How much do you shave per month ?

[TexasHusker]

I used to shave once a day until I told my boss to kiss off. Now I'm down to a couple times a month. I'll tell you this, I'm sure saving a lot on blades.

Your perception is razor sharp.

I generally go two days between shaving so that would be about 12 times a month. Currently I shave with a double edge safety razor and I purchased a 100 blade pack of Astra Superior Platinum razors off Amazon for under $12. I generally use the same blade for 3-4 shaves before swapping it out for a new blade. Sometimes if the blade feels good and gives me a comfortable shave I will leave it in longer. Conversely if after 1 or 2 shaves it feels uncomfortable or I nick myself I will swap sooner.

I'll answer even if the question was meant as a joke.

I shave every day but I use an electric razor so my cost is minimal. I think my razor was about $35 on Amazon and I've had it for several years and I'm sure I'll have it for several more years before it needs replacing. So let's say I get 8 years out of it. That's $4.38/year. Pretty cheap I'd say.

Daily with this Braun, pretty good device. It takes a couple of passes but cuts close. Doesn't cut as close as a razor but given it's an electric what do you expect. I prefer this type over a rotary.

Actually Steve I've got you beat. I bought a three head norelco at Big Lots seven years ago at Big Lots for $21. I did some calculating that I use about 1 kilowatt hour every 4 months shaving. Our electricity is $.079 per KWH, so I'm spending about $.02 a month on my shaving, or $.24 per year.

My biggest expense was the shaver itself - as of now it has run me $3 per year. Grand total it's $3.24 per year all-in.

I usually shave 40% of my gross hairs (about 60% net) / week. I find that the percentage of hairs shaved has stayed fairly consistent as I get older due to losing some hair where I want to keep it and gaining hair where I don't particularly care to have it.

I have been looking for non-traditional ways to shave as the current shaving is garbage and I'm looking to diversify.

I shaved my gross hairs once and I assure you I'll never do it again.

nice saving discussion.

This is a personal shaving discussion

I did report it but it is hard to know if it is SPAM when they write things like he wrote, unless you research all of his posts.

Thanks for reporting it. That's generally the best way to get it noticed and deleted.
