I was speaking to a friend of mine about shaving and he was saying oh yeah I've used the same razor the whole time I've been shaving, about 5 years. So I said well yeah, you don't throw the handles out, just replace the blades. (he uses a cartridge) and he said ... um.. no.. I mean the blade part. How the hell is that even possible!? for the record he never looks like he shaved with anything other then a butter knife but wouldn't that start to hurt and get rusty and gross after a while?
You need to point out the little plastic cover over the blades. The cartridges shave much better when you remove those plastic covers
I very seriously doubt he was lying, he said it like he had absolutely no idea you're suppose to change them.
Wow! Can you say poorly shaven masochist? :happy102 Back in my dark shaving days I'd stretch it just to save a few $'s but I doubt I ever went for more than a month with the same cartridge. The horror!
the weird thing is he really didn't seem to think it was weird. Like nobody told him you change the cartridge at least once a week. He also said it works fine :happy102
It sounds like the whole Gillette multi million dollar advertising campaign was lost on him. I hate to say this but slip a couple cartridges in his stocking this year, that oughtta hold him for the next few decades!
I wasn't thinking of a straight up lie, but more like exaggeration or otherwise modifying the truth. But how could he miss the fact that the blade gets dull and clogged? I could never get more than one shave per cartridge. I'd get serious irritation and burn if I pushed it past one. I can't imagine what this guy suffers through!:sick007
This is awful. 5 years on a cartridge. Heck, D.Irving79 doesn't go that far. He only uses a blade for a month or so before he get rid of it. :happy001 Your friend is nuts I think.
Maybe he has a really good prep method and the whiskers are just super softened. A dull knife can slice butter. :happy102 Something tells me that is not the case...
