Tip of the Day: Shave the old fashioned way
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20071227070403im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.greendaily.com/media/2007/12/333350938953_e623727ba1.jpg)
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.
