"Wondering what it's like to use a fair-trade safety razor? Craving a more sustainable bathroom routine? Look no further than Lisse. Here's what our Scouts had to say about their experience with this female-founded ethical shaving company."

Have you ever wondered how clean your shave is? Like yes in that way, but also, how eco-friendly is it? Do you know anything about whether your razor was sustainably made or who made it? If you’re like me, you used to never even think about how your razor is related to the environment. I used to not even know what a safety razor, (a more eco-friendly alternative to the plastic razor), was!

Opting for a metal safety razor is just one out of many eco-friendly options that you can explore while beginning a plastic-free lifestyle. While an initial investment, you save the money constantly spent on replenishing your razor supply, and with the right safety razor, you save the environment and your skin from harmful toxins. All you have to do is buy replaceable razor heads!

If the idea of a safety razor sounds intriguing to you now, let me introduce you to Lisse’s sustainable razor & environmentally conscious shaving materials. A one-woman show: Amy founded Lisse to provide cruelty-free (certified by the most credible third-party certifier– Leaping Bunny) shaving products. They do good outside of just their exceptional craftsmanship, donating 2% of gross profits back to non-profit Femme International which fights the menstruation taboo. With razors meant for sensitive and tougher skin, shaving oil, and shaving soap made in small batches, Lisse has got you covered. Not to mention, all their products look super cute.

We gave our Scouts a shot at trying out this luxurious and ethical shaving experience. To no one’s surprise, they had a blast! Get this: each Scout left a glowing 5-star review.

(Disclaimer: We did not pay any of our Scouts to review these products, but they did receive the products for free. Join Brightly’s Scouts program if you want a chance to participate in the next product drop!)

Star Rating: ★★★★★

"Using this product expanded my knowledge on how much plastic razors are being thrown out yearly. I also didn’t know that 1 razor blade is good for a month. Depending on usage, plastic razors get dull after a few shaves and are very wasteful. As I’m trying to create a plastic free bathroom, this would be one of the less wasteful items in the space."

"I love the sturdiness of the safety razor itself. The quality was amazing and it had a simple design. It wasn’t overly complicated to insert the blade either. The shave soap and shave oil made my legs feel super moisturized together and I didn’t need to put on any lotion afterwards. I also loved how there was a little info card on how to care for the razor and how to use it. It is an investment, but I feel that it’s worth it."

" I definitely feel like I got a better shave compared to a regular plastic 5 blade razor. I also absolutely love the shave oil! Not only does it smell amazing it also made my skin super soft. I can't imagine going back to a shaving cream."

"I loved how the box and all the contents were biodegradable. This razor was lightweight and easy to use. I’ve used safety razors in the past and I would always cut my legs up, but this particular razor was very easy to use and I didn’t cut my legs up one time!"

"I have very sensitive skin and any razor I’ve tried before has irritated my skin after using it. I really like that this Lisse razor was very gentle and my skin was not irritated afterwards. I also like that you don’t have to use much pressure for it to be effective. The shave oil and bar also really help in preventing any irritation or cuts when shaving. Additionally, the sustainability aspect of the materials makes me want to keep using it because it works the way I want and is helping the planet in the process."

Product I Tried:

Shaving Bundle with Rose Gold Safety Razor

Star Rating: ★★★★★

"I did not think much about razors and being more eco-friendly except for the fact that cartridge and disposable razors are mostly plastic until I also learned about the toxic ingredients that are in the moisture strips on the cartridge razors which are supposed to make it easier and smoother to shave. I don’t have any questions after using this product because Lisse has a whole FAQ section on their site and they have a “how to” highlight on Instagram that I watched before trying to shave with the safety razor. I also love how Lisse is “Leaping Bunny Approved,” woman-owned, and how 2% of the gross razor sales go back to educate young girls on menstrual health in East Africa."

"I was originally nervous to use a safety razor, but after using Lisse Shave, I know I am never going back. The quality of the products was exceptional. Not only is the product great, but it is coming from a brand I feel confident in supporting and can trust."

"The Lisse Safety Razors are no match for that plastic barbie pink razor currently in your bathroom. Their sleek design and endless use aspect make this the ideal razor. The safety razor also looked so beautiful and delicate, definitely a sustainable bathroom need. What sets this razor apart from other safety razors is the company itself. As a small, woman-owned business, Lisse has actively taken feedback and so the razor we actually received was the 'second generation,' crafted off of previous reviews."

"I love how pretty it is to look at and how high quality the products are. I love that this is a small woman-owned business, and I love that it makes shaving a whole spa-like experience. I also LOVE that their products are plastic-free. This is a swap I’ve been wanting to make for a while, and I’m so glad I got the opportunity."
