap and apply it to the area in question. Remember to check out my video on Instagram and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well the soap lathers up. I also now really enjoy brushing it on and wouldn't apply without anymore.
Is the shaving brush made from Badger Hair?
This questions was actually asked only once but I thought it was rather comical since I was at a vegan fair. Anyway, they are most definitely not made from badger hair like some traditional brands. Yes that does mean they are synthetic and not a natural product like everything else on my site, however I will never ever stock products made from animal ingredients.
How do you change the blades?
With this particular razor, you unscrew the handle which dismantles the head into two so you can insert the blade. Simply put the head back together and screw the handle on. With some other safety razors you turn the handle and the head opens like a butterfly so you can insert the blade.
How long do the blades last?
A good (hairy) 5 shaves, so that's 10 shaves per blade as you can use both sides. You'll know when they need replacing as it will start to pull your hair.
When can I buy replacement blades?
I'm pleased to report that The Kind Store now stock replacement blades at £2 for 10no so her waste shaving has never been so affordable.
How do you dispose of the blades?
I collect mine in a left over tin (i.e. a baked bean tin, you get the gist). Once full (which will take a really really really long time), tape the lid back on and take it down to your local waste recycling centre and hand it over letting them know what is inside. You shouldn't put it in the kerbside recycling as there is a risk of harm to sorters or even animals rummaging through.
Do you sell the razor individually?
Not yet but watch this space...

I want to use this opportunity to share the good works of Dr. Odunga who brought my husband back to me from another woman in 2 days. His email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp contact is +2348167159012.
The day my husband left me, things appeared bleak, and the atmosphere was heavy with uncertainties. Everything seemed pale and so I decided to look for help in spell casters who have the capability to bring my ex husband back to me. As envisaged, I went on the internet and as you too have seen in your search for a reliable spell caster, I saw a lot of testimonies of spell casters in the recovery of ex husbands and loved ones. Driven by belief in Doctor Odunga, I contacted him and after explaining things to him, he accepted to face the challenges on ground. He did brilliantly well. My ex husband came back to me within 2 days of contact with more care and affection and promised never to leave me. I will therefore like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to him and share this testimony to enable others in need to contact him for his selfless service to situations and problems. Commendable, he shows great courage at taking on the daunting task of finding solutions to practically any given problem. Contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and his Telegram: @greatodunga Yes, I believe he will help you as he did to me
