With balanced ergonomics and ultra-gentle glide, our unique razors provide the closest cut to your skin, removing all hairs without irritation! It reduces the risk of razor burns, pesky ingrown hairs, and rashes for the most sensitive areas of skin. It's totally reusable so you can save money while reducing plastic waste.
IT'S SAFE! How?
- With a safety razor, the hair is cut once at skin level instead of below skin level like a cartridges blades.
- The head of the blade is bent so that when the blade is positioned at the right angle, it maximizes the efficiency of the shave and minimizes the number of cuts.
- Unlike multi-blade razors, safety razors use a single double-edge blade that doesn't tug and pull to create skin irritation.
- You can unscrew the head and flip the blade to avoid cutting yourself or others.
We recommend using an all natural soap bar to get the most of your razor.

Directions
Step 1: Exfoliate beforehand
- to accomplish the clean smooth shave, smooth the skin by exfoliating the desired area
Step 2: Condition with cream/oil/soap
- apply and lather your skin with your usual shaving gel, cream or soap
Step 3: Shave wet and warm
- for best practices, wait until the end of a hot shower or bath to shave, whenever possible.
- shave in the direction of your hairs (ex. if your hairs are facing down, shave using downward strokes)
- hold the handle at a 30-45 degree angle and gently glide the razor over the desired area, against the direction of the hair growth
Step 4: Clean off
- pat dry and avoid rubbing; this could create friction and irritation to the skin
- rinse and dry your razor and razor blade
- moisturize the shaved area with your usual cream
*switch a blade every 5-8 uses. life span will vary based on the frequency of use, storage conditions, handling, etc*
Care Tips
- clean your razor after every use with warm water then dry off with a wipe
- store it in a dry place, away from moisture
- avoid leaving it in the shower or tub
Disposal
- once your blade becomes dull, you can recycle them
- pharmacies and local drug stores will often provide sharps containers upon request for the used blades. or you can bring used blades to your local scrap metal recycling for safe disposal
Cautions
- use short strokes when using and do not apply pressure
- if you notice any dragging, it's time to swap out for a fresh new blade

How did you come up with the name Plantish?
The name comes from a state of being patient with slow growth, inspired by plants.
Watching the process of a seed transforming into a plant has made me reflect deeply on the process of slow growth, being patient with that mindset, and how that can be carried over to sustainable practices in our lifestyles.
Although I know we must work powerfully and effectively collectively to reduce plastic waste, we also need to be patient and gentle with one another and our own existence.
