Electric Shavers, Lower long term cost, smooth as a naked blade, rash free skin, no ingrown hairs.
Heating water to 123 degrees for shaving costs around 0.04 kilowatt-hours, totaling 10.4 kilowatt-hours yearly if you shave five times weekly.
Electric shavers are more economical and eco friendly than billions of rusting disposable razors in landfills. Too many discarded razors end up annually in the landfills in the U.S. These razors add up to a massive pile of metal and plastic waste, not recycled, due to safety and health concerns as well as low recycling volumes.
Electric shavers commonly use nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are widely recyclable and less harmful compared to lithium or nickel cadmium batteries. Your razor and shaver choice can directly affect our environment. The biggest expense but never considered – the considerable water waste when shaving in the shower.
Irrespective of whether you use a disposable razor or wet/dry electric razor, shaving in the shower for 10 minutes wastes over 24 gallons of hot water for which you pay dearly in your power bill to heat it to a comfortable temperature.
In less than three days of shower shaving or running water at the sink while shaving, you will use more energy than you would use in a year of shaving with electric shavers or trimmers.
The electric shaver market outperforms disposable razors by NOT generating 14.9 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, excluding the cost of lather, skin moisturizer and similar products needed to combat shaver rash and painful ingrown hairs.
