I have a similar thing with razor blades. I'm honestly baffled when I see commercials for Dollar Shave Club and they talk how they deliver shaving products, including razors, to you each month.
When I started to shave around age 17, I got one of these Gillette 5-blade razors, and it came with two replacement heads in the same box. When those were worn out, I bought a 10-pack of replacement heads. I'm now 31 years old and I'm now halfway through that same 10-pack.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoAre you sure you can buy a 10-pack of these today, made to the same specifications as then? I think of more planned obsolesence here.
- majewsky 6y agoIf I find in 10 years that the next pack of replacement heads does not fit with my current razor handle, I'll just buy a new handle. Doesn't matter.
- Veen 6y agoI think it depends how coarse and plentiful your facial hair is. Mine is thick, dense, and fast-growing. Before I grew a beard, I shaved every day, and one of those five-blade razors would last about a week before it blunted and became uncomfortable to use. That gets expensive fast, so I switched to an old-fashioned safety razor.
