How sleek is this metal razor? Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it also encourages long term use instead of repeatedly buying disposable plastic razors.

Bee’s Wrap
Perfect for wrapping sandwiches or fruit instead of using aluminum foil or plastic wrap. I like the idea of gifting bee’s wrap as a stocking stuffer since it is cute and small.
