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...

Hello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen has done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn’t say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn’t resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn’t take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won the Powerball Jackpot of $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man blessed my family and also cured me of Cancer. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring serious ones to you for help too.

Mercury metal (from latin hydrargyrum = liquid silver) is shiny and silvery and the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury metal is known since ancient times, when it was believed to be something magical and also a cure for everything. More recently Mercury metal was and still is used in thermometers and barometers and in amalgams as filling for our teeth. Elemental mercury and many of its compounds are very toxic, so it should be avoided and not be used, if there are alternatives. Mercury metal can be sold only in small quantities and perfectly sealed for laboratory or display use. CONTACT IF INTERESTED

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
