The interesting bit for me is that safety razors are nearly impossible to find in normal shops probably because they would be less profitable for the shops too.


Sell a pack of 5 cartridges that last MAYBE a week each (pushing it, you suck it up because they’re so expensive even though they’ve already lost their edge after a single use) for $5-10, or a box of 500 blades that you can change for every shave for over a year for $5. Yeah, retailers love this garbage


A week? What are you shaving with them? Yaks? :-)

My cartridge razors last at least two months before I need to change them. Do you clean and dry your blades after use?
