Shave Sustainably
We all know that the state of the planet is far from ideal currently, and on an individual level we can feel helpless towards the climate crisis. However, there are small things that we can do that can help towards reducing waste and our carbon footprint. If we change our day-to-day habits, we can have a positive impact on the environment and people around us. Have a look at our tips below to become a sustainable shaver:
SHAVE WELL, SHAVE LESS
There’s nothing quite like a clean shave. But more often than not, when we do it ourselves it’s not as good a job as paying a professional. At Refinery Studios, we will make your shave last longer, look better and help you reduce waste by using our cut-throat razors. Book today for a shave that lasts longer than a day! Or, go wild and grow your beard!
PICK A SUSTAINABLE SHAVING CREAM
Sadly, a lot of shaving cream companies not only test on animals, but use an unnecessary amount of packaging for their products as well; not to mention the fact that there are so many shaving creams which contain micro-plastics! By spending a little bit more money, you can buy a sustainable shaving cream that will last, in a container you can re-use again and again. Have a look at the link below for a favourite of ours!

Also, did you know that coconut oil is a great alternative to shaving cream? It’s great for your skin too!
AVOID PLASTIC, CHOOSE STEEL
For your own purposes, a steel razor is a fantastic investment (not to mention a great gift!). Though slightly pricier, stainless steel razors will last you a life-time unlike normal plastic, disposable razors. Take a look at this great website for a variety of sustainable shaving products!
