Go for Zero – Butterfly Reusable Safety Razor (Silver)

Razor: Zinc Alloy

Blades: Stainless Steel 

Hi I’m Ellie, the founder of Go for Zero.

I began my toxin-free and sustainable journey when my newborn (Gracie) developed rashes using ‘mainstream’ skincare products. Determined to help my daughter, I dedicated my time to research product labelling. I was horrified to discover how many harmful ingredients regular hygiene- and household items contained (and it is safe to say that I became a bit of a toxin-free nerd).

When I researched and tested toxin-free products, I saw a high amount of vendors still producing top quality products in plastic containers. This created a sore spot in my heart and fire in my belly to only provide products that are safe for you and our planet. Being an online store, we guarantee that your orders are packed with zero plastic and delivered through shipping carriers  who compensate the amount of carbon dioxide used when shipping by investing equally in restoring ecosystem projects.

From stinky garlic face masks, extremely ‘turmericy’ drinks & deodorant that stains clothes, I have gone above and beyond to make sure that I test and personally LOVE each product that Go for Zero sells.

Go For Zero is more than a store. We are a community of like-minded people that are not willing to compromise their health nor their planet. It is our mission is to educate and motivate people to make positive changes. Our team will continue to work hard each day to find options that are good for you and the planet. We understand that removing toxins and waste from your life is a journey that does not happen overnight, but we’re here to make it that little bit easier and enjoyable. Keep going, we’ve got this!

Thank you for your trust in us,

With love,

Ellie

How to use:

1. Unpack your safety razor
2. With dry hands, grip the top of the handle and twist the bottom of the handle clockwise to open the head of the razor, just like a butterfly!
3. Once opened, carefully unwrap one blade. Please take your time here and avoid touching the shaving edges of the blade.
4. Place the blade inside the head and begin twisting the base of the handle anti-clockwise to secure the blade.
5. Now it’s time to start shaving! For a smooth shave, soak your skin in warm water & use a shaving bar of soapand take your time! Take care when shaving around your knees, ankles etc. Get to know which angles work best for each area and apply very little to zero pressure.
6. Once your blade begins to dull, replace it and collect used blades in a jar to store & eventually recycle

*When handling the razor, please avoid touching the shaving edges of the blade.

How to clean: 

Pat dry and store in a dry place after use.

*Avoid leaving razor in a pool of water as this may cause corrosion

Razor:

Our butterfly razors are designed to last, when the time comes when you no longer have a use for your razor, take it to your local recycling facility to be correctly recycled. 

Blades:

1. Create a blade bank (use an old jar)
2. Store blades in a jar
3. Once full, take it to your local recycling facility

Note: Care must be taken when handling the blades. Do not touch sharp edges.
