Change the previous product as little as possible to expand this product’s life cycle
These products have been fashioned for one-time use, although many people use these razors more than once. after the first usage, the gap between the blades would be filled with dirt, which makes it harder to use the next time. One of the methods of protecting the environment is altering the pattern of consumerism. The goal is with the smallest change, to expand the product life.
Neat Blade represents a longer-life product by simplifying the design of disposable razors. users can easily wash the razor and use the product multiple times. first, shave the face and body like shaving with the normal razor, then separate the frame from the main body. The frame protects fingers from blades. Eventually, users can wash razors from the sides
