Razor Smooth Strips | Fatal Conveniences™


Listen Later

People have been removing natural body hair for centuries using various methods, the most common way today being razors. Unfortunately, in today’s day and age, the majority are made of plastic. While this is an obvious flaw in this fatal convenience, there’s a vastly overlooked part to the razor that is causing just as much damage: the smooth strip on the razor. It promises a gentle glide over the skin in order to avoid cuts from the razor blades, but what is that smooth strip composed of, how could it be harmful, and what should we be using instead to achieve a nice smooth shave?

Today we are exploring the fatal convenience: Razor Smooth Strips.
