Why the plastic blade belongs in the trash

Reason 1: Because you are worth it

Let's be honest: Running a five-blade vibrating wonder over your face while half asleep in the morning has about as much to do with shaving culture as instant coffee has to do with barista art. It works, yes. But it's also as inspiring as filing your taxes.

Wet shaving isn't a necessity; it's a conscious choice. It's the difference between "quickly shoveling something in" and "enjoying a meal." While the rest of the world is still stumbling through the morning on autopilot, you take five damn minutes for yourself. The hot water, the wafting scent of the soap, the satisfying sound of the razor gliding over your skin—that's mindfulness for people who wouldn't normally use the word.

A good shaving soap opens your pores, lifts your beard hairs, and ensures the razor glides over your skin like a sled on fresh powder. The feeling after a wet shave with high-quality soap isn't "Thank God it's over," but rather "Damn, that was good."

Reason 2: Because it's cheaper

Let's talk about Gillette and the like. For a plastic handle plus four replacement blades, you're paying more than you'd pay for a decent lunch. Why? Because for years you've been told: more blades = better shave.

The fact is: A decent safety razor costs about the same as four packs of these disposable blades. After that, you get 100 high-quality blades for the price of a single pack of these plastic things.

Reason 3: Because it is more ecological

Safety razor: 100% metal, 0% plastic. Soap: in a jar instead of a spray can. Blades: tiny and recyclable. Sounds good? It is. Not only does the classic shave produce less waste, it also looks better – in your bathroom and on your skin.

Conclusion:

Whether you use a safety razor, straight razor, or brush, the classic wet shave is no old hat. It's your new routine that works better, smells better, and simply looks better.
Try it out. No hassle. No big investment. No plastic.
