Schick unveils recycled material-laden disposable razor
SHELTON, CONN. (Feb. 1, 12:15 p.m. ET) -- The first disposable razor in the U.S. to use 100 percent recycled materials in both its handle and its packaging is expected to keep more than 103,000 pounds of virgin plastics and 15,500 pounds of virgin paper from going into landfills each year.
Reducing the number of disposable razors and plastics from those razors that go into landfills and improving the environmental footprint of their products is a critical issue for disposable razor manufacturers, as an estimated 600 million disposable razors are sold globally each year.
The new Schick Xtreme3 Eco razor, introduced Feb. 1 by Schick-Wilkinson Sword, will use recycled polypropylene resins made by NextLife Enterprises LLC at its plant in Frankfort, Ky., for the handle. It will also use 100 percent post-consumer paper in its packaging.
The recycled PP resins are made from products such as clothes hangars, buckets and pails recycled by NextLife, which has its corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla.

2012 Republican contest in Iowa was extraordinary in every way: volatile, unpredictable, and odd, embracing and then discarding front-runners — Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich — as if they were so many disposable razors.
I've come to the conclusion that a dull Gillette razor is more effective than a brand new disposable one.

Confirmed by experiment; disposable razor gives closer shave than brand new sensor excel blade. Why? I reckon Gillette are trying to upsell.
