Dangerous There is a main day while shaving. But in this case, it was inevitable. My main day was about shaving.
In the last few weeks, my bathroom routine has been a bit like George Clooney. Oh, where are the artists?Except for the smelly Darfer Dan. I foamed the shaving soap with brushes and bowls and shaved with old single blades, single edges, and unpaid safety shaving.
Specifically, I use leaf thorns. Stylish and well -established, independently “aggressively” razor with a single edge with a wafer, and the company imprints them with the words, “I’m not plastic.” Less aggressive leaf single edge razors are called twigs and are softer than thorns. All are very cute.
But what I learned is that I have a wrong shave after a smooth shave with my thorns.
Sharp
Lord’s Day is clear at first. The safest and most safest day is always sharp blades. The best kitchen knife is to keep you sharp. The same is true for scissors. And you are the same on the day you put in your face. Leaf’s Low Tech, Simple Single Blade was cut in close contact with the wonderful cartridge blade settings I tried in the market. This is because most of them are still sharp.

Because there is a problem here. It is not important whether there is a 15 -story stack blade cartridge equipped with whistle, lighting and reaction AI. Dull blades are terrible and all blades are dull when used. And when the blade becomes dull, it starts to pull my hair without cutting my hair, stimulates the skin, and causes a small nick when the skin pops out. Alas, modern cartridge -based shaving blades that dominate supermarkets are expensive and often uncomfortable to replace them. For 10 packs, it is about $ 30 or $ 40.
The price is added. hour The magazine already knew this game in 1927. “As everyone knows, safety shaver manufacturers derive most of their profits from replaceable blades, not razors.” Slight mythBut the business logic of shaving still remains inevitably. The money is in the blade.
So I resist the exchange for too long. And pay the price. Even if Gillette and other razor manufacturers advertise that the blade cartridge is suitable for a few weeks of shaving, my own rough and evil beard tends to eat much faster than I want to replace through the cartridge. So I keep paying a blade installment, or pay taxes in the form of bad shaving.
Safety dance
The leaves provide the opposite shaving theory. The money is in the handle. Blade is instead of cheap, small and ubiquitous. Thorns are old -fashioned safety shaver. Regardless of the classic, it is compatible with almost all good old -fashioned safety blades. Astra platinum (You need to snap the double edges in half) or Leaf ‘s His blade. The backpack is less than $ 20.
