Off Topic: Which Double Edge Safety Razor Blades Should I Buy?
June 16th, 2023Apologies. I need to briefly go off topic to personal grooming.
After decades of using disposable plastic razors, I decided to switch to a double edge safety razor to save money. I probably wouldn’t have thought much about it, but when the price for ten shitty plastic razors went to NZ$12 here, I refused to buy them again. (They used to be NZ$8 which felt like a ripoff.)
I also thought that it would be good to get my sons to use safety razors instead of plastic razors when they start shaving. Of course, I experimented on myself first.
I found a double edge safety razor that must have been on clearance on Amazon Australia for NZ$22 (delivered), which included five blades. Works great! No nicks at all. Much closer shave than disposables. My wife was astonished at the difference.
A lot of razor blades come in packs of one hundred. Before I buy, I thought I’d ask:
