Shaving

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

All. Here in the UK I am well aware of a large number

of vegan shaving creams, but can anyone suggest where

I might find a similarly ethical razor? This seems to

be less obvious, Gilette and Wilkinson Sword (Warner

Lambert) seem to have things sewn up. Do they make

blades for supermarkets/other smaller companies, or do

I actually have a choice beyond these unethical

multinationals?

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Matt.

Tescos do their own brand of copy blades for most makes of razor which is

what I use now that I been told about Gilette's sins. my guess is that there

are companies out in the Far East knocking them out for all the

manufacturers but I don¹t know the answer to this.

 

I have often thought that the only real ethical way to go is using by using

a real cut throat razor but have so far bottled out of that for fear of my

own safety. besides, how to sharpen then except for on a leather strap?

electric razors I am no fan off at all.

 

I have never used specially shaving cream. I have always reckoned that was

all bollocks marketing, more tins being bad for environment and hated the

perfumes they use. call me an old geezers but men did not do cosmetics in my

day. what I prefer is the same simple rough olive oil soap that I wash with

and that they used in the Mediterranean for everything; chin, arm pits,

hair, shirt collars but not necessarily in that order. the kind of stuff you

could imagine Anthony Quinn limbering up with before setting sail with the

Argonauts.

 

It is sold in wholefood shops, Greek and Turkish stores. folks have shown me

that essential oil based shaving oil stuff which looks fine but never made a

special effort to find it. always seems a bit dear.
