NIMBI
Nimbi is built on the ambition to re-engineer plastic products that are used everyday on a mass scale and find a plastic-free solution.

Nimbus plans to continually improve it in terms of environmental impact, constantly testing the design with new and improved materials, as technology develops. Its unique premium blade lasts longer than multiple cheap blades, eliminating surplus steel, reducing the carbon footprint.
