I don't understand the argument about blades being expensive. A quick look at prices varies in Canadian dollars between $0.55-$0.33 per blade depending on the quantity you purchase. At worst case you get 3 shaves per blade at $0.55 that's $0.18 per shave. That's $0.50 a week. We spend good money on the Razor, the brush and $0.50 a week is to expensive for the part that is actually doing the work.
