Don’t let the water run whilst shaving at the sink Save nearly 12L of water per shave3 Reserve a bit of water in the basin or in a small mug to rinse your blades, and you could save up to 11.6 litres of water per shave4 That’s a 97% reduction, and equal to 23 (500ml) bottles of water during just one shave.

Gillette Sustainability Shave-at-Sink

Turn the temperature down By using colder water when shaving, you eliminate the energy needed to heat the water, reducing your home’s emissions. Taking this small action for one year could save 46kWh of equivalent energy. That’s equal to the greenhouse gas emissions from 89km driven.
Install a smart faucet There are many new technologies that can help dilute water with bubbles, helping you use less water every time you open the tap.   *See Methodology section below for more information on how data was calculated.
