Safety Razors!<\/h2>\n

Two billion razors are thrown away each year! This is something we don’t often think about! There is actually a razor out there that is good for the environment that already exist…SAFETY RAZORS!<\/p>\n

Before I get into that…the two common razors that people use:<\/em><\/p>\n

The first kind is the razor that has one set of blades on them. After a week or two of using this razor, you throw it away. And let’s be honest. Do we really get the close shave that we want. I always end up with cuts on my leg from razors like theses.<\/p>\n

The other kind is a razor that comes with about two to three replaceable razors. After you use up all the razors you throw them out. These razors never seem to get a close enough shave either. Plus their expensive!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The important thing to take away is RAZORS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE! That’s right, every time you throw away a razor it is ending up in landfills. Think about how many of these razors you use in a year!! Don’t worry the solution already exists!\u00a0Safety Razors<\/em> will be the last purchase you’ll ever make on a razor!<\/p>\n

People are raving that:<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They are getting a closer shave<\/li>\n
  2. No more dots on their legs<\/li>\n
  3. Safe to leave in shower<\/li>\n
  4. Their saving money<\/li>\n
  5. Their helping the environment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What you need to do:<\/em><\/p>\n

    Make a one time purchase of about $20 (sometimes less) and buy a Safety Razor<\/em>!<\/p>\n

    For only $12, you can get 100 blades too! (This will last you for years!) You do the math of those savings!<\/p>\n

    All you do with the uses razors is out them in a can to recycle them. The company ASTRA takes care of it and reuses the materials.<\/p>\n

    The cost upfront is a bit more than a traditional razor but in the long run you will be saving money and the Earth! Think about how many disposable razors you throw away, every time your spending $10-$20…that adds up really quick! Again think about how many disposable razors you have thrown away in your lifetime, they are all sitting in a landfill as we speak.<\/p>\n

    Be the change and make the switch! Remember… small changes make a big difference!<\/p>\n
