Tip of the Day: Shave the old fashioned way

Shave the old fashioned way.
Electric razors use electricity and disposable ones are, well, disposable. So how can you be the greenest possible without looking like a mountain man? Go back to the way the barbers used to shave back in the day: with a double-edged or straight razor. All you'll need is the razor, some shaving cream, and a shaving brush. Zen Habits gives complete instructions on how to get started, and although I'm sure there's a learning curve (I wouldn't suggest trying it for the first time before an important event) it should be well worth it. An old-fashioned wet shave can save you money, help your skin be healthier, and most importantly reduce your environmental impact.
