What can you get a “Lifetime Supply” of for less than $500?(r/AskReddit)
Razor blades. When i was in the army i got real sick of buying mach 3 cartridges, so i bought a merkur safety razor and a sampler of different razor blades. you can find 100 packs for about $16. I could get 5 days out each blade, even if i shaved every week (including while on leave, lol yeah right) thats 52 blades a year. So at ~$8 a year, $500 will buy you 62.5 years worth of blades. so if from age 17 – 80 is considered a normal lifetime’s worth of razorblade necessity, $500 ought to do ‘er.
ps i made the change about 3 years ago and ive been out of the army for almost 2, since then i have been growing a glourious freedom-beard which has drastically cut down on my razorblade usage.
TL;DR if you’re shaving with razor cartridges, you’re pissing money away
EDIT: Since there is some interest ill throw up some links, Razor and Blades, make sure you get the long handled razor it’s much more comfortable.
I’ve only ever used normal foam in a can type shaving cream, but apparently /r/wicked_edge is the place to go if you want to take a deep dive into the world of shaving, I’m sure they can recommend a nice mug and brush cream if you want to take it to the next level.
Since people have been asking to see my freedom-beard, after about 3 months of being a dirty civilian
