Shaving..with a safety razor!
Woohoo!
My husband I have been using Gillette sensor razors for years. We are disgusted with P&G, but just never think about buying a new razor set when at the health food store {imagine that chasing 4 kids!}…or take the time to do the research about which ones are good, cost effective, etc. So..we have just kept on with the old.
While garage sale-ing at our community garage sale last week, I happened upon a set of 2 old safety razors. GOLD! I have wanted to try these for some time… but where the hell do you buy one? And would I want to commit to the cash for that if I didn’t know I was gonna like it? .50 cents period. For 2 razors! You can barely tell they were used, but are obviously in very good condition. A nice old couple, grandparents in the back of our neighborhood, it was her dad’s. Sweet! They were all mine. Off to grocery to get the blades, I hope. Score again! 12 double-sided blades, 2.45.
$2.45 (.20 cents each) !! Gillette’s are 8 for 10.50.(1.31 each}
Thppppt! Yuck, and ‘razor burn’…is not from shaving..its from that goop on the razor that slides on after.
I tried it out. It’s a little different, but it worked well the first time. I was really scared, but there was nothing to fear. The next time I did way better. I love it, and I don’t have to but those evil slimy Gillette razors anymore.
w00t!
My husband has being a safety razor for quite some time and I fianlly broke down and tried it myself. I absolutely love it! It isn’t nearly as scary as I thought it would be and my legs have never been so smooth and without razor burn. I am quite excited to have found something that works so well and is cost effecient. I recommend a lady gillete. You can find them on ebay. They have a longer handle than the one my husband uses and are much easier to hold. Glad to find a fellow lady who likes the safety razor.
