How to Use A Safety Razor

How to Use A Safety Razor

It’s no secret that plastic razors are meant to be used a handful of times and then thrown in the garbage. As with any disposable product, if we continue buying them, companies will continue making them. Enter the alternative: safety razors.

A safety razor is a steel razor with replacement blades: while you replace the blade (and recycle it!) once it’s dull, the razor itself is made to last a lifetime. On today’s show I speak with Tung Do, co-founder of WLDOHO. Tung is on the show to explain how you, too, can incorporate a safety razor into your daily life without stress or overwhelm.

Here’s a preview:

[2:45] A safety razor primer: what it is, what it does, and why advocates love them

[5:30] One (expensive-ish) product versus a lifetime of (cheap) disposables: Does the money add up?

[7:30] What to do with your discarded blades

[8:15] Expert tricks for easing the safety razor transition

[13:50] The benefits to exfoliating before shaving with a safety razor

[14:45] Knees, shinbones, and ankles: Hacks for shaving tricky areas

[18:00] The environmental implications associated with plastic, disposable razors

Sneak Peek: Influencers Aren't Friends

Influencer marketing is a case study in how easy it is to sell things to followers who trust their favorite online personalities. But offering that elusive 'personal recommendation' for EVERYthing has normalized both inauthentic endorsing and impulse shopping. It has normalized the buying and selling of your precious attention, too.
