  I dont understand why it matters to see the blades?

    How is the consumer meant to know if they’ve rusted in their packaging?

      Is that real concern that people have or is this sarcasm?

    You don’t even have them on the shelves here (DE). There’s just cardboard and you get the razor blades at the checkout. It’s just quick stolen goods that always find a buyer.

      Do people buy razor blades from shady dudes behind the shop? How would one sell the razor blades they stole?

      In America they’re usually behind a locked plastic case.

  I thought you meant that the package has 3 blade heads, but the shelf tag says 5 blades. ;)

    I will say the “8x” with a picture of blades next to it definitely throws me off

      That’s because some idiot signed off on graphic design that says 8x instead of “contents: 8 razor heads” or w/e. I’ve worked a lot of distribution over the years and there’s a lot of poorly described contents even in boring print on brown box stuff out there.

  The upside is that in this way they use less plastic. Cardboard can’t be transparent and people doesn’t separate the plastic from the cardboard when recycling.

  We all know what razor blades look like so a photo can suffice, no?

    I linked an imgur post of the back of the packaging. It is made from clear plastic, and the blades are hidden behind black paper.

  It’s expensive up front, but I switched to a leaf razor years ago i just had buy a new pack of 100 razors for 19 bucks. I use 3 at a time, but they last a long time.

  They last a long time, are cheaper, I get a better shave (especially since moving to a puck and horsehair brush), and I don’t generate nearly any plastic trash.

  I can’t recommend moving over enough.

    I just stopped shaving. Best decision ever! ;)

      If your beard looked as bad as mine, you’d continue to shave too lol

    I use muhle’s open comb head with feather blades.

    Can’t go back to cartridge shavers.

    (And for the love of all that is holy people, dump the goop. TOBS cream, or even the expensive French soaps like Martin D’Candre are less expensive per shave and just better.)

      Agreed on the feather blades, they make some awesome razors.

    I tried a leaf razor but just couldn’t seem to like it. Switched back to my normal safety razor

    • EatATaco@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Interesting…what do you think is better about the safety razor? I could never really get the hang of them.

  Honnestly those razor-blades are a scam and I spend a lot less money since I switched to safety razors. A bit more technical to use but totally worth it I think
