Schick Xtreme Bamboo Razor - Eco Friendly Disposable Razors, Bamboo Handle

I was worried it would be poorly made like a dry popsicle stick, but it’s manages to be thin, light but actually smooth and sturdy!! :) I got a few more uses out of it than I would normally get from a disposable. razor. Very happy to go slightly more eco than the regular plastic ones. I have always been scared to use and change the eco reusable razors out there and I am so thankful there is an option for the rest of us who prefer the added safety of cartridges but want a slightly better option than full plastic razors! Will be buying more in the future.

I bought again after using the first ones I bought for probably about a year. Long-lasting. I like that they are partly bamboo. I am a white woman, 44, with medium fine hair, and don't shave constantly. They are very suitable. Easy to hold and I find that they aren't so sharp as to terrify me but not so dull as to catch my skin. They seem to stay at a relatively same sharpness for a long time, which is nice. I also couldn't remember how it went on there and just jammed one on there at one point and it stayed for the next year. I recommend these for people who a) want to recycle b) don't shave every single day c) are clumsy like me. I use TJ's Oatmeal Exfoliant bar soap with it, and it works just fine. Springy handle. The only thing I do wish is that more came in one box.

It may sound silly to say that this is the best razor I have ever used. I am not sure why. Perhaps it is because it is just a little wider and therefore doesn't miss spots? Or because it is so lightweight? I don't know. I like buying razors with replaceable blades but over the years, they seem to have become more complex with more blades stacked on top of each other in a narrower frame but they work less and less well... and get clogged up really quickly. This has a wider frame with a few stacked blades and the slenderest, most fragile bamboo handle you can imagine. It is so lightweight that it knocked over easily. But it works. And it has held up fine for a few months now. I don't know - what makes something the right balance? Whatever it is, this razor does it for this old woman.

Blades cut nicely but it your grip is strong you could potentially break the handle

These work great. Clean, close shave. Lightweight and break down easily for my small travel kit.
