Over a year and a half ago I noticed how much I was spending on shaving products. After a bit of research I discovered safety razors and never plan of going back to modern razors again.
I was a little skeptical the first time I used a safety razor. After all, a triple-blade razor has to give a much better shave than a single-blade razor, right? Wrong. After my first smooth shave I personally validated that modern razors are just a bunch of marketing hype. Not only did I get a great shave in the same amount of time, but it was dirt cheap too.
A year and a half ago I spent $22 total for a safety razor, 100 extra blades, shaving soap, a bowl, and a brush, and not only have I not restocked during this time, but expect it all to last me at least another year and a half. For my shaving habits that is $7.33 a year! How long do you think you could get by with $7.33 of modern razors and shaving cream?
Here is a break down of everything I bought to start out along with the prices at the time of this post:
Total: $22.74
To get an idea of how long this will last you based on your shaving habits, each blade is usually good for 3-5 shaves. If you are just doing touch-ups or have a thin beard, it can last much longer.
Anyone else ever used a safety razor? Or have any questions about them? Talk about it in the comments section below.
