The razor blade cost comes out to more than what i was spending on shampoo…
Get a DE Razor. You can buy a 100 pack of blades for the price of 4 cartridge type blades. Plus they give a way better shave! They aren't as forgiving as the cartridge type though so you'll need to take your time until you get the knack of a DE razor.
If you go for that, take your time and do your research on razors, don't pick the first one, and don't worry on spending 100+€/$ on one, you can hand down that thing to your great grandkids.
It'll also save* you money in probably a year, depending on what you were using before. (*Not including software, because we all spend too much on that after we start.)
Ya, tried the safety razor route multiple times, but always end up going back to cartridges.
Theyre easier to use (especially when im in a hurry) and dont irritate my skin as much
I get the store brand 4 blade cartridges $20 for a 12 pack with a handle. Lasts me about three years shaving twice a week.
I try the DE again every so often but am never happy with it. The soap puck and brush are great though. The only time I use canned foam is when traveling.
