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.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.

      the 49ers are likely our worst matchup of the season....

      I’m more upset that we are changing uniforms in the middle of this road win streak. We have won our last 3 road games in Silver Helmets, White Jerseys, and Blue Pants. We are supposedly wearing Black Helmets, White Jerseys, Black Pants this week… I am a superstitious person

      He did so well they are moving him to RB, Legette to QB, and Moton to TE…. Interesting. Coker might struggle at LT https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-release-depth-chart-ahead-of-week-12-for-the-2025-season
