Reviews of Preserve Razor
environmentally friendly razor
I agree with Greg T., razors are the problem here, not the handles. Until someone can design a sustainable razor blade, what options do we have? I've used these and I appreciate they are made of recycled yogurt cups. They are good for traveling, but honestly I don't care for the blade/handle connection. Mine are too loose. The blades often fall out, which isn't safe while shaving. Maybe I got a bad batch, but they need to grip the cartridge better. I prefer my Wally razor.

good recycled plastic razor
This razor works really well, but moreover, its handle is made with 100 percent recycled plastic. I think they've got a partership with Stonyfield, because 65 percent of this plastic is from Stonyfield recycled yogurt containers. You can actually recycle the body of the razor in communities that take #5 plastic, hardly any of which do -- this is the plastic common in drinking straws and bottle caps. So it's kind of funny that they advertise this fact when hardly anyone actually takes it. But Recycline has a postage-paid mail-back program, which is cool, so you can definitely recycle it with them but what a hassle! Whatever, it's still a good razor made from all recycled materials.

no more hairy messes
I purchased a Preserve Razor and used it the next morning, eager to try out my newest toy. My otherwise hairy legs became smooth. The Preserve Razor keeps your legs smooth longer than other razors by Bic, Schick, or Gillette. It's orange, my favorite color, and the replacement cartridges are affordable. This is the best razor I have ever used, and I feel great knowing that all the materials are recycled. I eat my Stoneyfield yogurt for breakfast and jump right into the shower and use the recycled cartons to shave my legs! No more hairy mess!

solving the wrong problem
Recycline's recyclable razors are an attempt to solve the problem of disposable razors, but the real problem to be solved is the blade cartridges, not the handles. The people who buy throwaway razors at the standard drug stores are not likely to choose the eco-alternative, and those who do choose the eco-alternative are not likely to be the type to throw things away all the time. I don't throw away the Recycline razor handles, and I don't recycle them, either, because they're perfectly good for long-time use. The thing that gets used up and sent to the trash all the time are the blades, which in Recycline's case are not as good as their mainstream competitors'.
