Rust is the main duller of razor blades.

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

Consumer guru Clark Howard on AM 750 wsb in Atlanta did an experiment. He took a cheap blue disposable razor and used it almost a year...by drying it everytime he used it.

I been doing the same and it works.

I’ve been using the Gillette Fusion blades and I find that I can get about three weeks from one blade. And before all of you start saying stuff about “baby fuzz”, I do have a pretty thick beard.

Shaving is unnatural and a hazardous activity. I quit shaving regularly when I got out of the Army. It has been over 30 years when I shaved last. Save your face grow a beard.

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

The other good tip in the article is to store your razor outside the bathroom in a place where there’s less humidity. I just put mine on my nightstand.

I buy generic razors. The 4 blade disposables. 3 for a dollar at Dollar Tree. I buy the mens razors - I buy the ladies. Don’t care.

I use it every day. Throw it away after 1 week.

Them things give me just as good a shave as the (much) more expensive Gillette razors.

After 3 days I am like grizzly adams, it sucks!

I use"mach 3's" but I scrape and scrape.

Honestly I am about ready to quit, except I like to be clean shaven.

[Codeflier]

Or just buy some more. I don’t understand all this talk I hear lately about making razors last.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Buy blades made of enriched Uranium, after the third shave the hair falls out by itself.

Go native. Quit shaving. Problem solved. :)

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.

"Ret" must signify retired?

With all the money you save, that beach-front retirement home may finally be within reach. :)

I got some 30 year old Gillette stainless blades that have lasted three decades. Beards are cheap.

1. Don’t buy ChiCom double edge razor blades. I cannot get 2 shaves with them (junk metal).

2. I have had good luck with American Safety Razor blades (Personna)

3. If you shave after a hot steamy shower, beard is much softer and the blades last a lot longer.

4. Recently I have been using the Dollar General brand of twin-blade disposables. They seem to last very well.

5. I use Williams cup shaving cream and a brush. Oldie but a goodie. Not convenient for travel.
