Recurrent sales of inexpensive to manufacture products with a high retail margins. Great for the company, founder, owners etc - of questionable value to the consumer who only shaves twice a week.
Its a great business success story to read about though, https://www.ft.com/content/2aca7c08-4e69-11e6-8172-e39ecd3b8…
How often do you shave? How long does 1 blade last? Which Blade do you use?
Buy a real razor and use double edged blades. For example I use Feather double edged blades (made in Japan - nice and sharp) - you can get 200 blades for $65. If you only shave twice a week you would be changing blades max once a week which means this is enough blades for 4 years at a cost of about $16 a year:

i love the feel of a shave from a double edge blade, but it took me a long time to master and not butcher myself using these. ive since switched back to gillette fusion3. easier to clean than any 3+ blades, and very similar smoothness and i rarely nik myself with them.
Ive also bought a razor belt from aliexpress for about $4 and i use that to maintain the blade. I think any old belt (leather is best) will have a similar effect keeping it sharp. The rubber protectors on the razor come off though after a while.
With this maintainance i go through a blade every 6 weeks, shaving face and head. I can only estimate $30 a year (8 pack is about $30) where i am). best i can do with no bloodlossbest i can do with no bloodloss
Not enough dedication! But seriously lol, that does seem important. And wait, are you saying you sharpen your gillette fusion3 razor cartridges? Huh, didn't know that was possible.
sorry gillette protect 3. home now and checked it. yeah i reckon 3 months and i'd be able to shave without getting excited and earn a few niks.
one of these and i just run the razor upwards, makes a smoothing sound.
They don't really cost just a dollar
Everything costs a dollar…. it just depends on how many times you're paying that $1.
But not just $1.
Edit: Never mind i know what you are inferring with what the stores name is etc lol
Get a beard trimmer and use that. Putting no attachment on the trimmer should be the level your after.
Yeah we get them all the time, handy because they come in automatically, and decent value.
Real OzBargainers only use DE safety razors & blades.
