Personna Double Edged Blades
These double edged blades are getting increasingly hard to find in
the drug and food stores. But there are a few razor companies, like
Merkur, producing really good razors that use them. Also, bought in
quantity like this, they are quite inexpensive, even when compared
to the drugstore price for the same blades and certainly when
compared to the price of the more modern blades. I usually get a
weeks worth of shaves from one blade. I prefer these blades to the
modern, multi-blade "cassette" blades for a couple of reasons. I
think that they shave just as closely as the newest thing, but that
may be a subjective impression. Regardless, the closeness is quite
adequate to keep me looking clean shaven throughout the day, and I
know that I dont nick myself anywhere near as frequently with
these "low tech" blades. Also, as pointed out above, they are very
much less expensive than the latest rage on a per unit and probably
on a per shave basis. Finally, these blades and the razors that use
them take a little concentration to achieve a good shave. There is
a little skill involved in their use (although nowhere near what it
takes to master a straight razor, which I never managed). That
makes the daily routine just a little more interesting.
