Why are razors so hideously expensive

for the face, try them single bladed bic jobbies with soap instead of foam.

I once remember someone posting a thread similar to this about a year ago, the general consensus was that the Tesco blades were the best and people found them good.

Holy fook, I fell for that! Went out got some, cheap as chips. My beautiful baby face was ruined in the space of about 3 minutes, and that was half of my face!

a genuine answer to your question: inelastic demand, i.e. it would take a big price hike for people to decide to stop shaving and start looking like YC...

Wish you micky taking gits were right... Would save me the best part of £15 a month. I might look young but I can grow a beard. When I get out of the RAF im having some mutton chops!

Buy something like this (that's not a model recommendation i can't remember what one i have off hand), but it will never brake and new blades are 9.6pence each.

While your at it you can buy some nice shaving soap or cream too.

Much better than all that Gillette ****e.

Just looked it up (got to love online shopping!). I have a Merkur Safety Razor 34 & a Merkur Travel Safety Razor (TE933). Both great, and they will both outlast me and the next nuclear war.

If she sends you the chemist for some and you're bit embarrassed to ask the young lady serving you, ask for "Manhole Covers" - they'll know what you mean

Yep I use Venus, but those razor heads last me a fair while so not too bad.
