Do you buy replacement blades or get a new razor?

Believe it or not, I just started using a razor, mainly because I have really sensitive skin (I was previously just using a trimmer). Long story short I've found out what all of you already know, the razor is cheaper than the replacement blades.  This may sound like a stupid question because I'm sure most of you just buy the replacement blades, but do any of you get a new razor all together?

I'm with ya on the electric razor. I gave up using them probably 25 years ago when I got tired of them just not getting it done. But I have big hands and finding a razor that feels comfortable is tough and my current razor is about 3 years old. As long as the blades are available for it, I'm happy.

 

I'm a pretty frugal person, but when it comes to creature comforts and personal hygiene I don't spare any expense.

That's fuggin' brilliant! Unfortunately, with my baby face, there's no way I need 4 cartridges per month. I only need to shave Sunday night and Wednesday morning in order to keep a clean face for the office. I could just subscribe for two months and be set for the year.

 

And in regard to the OP, I got a Shick Quattro for free Freshman year in college in my welcome package, and I liked it so much that I've held onto it. I bought one crazy expensive set of replacement blades, and then never reinvested, and have just bought and thrown away other razors (usually in the Christmas gift sets where you get a razor, replacement blades and shaving cream for about $20. (And yes, buying one of those every December lasts me the entire year, my beard grows that slowly. I'm 26.)) But Groupon just had a deal for Shick Quattro heads that was too good to pass up, so I'll be using my favorite shaver again!

 

 

You must have the Joe Dirt growth pattern.

I use Shick Hydro 5...I buy the cartridges at BJs for cheap.  Since I change blades about every 3 weeks, the 16 pack I just bought will last me about a year.

I switched to a old school double edged safety razor (pack of 10 blades that I use is $3.58 shipped on amazon)

I'm never going back to the overpriced crap, not only is it cheaper, but I get a better shave with no razor bumps.

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
