Straight Razor by House of Sims
Razors-I go between electric and the multi-bladed types, but mostly shave in the shower with a three bladed model-well used….. I will admit I have a fairly easy face to shave. I gave up my mustache when the grey went past 50% and never could grow a great beard.
I have always hated paying the price of the new multi-bladed razors-even at Sams Club, they seem outrageous. So when I saw this article in the WSJ about store brand razor blades it caught my eye. I haven’t seen them-the author tried them out and felt they were well worth the ~half price-compared to the full priced brand named three blade system.
Now although I am past 50-by just a little-no comments Lisa-I know I have male and female nurse ( and non-nurse) readers. I also know that some of the razors for women are priced higher than its male counterpart-just because it’s pink…..
But I will try to find one of these store brand models (CVS is what is mentioned in the article above) and give it the ole shave test- and see what I think. Although my Mayor, (regular readers know I am on the city council in my fair town)-owns a local pharmacy, and if he sees me, slinking into my local CVS, my goose may be cooked…
Now Gillette sent the author of the article above one of their new 5 bladed razors to try out-maybe they will send a poor blogger one too, although the 4 plus bucks for each refill seems a might steep for this guy……Or maybe CVS will send me a few of their new store brand products-at least that will keep me from getting in trouble with the Mayor!
