Today’s Solutions: January 23, 2025

Unless you’re going for the Mountain Man look, owning a razor is a necessity in modern society. Unfortunately, that often means using a pile of plastic. Even if you’ve switched from disposable razors to replaceable cartridges (an improvement), there is still excess packaging and plastic blade heads going to waste every few days or weeks, which is far from ideal. The good news is, a better solution exists – and no, it doesn’t involve using a scary straight razor (as amazing as those are).

Enter the Leaf razor, made from solid metal with replaceable double-edged steel blades. This beautiful razor, designed for both men and women, is 100 percent plastic-free and zero-waste. Here’s how. The double-edged blades, which come in packs of 20 or 50, go into a special blade disposal box that’s included in the Leaf starter pack. Each box can hold hundreds of blades. Then, because the blades are pure steel and the box is tin, they can be recycled in most local municipalities with scrap metal drop-off.

And if your municipality doesn’t accept metal recycling, you can just ship a full box back to Leaf and they’ll recycle it in bulk. So, if you’re looking to make your shaving sessions a little cleaner for the environment, Leaf is your best bet.
