@walden @Geometrinen_Gepardi You can look it up and see that the blades were priced at about 12 for a dollar in the early 1900s, which is about $3-4/blade in today's money. Not "similarly" expensive, but still far more expensive than what they are today.

I’ve been paying less than a nickel a blade and I still make sure to get more than one shave out of each one.

    I’m a med so I can’t shave daily but I can go a fair while on one double edge. And that’s doing both my face and head.

Some stuff is still cheaper. Soldiers at Ft Larned where paying 25 cents for a pencil based on an old price list at the park in 1880 something. Saw it recently when I was visiting it

Thinking damn. Shit is way cheaper now and was surprised. That's alot of money in today's dollar
