I went down that route too.. I’m back on vibrating 16-blade razors now.
I have some thick hairs - I can kill 3 disposables in a morning. With the ridiculously expensive cartridges it costs me about $20 per season to shave.
And I’m sure that when there are 20 blades on the thing they’ll offer financing. :)
I had difficulty shaving for years, wearing out blades and having difficulty getting the blade through the beard then I started shaving in the shower. Last thing I do before toweling off. The hot water and soaking makes all the difference. Beard comes off easily and the razors last much longer.
I did the straight razor thing for a while when I was young—mug, brush, the whole nine yards.
But then they invented disposable twin blade safety razors and canned shaving cream.
I also gave up my hand saw for a Skill saw, my manual typewriter for a computer, and the pitch-soaked rag on the end of a club for a flashlight.
you can extend cartridge blade life by drying them after shaving. water rusts and dulls the edge. i shake the razor, then do several strokes across my towel to dry the blades. you’ll get more life out of them, lots depending on how you personally shave.

Same here. I tried using an electric razor. After the razor burn subsided I shaved with an electric for about 3 months. It worked but it didn’t feel right.
Preference I guess.
I figure when they get past 6 it will change to a wall mount and we will just rub our faces on them.
What the heck....you shaving your legs too? : )
