The Price of Razorblade Cartridges

[RoyalOrleans]

Who the **** sets the prices for these things?

Check out the list of prices on this link ----> Razorblade Cartridges @ shopping.com An 8 cartridge pack is set at twenty dollars? Sure they may last a while, but in their right mind shaves once a year to get their money's worth?

Most men and women use the cartridge based personal razor as opposed to the electric models. I believe they cut better, not prone to the maintenance an electric is, and leave a smoother, closer shave. Not to mention, you don't run the chance of electrocution or battery dying mid-shave.

I use the Gillette Fusion currently and am pleased with its performance. What I find so mind-fuckingly outrageous is the price of the cartridges! In most cases, it is cheaper to buy a completely new razor than it is to purchase the cartridges.

GF, how do you feel about the cost of the cartridge razor?

I only use a razor to shave the bikini line, so I don't have to replace it that often. I use Nair for the legs. I think if I was having to use a razor for my face and replace it fairly often, I would find the price outrageous.

Anyone remember the 90's when we were subjected to the Epilady? It didn't shave, it pulled the hairs out by the roots. Painfully.

I use disposables. a pack lasts me all year.

5 mach three's will last me 6 months. I could go 3 days in boot camp without shaving. LOL!

I was going to pick up some replacement cartridges at Costco and was shocked at the price, usually buying in bulk cuts down on the price.

I plan on having the hair on my legs laser removed one of these days, it would be nice to never have to shave again.

Well from the pictures that I've seen of you, snaffy, a razor would dull itself upon first stroke.

Jesus Christ! That looks like some enhanced form of Red Army torture.

I have an old Sensor that I bought in 91 and it still works fine. I can get a 5 pack of blades for about 6 bucks. The new razors are a ripoff. Who the **** needs 4 cutting blades? 2 is more than enough.

Two bladed cartridges ain't made a **** hair's worth of dough since their ******* inception.

I just keep the beard trimmed up a bit. Ya know off the cheeks. Can't look to scruffy. I keep it looking good.

I use Gillette's Venus for a close shave and you are right, the replacement blades are ******* expensive! I think the last batch I bought at Wal-Mart was around $8 and change for 4 blades.

I tried the Epilady when it first came out. It took about 1/2 an hour of pure torture to clear a 2x2 inch patch of skin on my leg. Screw that.

They sell the **** out of them so the point is?

I'm sure your wife tingles when she smells the shaving cream.

That despite the lackluster reception of the two-bladed razor, the three to five bladed razor has all the bells and whistles, marketing gimmicks, and pretty packaging one can expect in this dominion of toiletries.

Let's not forget ******* Nair for Men.
