Very cool, Props to Joel for such eloquently wording his ideas.

Cool.

Trim your spending???

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

But still, cool.

I love the economical references, lets see I just dropped $100 on razors...


Way to go B&B

The comment on multiblade cartridges lasting five months to a lifetime is hilarious. I used to wonder how that Unknown Soldier guy in the comic books got that way, now I think I know....

Thanks, nice article!

Cool beans, good article!

I look forward to reading more next week.

Next week, we'll provide Spending Smart advice on buying safety-shaving tools and supplies.

Though called "safety" razors, beginners are likely to nick themselves until they get the hang of it.

So, uhhh...when do I get out of this beginner phase?

Actually, back a few years ago (with my Fusion), I would basically never throw away a cartridge. One would last on the order of a 1-2 of months I'm guessing. Granted I was shaving once every 3 days, and I was hurting myself, and I was only making one pass, and I wasn't getting that great of a shave...Ok, nevermind, I get it now.

Look at that. Right in my local paper. Congrats.

 

[jsrdrnr]

Nice, very, very nice.

 

[DrZoidberg]

Thats pretty cool. Once you get your setup and the AD's wear off it will def. be cheaper than carts.

 

[blackfoot]

Very cool!

 

[Nadir M]

That was good stuff.

Great article I ain't down with needing a badger brush though. I use a Gillette Standard boar that I got at a junk store for two bucks about five years ago and it works great.

I'm tempted to leave a message comment section plugging my videos.

You should! Your videos actually got many of us started DE shaving again or for the first time.

Thanks for sharing the link! Neat!

 

[Chuckaluck]

nice article!

 

[gurana]

Nice read. I'm not mad at the suggestion that a badger hair brush is needed... probably just an oversight. Anybody that looks into buying a brush will likely see less expensive options for boar's hair.

The premise that DE shaving will save money in the long run is probably accurate for the majority of the people that take part... we're a little skewed on this perspective because we obviously are interested enough in the act of shaving to participate in a forum like this. Fact is, if you went with the DE equivalent of what most cartridge razor shavers use, it would easily be cheaper.

I suppose the reporter may have simplified Joel's comments to include only badger hair. Nevertheless, it's a fine article that will guide many new experimenters to our simple shaving pleasure.
