Summary: 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.<br> 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 <a href="http://www.wldoho.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WLDOHO</a>. Tung is on the show to explain how you, too, can incorporate a safety razor into your daily life without stress or overwhelm.<br> Here’s a preview:<br> [2:45] A safety razor primer: what it is, what it does, and why advocates love them<br> [5:30] One (expensive-ish) product versus a lifetime of (cheap) disposables: Does the money add up?<br> [7:30] What to do with your discarded blades<br> [8:15] Expert tricks for easing the safety razor transition<br> [13:50] The benefits to exfoliating before shaving with a safety razor<br> [14:45] Knees, shinbones, and ankles: Hacks for shaving tricky areas<br> [18:00] The environmental implications associated with plastic, disposable razors<br> <br> Resources mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wldoho_safetyrazor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WLDOHO on Instagram</a><br> * <a href="https://youtu.be/IwIxLQRrXcg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch the extended version of this episode on Youtube</a><br> * Use code SMOOTHSHAVE10 for 10% off any product at <a href="https://wldoho.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WLDOHO.com</a><br> <br> <br> * Thank you to <a href="https://auraframes.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aura Frames</a> for sponsoring this week’s episode!
