Day 96: Replaced Blade in Retro Razor

I changed the blade in my Retro Razor. I recently changed to using the Retro Razor from using the Preserve Razor.

According to the EPA, two billion disposable razors are landfilled annually. 2,000,000,000.

The Retro Razor uses a double sided blade and is made from hefty copper chrome and alloy. Read more from Retro Razor on the ecological benefits of double edge shaving.

I shave my head also and using a safety razor sounds good but scares the crap out of me...

The first one or two times, it was a bit scary (but not rough). Now I love the damned thing. Closest shave ever.

I have one of those too. Where are you getting your blades? I found an awesome source via eBay. Send me a tweet and I'll find the link for you. I posted about plastic-free shaving on Fake Plastic Fish (http://fakeplasticfish.com) back in 2007.

I'm still working on the blades that were shipped with it. I'll hit you up, but I'm sure there is a spot by me that has them.
