Tired of Shaving Razors Getting Dull Too Quick?

Yep, pyramids. He needs a pyramid.

[Herodes]

Prayer.

[Vendome]

I use mine for about a month before I toss em.

Not because they are dull but just because I think it’s time for a new blade.

[Keith in Iowa]

Go native. Quit shaving. Problem solved. :)

[Lazamataz]

I pound the whiskers in with a hammer and bite em off on the inside.

Wimp. I hold my face against a wood chipper.

[bolobaby]

Chuck Norris does shave, nor should you.

[Vendome]

LOL

Frickin Dorks.

Too funny.

That contradicts advice I’ve always been given:

“Never let anything grow on your face that grows wild on your ass.”

[You’re not the first person to think of this:]

Damn, so much for original thought.

Most razors come with a plastic cap to put on the razor for travel, why not dry your the blades and use that?

[Hang'emAll]

I’ve been using the Gillette Fusion blades and I find that I can get about three weeks from one blade.......

I agree. Thought they were a gimmick with all the blades and such. But it is a darn good shave and lasts long. The razor head pivots easily and prevents nicks.

The razor also has one blade on the reverse side for trimming sideburns.

For a really clean shave, there’s always the gas grill method.

“I pound the whiskers in with a hammer and bite em off on the inside.”

You wimp...I just pull mine out by hand.

I just use my superior mental powers to focus on them not growing any...

Oh look, something shiny.

I use a weed eater.....

I go to BJ's warehouse, by a whole contain of "good news" razors - there must be a hundred of them in a plastic box - use a new one about once a week.

Like a $20 Timex watch...use it until it wears out, and then replace it...it's too cheap for ongoing maintenance and repair.

Disposables are disposable. If you want durable, get a straight razor.

[Mr. Lucky]

A welding torch not only removes the hair follicle below the skin line, but also avoids those unpleasant razor nicks.

(...and Mrs. Lucky thinks it improves my looks.)

"Most razors come with a plastic cap to put on the razor for travel, why not dry your the blades and use that?"

Because if the blade is not completely dry, that cap will actually trap moisture and accelerate corrosion.

Another thing you can try in lieu of alcohol is acetone. I've been a single guy for quite a few years now, but still keep a bottle of nail polish remover on my counter top. It's an incredible dessicant and is good for cleaning up leather dye, epoxy etc. I suspect it would be even better than alcohol at drying off razor blades although it would have to be used sparingly lest it damage the plastic, rubber and lubrication strips on the blade.

LOL, good idea, let’s pass that along to our Japanese friends. :)
