Why You Should Stop Using a Disposable Razor

Your shaving ritual is sacred. And the tools you choose can make or break the experience. If you still have a death grip on your disposables, we’re going to take this time to gently encourage you to want more for your face.

Reasons to revolutionize your grooming routine.

1. "Gel" strips can irritate your skin.

Disposable razors often come with gel strips that promise a smoother shave, but they can contain questionable ingredients. Many gel strips are infused with chemicals and artificial fragrances that can irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin. Electric shavers promise that smoother shave -- and deliver. If you’re prone to razor burn, bumps, and ingrown hairs, a switch to The Beard Hedger® could make a huge difference.

2. It’s an upgrade that saves you time and money.

Disposable razors typically require additional shaving products like creams, gels, or foams to achieve a smooth shave, which leads to an increase in cost, time and effort. If you’re looking for a way to level up your shave, an electric shaver is it. Plus, you can leave that shaving cream on the shelf.

3. Stop replacing razors.

When you’re using disposables, you know how quickly the blades get dull, leaving you with a shave far from smooth. You have to constantly replace your razor, or risk nicks, cuts and irritation. Electric shavers are the more sustainable option, as they’re built to last for years with minimal maintenance. This not only saves money in the long run but also reduces the environmental footprint of your grooming routine. (Mother Earth appreciates it.)

4. Experience higher blade quality.

The quality of the blades can vary from pack to pack, leading to inconsistent shaving results. In a pack of three one might be sharp, another might be dull, and another ineffective straight out the gate. To ensure a reliable and smooth shave every time, go electric. (May we recommend The Handyman™?) Electric shavers give consistent performance and are designed to maintain their sharpness over time.

5. Save your skin from nicks and cuts.

With disposal razors, it’s easy to apply too much pressure or shave at the wrong angle. Electric shavers are designed to glide smoothly over the skin, significantly reducing the risk of cuts and nicks. This makes them a safer and more comfortable option, especially for those with sensitive skin.
