Not ready for a safety razor yet, but looking for something plastic free?

These razors are made from wheat straw. The handle is made from wheat straw, a biodegradable material, and stainless steel blades, this item is plastic free. Wheat straw is a newer alternative material, made from hard plant cellulose/fibres, that can break down. While it does take a longer time to degrade, and requires natural conditions that don't exactly exist in a landfill (sunlight, water, air, the presence of microorganisms), these are able to break down someday.

While we do buy these from a Canadian company, they are made in China. These are a great option if you're working towards decreasing your plastic waste and toward a lower waste lifestyle without the lifestyle jump to a safety razor. However, they aren't perfect and we want to be transparent that they do have a larger footprint than a safety razor, but a smaller one than a forever plastic.

Buy these in singles, package free, or in a paper sleeve of 6 razors in a set. Each razor has a wheat straw blade cover like a conventional plastic razor.
