Myths about sustainable shaving: What's really true — and what's wrong

March 24, 2025

Many are reluctant to switch to a sustainable razor — for fear of poorer performance, higher costs, or complicated use. The following applies: sustainable shaving is not only good for the environment. It also has clear benefits for you.

Myth #1: Sustainable razors aren't as effective as plastic razors


Many assume that an environmentally friendly razor shaves worse and that you have to make compromises in terms of quality. But quality and sustainability are not mutually exclusive.

  • At Razeco, we use Swedish steel blades, known for precision and durability. No unnecessary lubricating strips that can dry out or irritate the skin — instead, our razors provide a smooth, comfortable shave.

Myth #2: Sustainable razors are too expensive


In fact, many people spend more on constantly new plastic razors in the long term.

  • The Razeco system razor with durable, bio-based cartridges and stainless steel blades and a steel handle is designed to be replaced less frequently — for less waste and a sustainable solution that lasts. Made from 99% bio-based material, our disposable razor offers a cost-effective alternative for anyone who likes to be practical but still values sustainability

Myth #3: Sustainable razors are more complicated to use


Some think a sustainable razor requires a whole new shaving routine. In reality, it is just as easy and intuitive to use as conventional razors — just without plastic waste.

  • Our razors offer non-slip-grip handles and a balanced Weight Comfort Technology for optimal control — for a clean shave, completely without plastic.

Myth #4: A razor makes no difference


Billions of disposable razors and cartridges end up in landfills every year and break down into microplastics, which pollute our environment.
A simple switch to a sustainable razor can make a big difference. Every shave reduces waste, lowers emissions and promotes true sustainability. With bio-based materials and precisely manufactured blades, Razeco shows that performance and sustainability go hand in hand.

It's time to rethink your razor.
