Any recommendations? What do you use and where can I buy it?

I’m a little bit clumsy so ideally something that won’t cut me to shreds.

Thanks in advance!

Safety razor! Gives a closer shave, no bumps and you don't need to change the blade as often as disposable razors. Used blades can be kept in a tin and recycled with metals (though I would take to a recycling centre when full and not leave in kerbside). You do have to go slow and be extra careful at the beginning until you get the hang of it. I am super clumsy (always walking into things, tripping over, etc) so was really worried I was going to hurt myself but thankfully never had any issues! I use wild & stone but I don't thing the brand matters as long as the handle is sturdy.

I use Estrid. I’ve never cut myself with them and I don’t get those annoying little razor bumps on my bikini line that you get with disposable razors either.

Interested in this thread?

I use FFS. Had the same handle for about 3 years now. Change the blades when needed. Then post back the used blades to be recycled.

Wilkinson sword doe some disposable razors made out of recycled material and then they can be recycled too.
packaging is cardboard too.

i only got them as they were the cheapest but they’re not bad.
