  Podcast ads finally got me to try a safety razor. Turns out they are actually pretty good.

    And the blades are so cheap in bulk you can use a fresh one each shave if you are like me and grow things out each week.

  I was going to link the SNL triple track razor parody commercial from 1975. But oddly it’s not on YouTube. I guess it hits too close to home for advertisers.

    Here’s the Onion’s “Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Blades” from 2004.

  Take the time to figure out a safety razor combination that works for you and you’re set.

  I still use an old gillette because somebody gifted me a pack of 100 blades but if I had to choose my own I hear safety razors are really popular rn.

    Yep I bought the youtube ad safety razor and a blade sample pack, it’s been great. I’m paying 8€ for a pack of 100 blades instead of 3€ per cartridge lol

      I manage to slice my face occasionally with cartridge razors, I fear what I’d do to myself with a safety razor.

  No no no! What are you guys DOING??? Stop shaving! I haven’t shaved in years! Sometimes I trip over my beard, but when I walk into a room shirtless, covered in honey, people notice. I walk in, hold up a stick and yell “I DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR AUTHORITY! THIS ESTABLISHMENT HAS NOW BEEN BOARDED BY THE VIKINGS!!! RAAAAWWWWRRRRR!!!”

  And suddenly starbucks gives you free drinks! Also, if they don’t, you burn the tinderbox to the ground. Ghosts and all. They know it’s coming. They know there’s some random vikings out there in the world, and one day they’ll ransack your building if you don’t give them free spoils.

  Then one day as a viking is laying claim to his new domain, a pirate walks through the front door. Assisted by canon fire from outside. That’s when you know it’s on! Because Blackbeard don’t fuck around with razors either! My god! Why are you people shaving! Go steal a boat! Or go steal a house! Why are you applying to be an accountant???

  The last time I used actual blades was the Mach 3, which worked great.

  Not I just use a Philips Oneblade.

    Same. I call them “cartridges” for lack of a better word but they last over a year each for me and still haven’t shown the “time to replace” indicator.

  I got a Henson single blade years ago and I’m still on my first box (of 100) blades. It’s delightful.
