    Default I did the Math

    Ok Im now 32.

    Lets say that I will be shaving 6 days a wk for the next......40 years. That gives us 312 shaves a year that is 12.480 shaves for a life time.

    Now if we assume abt 15 minutes per shave........a total of 187.200 minutes or 3120 hours or 130 days of CONTINUOUS SHAVING

    It takes me 25 minutes to shave. So I get 216.6 days

    How many days did you spend figuring that out?

    Lets say a blade lasts for four shaves, that over 3000 blades. If you shave with a DE that will cost you about 600 € (0.2 €/blade) and if you shave with Fusion you are going to give a great deal of money to P&G

    the overall cost element is also an issue

    Feel free to use these statistics, as well:

    73% of DE shavers report an increase in their virility, while 64% report an increase in their fertility. 68.5% report an increase in virility and fertility.

    59% of DE shavers report that their bodies respond to the complete lack of hair on their faces by growing more hair on their heads. (Don't tell her about the 26% that noted their bodies respond by growing hair on their backs and armpits.)

    41% of DE shavers report increased facility with using and repairing power tools, while only a mere 6% said that an increase in lost limbs as a result of using those power tools impaired their ability to shave.

    54% of DE shavers say they are so satisfied with their shaving gear that they no longer feel disappointed at their inability to afford a hot sports car to go trolling for babes. The respondents who could afford shaving gear and a sports car (7% of total respondents) said the others were lying.

    94.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    Any idea how many gallons of aftershave you'll go through?

    I'm looking forward to spending a couple hundred days shaving now that I know how. :)

    COSTS

    12.480 shaves. If I change blade every 4 times then -> 3.120 blades needed that is

    for M3 Turbo (4 carts per pack)

    3120/4=780 packs x 10.75€ = 8.385€ !!!!

    for DE blades (5 blades per pack)

    3120/5 = 624 packs x 1.20€ = 748.80€

    8385-748,80 = 7.636,20€ saved
