This is Bundu-bar
Meet Bundu-bar, a shampoo and conditioner bar as 'local-is-lekka' as boerewors and Table mountain. This bang-for-your-buck product was conceived to bring a practical, economical shampoo and conditioner product to market. Shampoo and conditioner bars are gaining traction and are already widely used by Zero-wasters, minimalists, travelers, sportspeople, folk who advocate responsible living and persons passionate about the environment. Although we certainly hope to gain part of this market, we are aiming much wider with our targeting of everyday consumers, it is meant to be a simple first step into reducing one's personal waste. Most consumers are becoming aware...
Even the blind can see....
I recently met this very cool couple Douw and Briony, they are both blind and live in a flat in Roodepoort. Apart from being two amazing individuals, they are keen Zero Wasters, in other words they are adapting their lifestyle to generate less waste, live cleaner, and aim to develop wiser consumer behaviour. They buy products as natural as possible, and are also trying to buy plastic free or unpackaged. Douw has been surfing the net (how does he even do that being blind!) looking for ways to green-up his grooming routine and came across our website. After a bit...
Razor blade disposal
What you got to love about safety razors is the fact that they are environmentally friendly; you'll only need a shoe box full of blades to last you 50 years and they contain no non recyclable plastic bits! Spending a few bob to fill up a box of blades makes lots of sense, it saves you loads of money, takes up very little space and gives you the peace of mind that you will be knocking out cool shaves for years while others will be looting stores or scraping beard off their chins with old food tins found in landfill!...
Lather staying power
When you get into classic wet shaving you will learn about certain terms not quite beknown to you, one such concept is the 'staying power of lather'. This is quite important as traditional wet shaving can become a lengthy affair if you fall in love with to-die-for shaves. My face likes a single pass with the grain on my cheeks, and a single pass across the grain in my neck, but some guys like a 3 pass shave; with, across and against the grain on all parts of their face to get a BBS (Baby butt smooth) shave. Those guys lather up...
Is fênsie lyfseep vir my?
Definitief. Kom ek verduidelik, want in SA praat mans nie 'lyfseep' om die braaivleisvuur nie, as ek jou nie hier gaan vertel nie is die kanse goed dat jy nooit 'n opinie van 'n man daaroor gaan hoor nie, jou vrou weet ook mos bôggerol van wat goed of sleg is vir jou vel. Jare lank het ek die goed gekoop waarmee ons groot geword het, Lux, 'no-name brands' Palmolive en later Dove, in die 90's begin die maatskappye met die 'shower gels' of vloeibare seep en dit word toe net die ding. Jaar in en jaar uit ondervind ek...
