I've read it, but I'm not buying that straights are all that environmentally friendly. Over CHEAP disposables, perhaps. I've used an electric for 30 years. On my 2nd one. They're good for 500 battery cycles or so, and I shave every 2nd or 3rd day. which means I have to charge it maybe 25 times a year, tops. That's a whole lot of water that didn't get used, and a whole lot plastic that didn't get dumped, and a lot of hours not spent in front of blazing vanity lights, etc. etc.

The decision to switch to straights for me, was just that I enjoy constantly learning new cool things and stimulating neurons. I'm sincerely trying to keep my use of water to a minimum, but lights, I'm not going to take chances with that one. I want to SEE what I'm doing.

I do a LOT of recycle/re-use/reduce and it shows every garbage day. One small 30 gal bag, about half full, for a family of 3 and everything else is in the recycling bins. I pif and sell my durable items that can be used by someone else, even if all I get out of it is the shipping cost reimbursed. It's pretty important I think. I don't want the garbage piles left behind for my kids and theirs and so on, to be MY garbage.

But straights green? No, I don't think I'm buying that marketing.
