Yes Steve, both odd and interesting as a first post. Yeah, I'd have to see a source too ChemErik, that seems like a looooonnngggg time even for a whole lifetime. But welcome to the Den anyways, enjoy your time here.
If I have a full beard and I only shave my neck and upper cheeks, which means I spend less time shaving than most who shave their entire face do, does that mean that if I use my 3, 350 hours of shaving ....that I will live longer?
another ...maybe According to the EPA, two billion disposable razors are landfilled annually. 2,000,000,000.
Cost of disposable It costs just around 8-10 cents per cartridge to produce, but Proctor & Gamble (who now owns Gillette) urged its retailers not to lower the price of the cartridges. It seems the retailers complied due to the large profit they reap on the sale. So do the math...high profit for them.

$38 Million in 1931 Yeah they're making a killing. "More than $38,000,000 is spent each year for safety razor blades in the continuous war against whiskers. Over $1,250,000 goes into new safety razor frames to hold these blades, and $700,000 is the amount still spent each year for straight razors such as barbers use. How many of these razor edges are nearly perfect when new and how many will slice through an adequate number of tough whiskers? How many of them are made of steel tough and strong enough to stand many strappings ?" Source = http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2008...spected-facts-about-razor-blades-and-shaving/
