check in if you can't remember the Last time you changed razors
i was just thinking this today as i was shaving: it might be weLL over two years since i changed the bLade. it was stiLL doing the job so why fix what ain't broken.

then, as i was counting aLL of the money i must have saved on repLacement cartridges i nicked myseLf; then again; and again; and again.
apparentLy i'm not as thick skinned as i thought. time to change razors.

1. I use disposable razors.
And I only shave once a week because I have "sensitive skin". Nonetheless, it's still thick.

Jeebus do I hate facial nicks. Especially the ones that won't stop bleeding and you have to leave for work.

3. Yeah, a dull razor cuts more than a sharp one. And cause razor burn!
Cartridges are expensive though! I try to change mine every couple of weeks.

4. When I read this thread
I was like...wow...I probably haven't changed mine in about two weeks...I can't believe it is been two years for you! You blew my mind right out the back of my head.

And shame on you JackBeck...disposable? You can get a really nice razor that will be better for your sensitive skin!

5. Those scare the hell out of me.
Something you should know about me.

I'm quite clumsy.

Opening a box of razorblades is the last thing you'd want me to be doing.

6. Very infrequently.
Mach 3 Turbo cartridges cost $36 for 16 at BJ's! I just use the old upstairs trimmer to get the shadow at those prices.

8. Every time I shave. Sometimes I use two.
I get ingrown hairs like a mofo if the thing isn't sharp. A real problem coughcertainplacescough.

9. It's been about 6 months. I will probably cut myself now that you brought this up.
Thanks...
