Dollar Shave Club

I fail to see what has stirred the current "cost of shaving" uproar. These commercials show up frequently and I just don't get it. Been shaving for over 1/2 century w/o going broke over the cost of a disposable razor and still going.
In fact while cleaning out a closet, I found a box containing 4 x 12 count packages of BIC razors that I'd purchased in the forgotten past for $1 per package. I don't like the old single edge BICs but I can use them if I need to.
 
The uproar isn't about the cheap disposables it's the cost of the name brand multi blade lubricating stripped gps and Bluetooth enabled refills for $5-$7 a pop.
 
Having a beard saves me a lot more than a $1. :D :D

When I got out of the Army in 1979,,, I lost my razor. I haven't found it yet!!

(Except it sneaks out of hiding occasionally to trim a few small areas. I'm still using the Trac II big pack of blades I bought over 10 years ago. SCREW the high prices they get for some of the shaving stuff out there."
 
Many years ago I bought a battery powered Norelco razor to throw in my 'get out of here' bag. I still have it and still use it, when I decide I need a trim up. Being old and retired requires me to not shave except when absolutely needed. My 'blade' razor sits in the medicine cabinet collecting dust.
 
I have to shave every day for work. A guy would go broke buying those tripple blade creations. I inherited my grandpa's old safety razor and love the shave I get with it. Blades are cheap and I get about two weeks out of one blade, for about 50 cents apiece. Doesn't get much cheaper than that.

Look into blades on Amazon. I bought 100 for $8.95.
 
Yeah, I watch end of the commercial. Kind of humorous. On the subject of razors, I get mine here.

Pretty cheap but the big thing about them is that since retirement I shave irregularly, meaning whenever I get a little too furry (or when some "event" if coming up that my wife demands I shave for). Due to this, I tend to clog up razors pretty fast rendering them about useless. The defender razors are designed with the blades further apart and can be effectively rinsed out so they don't clog up.
 
FOR THE LIFE ON ME, I cannot understand why any man scrapes his face off. God put that beard there for many good reasons among which it is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Futhermore, any man who "shaves" because some woman asks , or worse yet TELLS, him to do so is a pink-laced-pantylaced whimpo who sits down to take a leak...SHEESH...

And so it goes...

Oh, I would so like to meet your wife and show her this thread. :D :D :roll: I was told many years ago that a marriage has to be 100%-100%. A 50%-50% won't work, as you are only doing it half way.
 
She has read ALL these threads and sees NO problem. That 100%/100% is a pile of hooey if you THINK about it. THINK !!. It is just another excuse for same female to con you and boss you around like a wimpy little boy. AND...that is exactly what you are if you buy into that so-called EQUAL bS all the feminists try to get YOU to agree to, it is b....s...! I saw through this over SEVEN decades ago, so whatin'ell is wrong with all the rest of you so-called 'men'? Just momma's boys forever or WHAT???

AND so it goes...

Some people just like a clean look. God also gave you hair on your head. I imagine yours is dragging on the ground. Or do you cut what God put up there?
 
Cary, I got a Kick outta your post here ! I do trim my beard regularly to keep it in shape.
I actually got my second haircut this year this week at the RCSD Ladies saloon cosmetology school here in RCSD. It is wonderful to go there and have all this babes fussing over your hirsute growth. AND, they so smell sooooooo good.
And so it goes

Yeah, some babes go for that kind of stuff. Look at all the biker babes. :wink:

The one that really irritates me is Todd Hoffman on "Gold Rush". Why doesn't he trim that scraggly mess on his face? It seems to get worse every season.
 
I remember shopping for razors at SAMs Club; I saw a handle and 16 refills for $50, and 50 blades for $16. Call me cheap if you will, but I went for the 50 for $16.
