hard to say definitively how long a blade will last<\/a>, broadly speaking, a single cartridge razor blade can last anywhere from one week to a month depending on use and maintenance, while a shavette blade might need replacing after every few shaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDespite this, shavettes are far more sustainable as they generate less waste. The blades are easily recyclable, and they don’t have plastic cartridges that contribute to landfill waste. If sustainability is a significant factor in your decision, a shavette would be the more eco-friendly choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice between using a shavette or a cartridge razor isn’t just about the shave itself but also about the experience and broader implications, such as sustainability and skin health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For novices or those in a rush, a cartridge razor is often the safest and most convenient option. It’s easy to use and provides a close shave with less risk of cuts or nicks. However, its tendency to cause ingrown hairs and its environmental impact due to disposable plastic cartridges might be concerning for some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A shavette provides a more refined, traditional shaving experience. It requires skill and patience, but the end result can be incredibly rewarding – a super close shave without the risk of ingrown hairs. Plus, it’s an environmentally friendly choice, with easily recyclable blades and no plastic waste. However, the shavette’s steep learning curve and the potential for cuts and nicks might deter those who prefer simplicity and safety in their shaving routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
