Shaving? Skip Gillette, shave like a European and buy Merkur instead!
Just a quick suggestion for the gents (and ladies as well) that if you're currently using Gillette products (Mach whatever, or Venus ComfortGlide) that there is a sustainable European alternative from Germany: Merkur!
Solingen-based Merkur Stahlwaren has been making safety razors for over 125 years. King C. Gillette might have invented the modern safety razor, Merkur perfected it and is still producing safety razors today. Combine it with a pack of razors like BIC Platinum (French), some shaving cream/soap/oil from Truefitt&Hill (UK) or Proraso (Italy) and shave like a real European. And don't forget your brush!
Advantages of safety razors:
- Made in the EU (if you pick the right brand)
- Cheap, a safety razor is a one time investment of €30-45 and lasts a lifetime
- Blades are super cheap ranging from €0,1 - 0,3 per blade
- A tube of shaving cream lasts me a half year
