Every guy needs a clean shaven face from time to time so today's highlight is my personal razor.
I got tired of the ridiculousness of the amount of blades they put on razors these days and price they charge for them. I was spending upwards of $20.00 for a five pack of blades! So I went vintage.
And here is an excellent example of a functional, cheap to use razor. The Gillette Adjustable Safety razor. Double sided so you can actually shave longer before you have to wash it clean.
It's Adjustable for the blade flexes from 0-9 depending on the thickness of your beard. It's all stainless steel so no plastic parts to break or metal to rust.
Plus it just looks like a razor a Guy should own. I use the whole brush and mug but that's for a later blog.
And now the best part. I bought this in it's original case for around $15 bucks and bought a box of 250 double sided blades for about $50.00 bucks. I use a blade a week. So I do the math on that one! I'm good for five years!
Other models are out there, but for me this one does the trick great. It's vintage, it's cool and it saves me money!
I was tired of paying ridiculously high prices for blades too! I searched high and low and finally found 2 adjustable safety razors at a country thrift store. They were $2.00 each! The store sells blades for them at the ridiculously low price of $2.50 for ten double edge safety razors. Awesome, the double edge is like getting 2 blades in one! It's great to know I'm not the only one who has thought of this.
