A simple Father’s Day gift idea - sustainable razors 

In 2020, an estimated 5.45 million people used disposable razors. The level of waste created when shaving is not sustainable, with literally billions of plastic razors going into landfills and many more ending up in our oceans. So if you are looking for a sustainable Father’s Day gift idea, below are some eco-friendly alternatives that will be a gift for both dad and the planet.

Sustainable & Reusable Stainless Steel Razor

The Zero Waste Club stainless steel razor is the perfect gift for your dad (and good for the planet!) A perfect alternative to plastic single-use razors. This razor comes with a pack of 10 razor blades and the blades are very easy to replace. These razors are made from stainless steel and much like a father’s love, built to last a lifetime.

The Sustainable Naked Shave Kit

Wave goodbye to disposable plastic razors and poor-quality shaving and treat your dad to the ultimate shaving experience. The quality of this razor speaks for itself and because it is a truly eco-friendly Father's Day gift, the manufacturing of the box is done using renewable energy, reducing the impact on the environment. Hooray!

Razor available in Blue and Brown.
