Hemp
This high-yield crop grows quickly and usually doesn’t rely on harsh pesticides and fertilizers, making it a dependable renewable resource. The cannabis plant produces more fiber per acre than common textile crops like cotton and flax, and actually adds nutrients to the soil instead of depleting them! Hemp is strong, breathable, and moisture wicking, and it requires minimal dye during fabric production due to its high absorbency qualities.

After the first use, I was in love.
The blade is so easy to put in and double sided. I was very intimidated to use, but it’s such an easy shave. It’s very smooth. 10/10 would recommend.

I was skeptical but after the first use I’m personally in love! I like that it’s really easy to clean, it gives a good close shave & I like that there is two sides to use as well. If you use it with a light touch & use your other hand to kind of pull your skin so it’s nice & flat that definitely helps.

I love this razor! Took some time to get used to, but will last for so long. I have had mine for 5 months and I will never switch back to a plastic razor. I also use a shaving bar with mine and that works well. I bought one for my mom for Christmas because I thought it would be a great gift to make a family member more sustainable too. If you are thinking about it, just go for it! Saves money in the long run too.

I’ve only used it a few times, so I may just have to get used to it. But it doesn’t seem to get as close of a shave as my old razor. Hoping I get the hang of it and it improves.

Easy to use, easy to clean. Definitely not as scary to use a razor like this as I thought it’d be.

Depending on what razor you had before, it may take you one or two times to get used to it. I have used it for a couple of months now and really enjoying it. Putting the razors in and out is very easy. I haven’t had any other problems with it.

This will take some time to get proficient using without getting cuts. Gets easier each time I use it. Cut down the number of times I need to shave my legs from daily to twice a week! Love that there is no trash!

It’s definitely been a bit of a learning curve to learn how to shave with this kind of razor, but that’s user error. This razor makes it easy to learn, easy to change the blades, comfortable to use! I love it. And the blade recycling is a huge bonus for me!

This is a amazing razor it looks great and works fantastic for me.(I’m female btw)
I haven’t had any issues with cutting myself just make sure that the area u are shaving is wet with water and/ or soap. The only thing is I will mention that the blades come in a very small box and for me it was difficult opening that and getting to the actual blade. Soo big hands beware lol.

Hey, it’s Hannah from EarthHero! I purchased this a couple of months ago for my boyfriend, since he was getting razor bumps from his conventional razor. At least once a week I hear him rave about how much he likes it! Not only does it have the “cool” factor with the full stainless steel design, but it shaves very smoothly and doesn’t create the razor bumps that he was getting before! You need to switch the blades out more regularly than with a multiblade razor, but with super affordable replacement blades that come in packs of 20, it saves so much money in the long run!

I love this so much! Ordered 2 more for friends and family, and it’s much less expensive than buying razors all the time! Plus more sustainable of course 🙂

I used to *hate* shaving. I would try to put it off for as long as possible, but this razor makes it so easy. It’s super easy to clean and the weight of the razor basically does the work for you.

I thought this would be the scariest razor I’ve used yet, but it’s one of the best razors I’ve ever used! Easy to get used to, and I’ve had less irritation.

I love this razor!! My mom had warned me about switching to a safety razor and that I would probably cut myself often with it. I have been using it for two weeks and can say I have not cut myself once. Blades seem to last two weeks for me, I shave around 2-3x a week. Amazing to support a closed loop system. You definitely also need a good shaving soap, it will not work without some form of lubricant.

I was weary buying this due to the price, I had never bought a razor for more than 10 dollars. I bought it because I wanted a more sustainable option and most other brands got bad reviews. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. It comes with a bunch of extra blades, making the price more than worth it. Plus, the blades are easy to insert.

Decided to swap the plastic razors for their more sustainable option. It’s a bit of a learning curve but not too bad at all! It gets easier to use after the first few times of trying it out. I was a bit nervous about cutting myself since it’s so different than plastic razors, but I haven’t accidentally cut myself much more than I did with typical razors. I recommend watching a tutorial on how to use a safety razor if you’re new to it! The blades are very easy to replace with the butterfly function. As long as you take your time with it and are confident then you’ll have no issue making the switch! 🙂

I was a little scared to try this razor. I thought there was going to be a long learning curve but it was very easy to get used too. I had it down on my second shave.

I can’t believe I’ve been using disposable razors all these years. I was a little worried about how this one would be on my skin (which is sensitive) but no razor burn or nicks in sight! I haven’t used the blade return service yet but I definitely will once it’s time to!

Can’t believe I didn’t invest in a safety razor sooner, and this is great. Super close shave. I was scared to use it at first but it’s easy to get the hang of. I shaved my ***entire*** body with it, and it was fine. You can’t nonchalantly shave, you have to pay attention to what you’re doing. Certain areas take more time to shave than others, so if you’re going to do a Brazilian-style shave, set aside some time.
It comes in a burlap pouch, but I wish it came in a case of some kind to store it in. I can’t store a razor in the pouch without slicing up the bag, so I’ve just been taking the blade out and then putting the razor in the pouch. It would just be easier to store it in a case with the blade still in there, and offer extra protection in storage.
I have not used the recycle/return your blade program that Albatross does, but I am excited to!
So happy with the razor overall!
