The price of shaving. Why plastic-free cartridges are cheaper than you think

Many of us are looking for ways to make everyday life more conscious and environmentally friendly. Even when shaving. But while many sustainable razors and plastic-free alternatives are perceived as expensive, it's worth taking a closer look at the actual costs. Because anyone who thinks in the long term not only saves money, but also reduces plastic waste.

Traditional cartridges: expensive and often made of plastic

Many well-known shaving brands rely on a system that offers a cheap grip but entails high costs for the cartridges. The average prices for standard cartridges are 2,50€ to 3,50€ per blade for cheaper brands and with 4€ to 6€ per blade for well-known brands. Premium models can even go up to 7€ per blade costs. With a recommended change rate of around every 5-10 shaves, the annual costs quickly add up to 120€ or more — just for cartridges.

In addition, many of these cartridges consist of a combination of metal and fossil plastic, which makes recycling difficult and pollutes the environment. In addition, they often contain unnecessary gel strips with chemical ingredients that are not only superfluous but also problematic for the environment.

Sustainable cartridges: cheaper, plastic-free and environmentally friendly

With sustainable razors, the math is different. Our plastic-free cartridges are specially designed to stay sharp for a long time and only cost on average between 2,50€ - 3,40€ per piece — that is on average up to 50% less than popular brands. This not only means savings for you, but also less waste, as the cartridges need to be changed less frequently.

Thanks to high-quality workmanship and optimised precision, they offer a long-lasting shave without unnecessary additives. At the same time, they are free from fossil plastics, making them a more environmentally friendly alternative.

The difference is particularly obvious when you look at long-term costs. Over a period of five years, opting for sustainable cartridges can save you of up to 250€ mean — without sacrificing quality.

Sustainable shaving with plastic-free cartridges pays off twice

Choosing the right razor cartridges not only has an impact on your skin, but also on your wallet and the environment. While conventional cartridges stand out due to high prices and unnecessary plastic components, sustainable, plastic-free cartridges offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. So anyone who wants to save money not only at first glance, but also in the long term, focuses on quality instead of expensive brand strategies — and benefits twice over.
