Title: Where do YOU buy razor blades?
Post by: spanner on November 20, 2014, 04:37:42 PM

This is not a joke.

Sorry...


After having come from a well paid job where I did not really need to think about the cost of personal items like blades, deoderants and toothbrushes I have now found my income somewhat reduced and more enlightened as to the real costs of things.

My biggest 'wake up call' was with razor blades! 

Up to $5 per blade!!!!  :eek  considering they only last 3-5 shaves it is EXSPENSIVE!  .....   I shave my face and head!

where do you buy your blades?

Shops, discount store, internet?

What other products do you use for facial hair removal?

 .... and before you offer I am NOT waxing my head nor letting it grow!   :OldMan

be really interested to know about other savings for general stuff you might have.

Supermarkets

5 packs of branded disposable blades about $5/6.......either twin or triple blades in girls or guys as they're all the same and last me about a month or longer.

Bic - pack of 10 disposable for $5.20. Choice magazine did a review of all possible types of shavers back in 1992 and the Bic was best value for money overall. I started buying them in 1993 and still do!

House of Man - wax jobs last indefinitely - well, they used to. I think they've shut down now. Their wax supplier retired after me :grin

I use a 'lekky razor on the face, and 'lekky shears on top.. haven't bought a blade in 35 years.
The day I left the army was the day I threw away my iron and bought wash and wear shirts, and a 'lekky razor for $13.
Had to replace the razor 5 years ago, and replacement from ALDI was still under $20, I doubt it will last as long as the other one, (but then, neither will I )

Under 'general' stuff... I buy two kilo of chicken drumsticks from ALDI for $5.99... I eat 3 for a meal, around 15 drummies per bag, pretty cheap feed in my books.
3 packs for $18 is enough to last me two weeks. (I cook veges to go with it, and usually only eat 1 meal per day)

That 'leccy razor wont last too long on feathers.  :crackup
Last razor blade I bought was in 1976. Couldn't be bothered after they ran out so haven't bothered since.
