I came upon an interesting claim at https://aquajetrazor.com/blogs/news/...traight-razors by a cartridge razor marketer claiming that straight razors are less environmentally friendly. This is the oppiste of what I tell everyone so I queried it with them and their claim is that most straight razor users make use of aerosol gels or creams and very few actually lather with soap or cream.

So maybe I'm living all in my own bubble, but my experience wa sthe very opposite. All the video guides I watcehd for atright razor shaving, as well as text guides, and sites that sell straight razors, all seem to mainly mention lathering with soaps and creams. Those soaps and creams are generally far more environmentally friendly. I'm very doubtful about whether they can really recycle those cartridge baldes of theirs anyway as I see no details about that on their site.

So I know this may sound ludicrous to many, but I thought I would doa poll to get some feedback to assure myself I'm not wrong, and also to further respond to this site above. As far as I'm aware straight razor shaving is probably THE most environmentally friendly shaving you can do (apart from growing a beard).

So the poll is: As a Straight Razor user do you primarily use lathered soaps/cream, or do you use canned aerosol gels/creams? Or something completely different?
