Unrelated protip: Steam is what causes the blades to degrade so quickly. If you leave your blades outside of the bathroom, they last for a long time. I've used the same blade for about six months so far.
- kree10 16y agoI've been using this technique with a disposable blade for the past few months: http://consumerist.com/2010/03/make-your-disposable-razor-blade-last-for-20-months.html http://consumerist.com/2010/03/make-your-disposable-razor-bl... I keep my razor in the shower, too, though maybe if I didn't it could go even longer.
