5 simple rules for zero impact shaving.

Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous

For the men of the house the appointment is almost every morning. Yes, in short, we ladies start complaining already two days before having a wax, but have we ever thought how cruel the morning thought of "My God, I have to shave" can be for the other sex ?. And anyway, beyond damnation and complaining, what is the best time to shave, or whether it's cooler to keep a goatee or sideburns, men today can show up at the meeting with the regal facial hair at least with the intention of cutting it down in an eco-sustainable way.

There are a few simple rules for this shave with zero impact.

1. Use an electric razor

Some studies would have shown that, if the market of the disposable razor continue at this rate, soon there will be a billion blades in the same head which will result in a considerable amount of plastic and stainless steel going straight to landfill. All this combined with the frequency with which the razor is thrown, turns out to be truly a disaster.

So, unless you have already purchased eco-friendly lrazor that recharges with solar energy, the best choice - despite using electricity - remains that ofappliance to be connected to the plug, certainly more ecological than the disposable old ones.

Then if with vibrating foils, washable, beard trimmer or whatever, the important thing is to prefer a good brand that guarantees a good result.

1. The barber razor

A valid one alternative to the electric razor, if you really want to use your hands, is the typical barber's razor once upon a time. How to use it (this site it is clear on several points) on your skin still remains a mystery: in reality it guarantees an excellent shave, but it requires a lot of practice if you do not want to end up bled. In return, it does not cause waste and can be used indefinitely.

1. Olive oil

The man who never has to ask, you know, it is good that he has a smooth face like a baby's bottom and smells good. The famous and fragrant aftershave can be a great ally and, even for men's cosmetics, there is now only the embarrassment of choice, but ... But how many times do you fill the bathroom like a beauty farm with products that are useless to say the least and do they deal not only with pockets but also with cellophane, packaging or polluting cartons?

Here comes theextra virgin olive oil! Instead of shaving cream, simply smear it on your face and then wipe it with the razor. It is a great lubricant that protects the skin and also eliminates the need to apply an aftershave. In addition, the oil can be used to clean the razor and protect it from rust.

1. Shave less

Needless to say: if he works from home, the boy is happy to do not shave every single day. When there is no need for a daily shave, the environment also benefits. This reduces the need to buy razors, creams, creams and aftershaves. And even with water you will see a nice saving.

1. About water

Instead of letting the water run for the duration of the shave it would be a good idea plug the sink at the time of shaving. This saves up to 7500 liters per year for a family of three. Reminder: the water must also be turned off while brushing your teeth or taking a shower.
