    I just get a few blade banks from Em's Place for $1.00 each. Each bank holds about 1 years worth of blades, and is small enough to fit in the medicine cabinet. When it gets full, I put tape over the slot and chuck the blade bank in the recycle bin.

    I was in a whole sale club the other day and saw that a package of 14 Gillette fusion power carts was going for $45.99. That's more than I paid for some of my safety razors...You could get a new EJ DE89 and a 100 de's for that price!

    I got 100 Super-Max super platinum for $8 with free shipping because of another order. I will be getting 100 Feathers for $26 on my next order. Blades are cheap, even the elite. :eatdrink047::happy069:

    I bashed a slot into a mason jar lid and epoxied it shut. I can probably fit 1000 blades in there before I gotta toss it

    I shave with my blades. :happy102:

    I couldn't help myself. I put the used blades in a blade bank.

    I use them over and over and over and over and ..... ad infinitum.

    My Rolls blades are over 50 years old and just getting warmed up.

    Yeah, but it doesn't buy the half dozen artisan soaps, 8 imported creams, 5 bottles of aftershave lotion, 4 brushes, or the artisanly crafted handmade scuttle that breaks when you drop it in the sink.

    Real post: $46 for a 14 carts?! So glad I got off that crazy train.

    Yes, but I'm a minimalist ~2 soaps, 2 creams, 2 brushes, no scuttle, and only 2 dozen razors.

    But yeah, I would much rather spend the $46 on any of the above...and I think I would vomit if I had to spend it on 14 carts.

    Um 2 dozen razors counts as minimalist?
