# Zero-Waste Shaving Razors Leaf Shave is on the Cusp of the Sustainable Personal Care Movement By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-05-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-personal-care References: [leafshave](https://leafshave.com/products/) As consciousness about climate change is rising, things like sustainable personal care are becoming ever more desirable. Leaf Shave directly buys into this eco-friendly movement, offering an ethical, direct-to-consumer shaving experience that is also 100% plastic-free. The company boasts designs for both men and women. The razors are available on a subscription-based service and each product — from the Blade Disposer to the Solid Metal Stand, boasts a slick design that is fit for modern times. The zero-waste brand makes two boxes available to its consumer base. 'The Essentials' includes The Leaf razor, a Twig trimmer, and 20 blades, while the 'Starter Bundle' adds on to its predecessor with an extra 30 blades, a Solid Metal Stand, and a Blade Disposer. Thus, it is evident that the movement toward sustainable personal care also entails convenience and a contemporary aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Personal Care:** Opportunity for innovative products and services that prioritize eco-friendly practices and materials. - **Direct-to-consumer Shaving:** Disruptive potential in the shaving industry by offering subscription-based, plastic-free razors and accessories. - **Zero-waste Packaging:** Demand for sustainable packaging solutions that eliminate waste and promote environmental responsibility. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care:** Opportunities for developing and marketing eco-friendly personal care products that align with consumer demands. - **Subscription Services:** Potential for subscription-based models in the shaving industry, providing efficient and environmentally conscious solutions. - **Packaging:** Innovation opportunities in developing sustainable packaging solutions that reduce waste and meet consumer preferences for eco-friendly options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Bamboo Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-razors.md) - [Influencer-Backed Shaving Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sienna-swim.md) - [Refillable Deodorant Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifelong-deo-20.md) - [Anti-Clogging Technology Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyrinse-disposable.md) - [Eco-Friendly Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicalgrade-stainless-steel-toothbrush.md) - [Men's Safety Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supplys-max-razor.md) - [Functional Razor Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razor-kit-from-athena-club.md) - [Ocean Plastic-Made Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-landscapes-collection.md) - [Compact Electric Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc5.md)
