Razors are expensive

I have used the same electric shaver for 7 years. I was in a grocery store the other day and and razors (not including the handle) went as much as $30!!! wtf im suprised more people don't buy electric. I paid i think $20 - 30 for my electric and it works great. I've never bought a razor in my life and i can't see buying anytime soon. Some guys I know buy razors several times a month and there allowance is not big nor do they have much more facial hair than myself.

electric for the win.

?

 

It's not that expensive. 2 cartages ($20) lasts me around 2 - 4 months, each cartage has 4 razor replacements for Mach 3 Turbo. If you dry off the blades after you shave, the blades will last longer..

I stopped using electric years ago because it always left stubble and it irritated my skin bad.

 

god razors are SO expensive... i had an electric one before, but it wasnt that great, real blades make my legs nice and smooooth...

i just buy disposables..maybe i'll invest in a good razor soon ..

 

and its really annoyin when you buy razors and your brother and sister steal them

 

i only get a rash from shaving if i go quickly. if i take my time its not problem.

 

A few years ago I got into wet shaving. I bought two gillette double edge razors off ebay, one from the 1930's the other the 1950's. I got them both for around $30. One's stainless steel, the other brass, they'll last a lifetime. Razors blades are about 30 cents a piece. You can get 5 packs for around 3-4 and the blades last almost a month each.

 

A good quality razor can last way longer than the equal values worth of crappy razors, not to mention do a better job and do it faster, ... but yes you still kinda cringe when you are going to buy them.

As for electrics, I always bought them for my ex, and he claims his latest $30 purchase off ebay works as well as the different ones I had bought him over the years generally between the $200-$400 mark. If a cheapo works that well and they dont irritate you then it would be a much better investment in the long run.

 

I use electric and it makes my soon to be beard grow back slowly. Everytime I tried a razor the hairs grew back waaay faster haha. With electric it takes a month for a lil bit to show xD
Razors feel smoooth and it feels bomb to load on the blue aftershave.

 

Electric is just a pain, it takes a longer, doesn't get as close, and if you have coarse hair on a skinny neck prone to ingrown hairs, you need the control of a blade.

 

I stopped using razors and bought one of these to trim once in a while...havent shaved since last october and I like the beard..I wish I would have got the idea of letting it grow earlier




before I would just buy disposable razors..usually Gillette because the quality was good and the price seemed within reason (I stock up on stuff when its on sale)

 

don't shave at all. problem solved.

 

^^ Amen

 

Electric's not as good, though takes less time. So it's electric on work days, wet shave others.

 

i went electric for a couple decades...then i went razor cause i could afford the good ones but now i have a permanent shadow style beard so the cheap razors are fine with an electric trimmer...

last i looked the starter fusion ones was about 15 bucks and the replacement blades are like 10-12 for 6..hey...i saw a documentary on shoplifting that showed how those razors are a very sought after item to the point where they are in special dispensers that make a grinding noise when you open them alerting staff immediately

 

They're not that expensive, especially cos I use a safety razor with single blades which are dirt cheap.

 

I've never seen razors for $30! I can get 12 for $10 easily.

 

Flea markets! 8 cartridges for $11 as opposed to $18-20 at the grocery/pharmacy. I know it would make more sense to just buy cheap ones in the first place, but, no. They just don't work as well.
