ECONOMY OF DOUBLE EDGE SHAVING – SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR

What was once a simple choice between one and two blades, has now turned into three, four, and five blade behemoths. It is easy to spend hundreds of dollars per year on the fancy branded blades: Mach’s, Quatro’s, Fusions.

Double-Edge shaving can save your budget
With talk of an impending ‘R-word’ or ‘Correction’, every last penny counts. You could save literally Hundred of Dollars by converting to the Double Edge.
It is a very simple equation:
Handle + (Cost of Blade * # of Blade Changes per year)
=Annual Cost

I used Amazon.com to compare prices, as they are one of the cheapest places for Multi-Blade razors – close to Costco prices…prices are always fluctuating, but you will get the point!

Lets look at the current Fusion Power from Gillette:
Handle (with one cartridge) is $11.47, Cartridges are 8 for $22 or $2.75 each, weekly changes.
$11.47 + (2.75 * 52)
$154.47 per year for Gillette Fusion Power Pivot Head Razor

And now compare that to the RetroRazor Weishi and Derby Extra blades
The RetroRazor with shipping is about $36, plus $2.15 cents for 5 pack of Derby Extra changed every 4 days (92 blades per year) – 100 Derby Extra blades through Amazon are about $25 if you want to commit to a years worth…
$36 + ($25 with a few blades for next year!)
$61 per year for RetroRazor Weishi plus Derby Extra blades

For fun, lets look at the ‘Budget’ disposable, Gillette Good News!
Amazon has 36 for $20.37 or $.57 cents each, with blade changes every 3 days (122 per year)
($.57*122)
$69.54

It is easy to see that a High Quality shave from the Double Edge razor can save you Hundreds of Dollars per year…even throw in a Badger Brush and some fun aftershaves and you are way ahead of the game!
