    Have you considered a straight razor that you can sharpen?

    Oh, I didn’t know about the Teflon coating. From what I just read virtually all razor blades - both double-edged and cartridge - have PTFE coating. (Where PTFE is a PFAS compound, and PFAS is the family of compounds also known as Teflon.) But there is some hope for an alternative someday. https://www.pcimag.com/articles/111660-a-close-shave

    So I guess I would say stick with double-edged. Or maybe electric would be better specifically with respect to water pollution? Since that’s the big issue with PFAS. I don’t know, just a guess.

    Ah, shit Didn’t had the teflon in mind

    Currently I’m only using razors, because I have multiple devices where they fit (a standard razor thing and a knife like thing). Was thinking that this is a very eco friendly way.
    Maybe a hard blade to sharpen yourself is really the way to go - although much more work probably, especially when traveling
