I buy a pack of bic disposable blades for a few dollars. Use each one for several shaves. A packet lasts for several months.
Yeah, so what if my chin is not as smooth as a baby's ...? I will survive.
The shaving blade industry is a racket of the highest order.
- paublyrne 10y agoI'm not a very hairy guy, but those basic disposable razors are horribly on my face. I tried the Wilkinson sword a few times, the big competitor to Gillette in the UK, and they really were inferior. I now use a Mach 3 or Mach 3 Turbo, which they introduced more than 10 - 5 years ago. I'm sure their newer, fancier brands are better, but for me they're overkill.
- akvadrako 10y agoThe fancier ones with battery powered vibration are more effective. You can't really classify that as overkill because since the blades stay useful longer, it saves money in the end.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI'm not convinced the battery powered ones are more effective in actual shaving quality, but they do seem to make the blades last longer plus I get less irritation from them.
- int_19h 10y agoI used to do exactly that, and switched to DSC a couple of months ago. It's a little bit more spendy (I use their most expensive, $10/month option), but it is also vastly more comfortable on the skin. No regrets so far. I only wish they offered an option to get fewer blades. The only option right now is 4/month, but after some experimentation, I think 3 or even 2 would work fine.
