Ok, so we live in a disposable society and not only should it change, not only must it change, but eventually it will change. The real question is how bad things get before it does. I recommend everyone take a look at:

Enough preaching. An easy choice to improve things if you shave is the save-a-blade, check the link to the right to get it on amazon. I have also seen them at Walgreens in the as-seen-on-tv section.
It sharpens razor blades (and those things are expensive!).
I have had mine for two years now. I would actually buy a higher end one is one was available. I changed the battery once.
I use it with the mach 3.
Gillette Mach3 Cartridge 12-Count
, actually looks like that are cheaper on amazon.com than anywhere else I have seen them.Beware though: some disposable razors work better than others. I use a Mach 3.
The four blade disposables have a clear wrapping or something you have to remove which is an additional pain. I have always had good results.
Now, nothing compares to a fresh new blade, but that lasts one or two shares at most at least for me. I have gone through 2 blades in the last 2+ years. Compared to getting maybe a full week without using the Save a Blade Automatic Razor Sharpener
. Actually, I recently started growing my beard out- the best solution for me at least. It seems like a little thing, but until we start with these little changes we are never going to get to the big changes than are necessary for our future.

Great point... I use an electric shaver. I’ve had the same one for 10 years.
But I am all about consumer responsibility… going green and all that jazz.
Yes, excellent point. I had an electric shaver and used to get the worst razor bumps and in-grown hairs. I heard they have pre-shave gel or lotion that helps. Now when I do shave I use pre-shave stuff and a scrub cleanser.
Of course, right now I got a whole Thor look going on. The elegant solution-- not shaving at all.
