Comments on: Which Costs Less? Recycline Razors vs. Gillette Venus http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/which-costs-less-recycline-razors-vs-gillette-venus/ Family Life On The Green Side Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:07:19 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Peggy http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/which-costs-less-recycline-razors-vs-gillette-venus/comment-page-1/#comment-1087 Peggy Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:35:12 +0000 http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/which-costs-less-recycline-razors-vs-gillette-venus/#comment-1087 Richard, you have a good point. The problem is that metal razors for women are harder to find. And maybe manufacturers want it that way. Perhaps a men's razor might work just as well. I haven't tried it. If someone likes disposable razors, Recycline can be a good choice though. One reason people get rid of razor handles is because they can get moldy when kept in the shower. What I don't understand is why they have so many deep ridges in them. A smooth razor handle would be much easier to keep clean. Richard, you have a good point.

A good, METAL razor handle can last you a lifetime and the added weight of the handle makes for a better shave. I myself use a Schick razor from the 1960's--I put my used all-metal blades in a can, and the whole thing can be tossed in the recyling bin. And I have a metal-handled Twin Blade for the Recylcine cartridges that is already three years old.

You can order 4 Preserve toothbrushes for 13.00 -- that's 3.25 each. That's what I did, along with my razors. I meant to use my own photo and forgot. Thanks Jennifer.

I like recycline so much - just wish their toothbrushes were cheaper. BUT Wild Oats throws them on sale and you can stock up. It's worth it for the recycling. Good post.
