Buy and use vintage, they already exist and they last for many generations, and brass is recyclable.

Those Kai razors require paper and manufacturing, which means machines and a manufacturing facility, which means electricity and inevitably oil. And then there is shipping and retail etc. It's all smoke and mirrors folks, don't fall for the hype.

I'll be honest i'd give them a go just cos I like trying anything new lol

Surely a re-usable handle would be more environmentally friendly? Got to be less energy involved in producing one handle that you can use for years. I like the idea of the plastic-free cartridge though.

The "world's first paper razor"?

Surely not. They are 90 years late.

Gimmick. This is only environmentally friendly when compared to those really crappy plastic disposable ones that are sold in packs of 10. Anyone serious about the environment shouldn't be using either of these options.

Shave and smoke at the same time? Got to love old school cigarette advertising. Was there a time when it wasn't a good time for a smoke?

 

[Stonec0ld]

Oh, it doesn't even use DE blades

They replaced the cart, which had a reusable handle, with a cart that's disposable.

This is obviously a razor for Prince Harry.
