For me, single blade razors offer a better shave. The fact that it's cheaper is just a bonus.
- vinceguidry 12y agoNot for me. I got a safety razor a few years ago, never looked back until I found myself traveling, and, unable to bring my blades, just went to the grocery store and got a cheap three-blade razor. Night and day difference.
- WalterSear 12y agoIt depends a lot on the quality of the blades, and if you store them dunked in mineral oil between shaves. Some brands of blades I got were garbage out of the box. None of them were much good if they had been left out for a few days after use - same are disposables in that regard.
- vinceguidry 12y agoEven getting a brand new blade just isn't as good as a mediocre modern 3-blade razor. I had to face the facts that I really just moved to single-blade motivated mostly by the savings and the irrational belief that the way we used to do things is better than iterated, market-driven technological advances in consumer goods.
- sukilot 12y agoI don't get the money saving aspect. If you want to be frugal, just grow stubble or a beard. A $3 razor will last for over a month.
