Crowdfunding since 2010

The SHAVENT razor is one of the first to combine plastic-free shaving with pivoting head comfort and style! Designed in Italy, Made in Germany

***Scroll down to preorder*** Plastic waste pollutes our environment - we all know that much, right? But we were shocked by how much waste small items like system razors and their blade cartridges cause: in Germany alone we produce ~ 100 truckloads of waste per year (we're talking about full-grown 40-ton trucks)! Alternatives like single edge razors haven't convinced us in shaving comfort, so we developed SHAVENT, combining a smooth, flexible head with the simplicity of classic razor blades

Less plastic can be that easy!

Carelessly producing plastic waste and polluting our planet? How unnecessary!

Environmental protection means asceticism and foregoing comfort? Nonsense!

To prove that comfort, design, independence and sustainability can be wonderfully combined, we have designed and developed our SHAVENT wet razor: a comfortable pivoting head razor that simply uses classic razor blades instead of entire replaceable heads. The three blades that stand closely together guarantee a smooth, perfect shave and can be easily replaced at any time.

Three birds with one stone:

  • ELEGANT - an eye-catcher for your bathroom & a perfect shave
  • ECONOMIC - for a few cents you treat yourself to new blades again and again and that completely independently of us or other shaving handle manufacturers
  • ECOLOGICAL - completely plastic free! And you can recycle the blades (in contrast to conventional interchangeable heads) with the aluminum cans from the kitchen

For #more sustainability
Against # interchangeable head dependency

With SHAVENT we put our vision into practice: doing something for our planet elegantly and without sacrificing comfort - every step is a start!

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Our stated goal is to prevent senseless waste of plastic! For our planet and for all of us!

"Along the way" we have designed a real piece of jewelry for every bathroom that makes its owner independent of the major brand manufacturers of interchangeable razor heads - free choice of blades at a fraction of the price.

We want to address people who, like us, want to enjoy the beautiful things in life without unnecessarily wasting ressources. SHAVENT brings an extra moment of luxury into everyday life, while protecting the environment - we'd call that a clear win-win!

This is what sustainability should look like!

Why would you support this project?

It's time to combine sustainability and comfort! With SHAVENT we can! Even if (for a start) only one in ten wet razor users in Germany switch to plastic free, we can save over 400 tons of non-recyclable composite waste per year!

This equals:

  • 10 full-grown 40-ton trucks
  • 69 African elephants
  • 4,500 washing machines
  • 1.6 times the Statue of Liberty in New York
  • 7,100 times the alleged weight of Kim Kardashian

Being able to relieve our planet of this burden (maybe even more!) and gaining luxury and comfort instead of having to give it up - from our point of view this is an amazing goal that is more than worth pursuing!

Perhaps, with this "gaining while saving" spirit, we can in mid-term convince the mainstream mass to consume sustainably - perhaps our shaver can be the beginning of many more combinations of sustainability & pleasure / luxury / comfort! We will definately go above and beyond for this!

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

With your support, we can fund the first casting molds for our SHAVENT razor. Since the longevity of the razor was a key criterion for us, we opted for high-quality zinc die-cast - this manufacturing process requires molds that have to be purchased and paid for before production.

In addition to the molds, there are of course other means of production, such as material and packaging, for which we want to use the supporter €. So we can fully focus on the manufacturing and distribution our stylish plastic-free razor alternative!

We would be delighted to be able to take you with us on our mission "S(h)ave in Style" - your support will help us to save tons of plastic, in style and great comfort!

Who are the people behind the project?

The core team behind the SHAVENT project is us - Angie, Romy and Armin - in form of the unconventional family business ARA Sustainable Products.

Father Armin is engineer through and through! With decades of experience in materials science, mechanics & function and, driven by resentment about senseless plastic waste, he began developing the SHAVENT razor in 2018.

On the 3D printer, gifted by daughter Romy for Christmas 2018, he created countless prototypes and, together with mother Angie, they tested and tested until they were finally thrilled about their creation in late 2019! Since then there has been no alternative at teh homes of Seidel / Lindenberg: the 3D printed SHAVENT prototypes dominate the bathrooms!

On the way from the idea to the product launch, more and more friends of the family have joined in with ideas, advice and action, so that SHAVENT, as you get to know it today, emerged from real family & friends spirit!

Together with you we want to expand this family & friends circle, joining forces to bring the idea to the next level and into the bathrooms of the world!
