anyone else shave with a double-edged safety razor?

I just paid 14 dollars for 100 blades fyi.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif 2-3 uses per blade...lets just say that lasts me about a week so....what, almost 2 years worth?

Spent 14 bucks on some soap....that'll last me a year...maybe break even there.

Spent 15 bucks on some pre-shave oil....not sure if I will again, going to try that out and see. Got a brush, too and thats about it. So at worst, with the extra (and possibly unnecessary) purchases I made, I break even after I run out of blades...maybe a bit less.

Sure...I *could* spend much more. There's some crazy mofo's out there that drop 500 smacks on a soap brush, although I think it goes without saying that something like that is retarded. At any rate, I won't be buying shaving items again for close on a year, maybe less if I have to get a refill on my soap. Which is 8 bucks btw, for however many months it lasts me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

So what you are saying is.........you spend more money than me on shaving products?

No....by the time I run out of blades....I will have spent less. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Unless you never buy shaving cream? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

well i havent read the whole thread but the first couple posts seem interesting.

i shave my head, and have for about 3-4 years. i use a fusion power, and i love it.

but besides money, what differences would i get out of switching to one of these? i can usually get a good month or so of shaving my head, out of 1 fusion cartridge. so im basically spending about 15$ every 4 months (45-50$ a year) on cartridges.

im always looking for a better shave, but what is going to make it a better shave?
