    Instead of using plastic disposable razors, I've switched to using double-edged razor blades on a metal handle.  It's a great shave, and while the handle costs more, the overall expense is much, much lower, because the blades are very cheap.  And the steel blades can be recycled!

    Something I've tried recently is a shampoo bar, and I like it a lot!  I've had the same bar now for several months and it's lasting a long time with daily use.  Also have gone back to using bar soap instead of a plastic loofah sponge and liquid soap in a plastic jar.  Making the bath plastic-free!

      How does Brandi like it?  My long hair is making shampoo bar difficult.
