Gillette doesn't still send razors to 18 years to hook 'em while they're young?

gilette is pretty much the only game in town. that, or shell out for a norelco, which doesn't work too well on tough-bearders

i have a friend who wants to get into cut throat razoring. he can't even keep a clean house and barely keeps a running car, I doubt he can maintain the edge of a razor.

also I too use a safety razor, its cheap as poo poo. ten blades for a dolla.

Seriously. It's not a gimmick. It's legit the superior product.

I've literally found no downside to a safety razor over a modern thinger beyond hte first few times when you're getting the angle down

It's actually super hip right now to use those things if you are 25.

I still use the mach 3 handle that gillette sent me on my 18th birthday. If you get that reference you are actually old.

Ok that's cool and all but what that means is that you've been massively overpaying for razor blades for a really loving long time

I have had a full beard for over a decade so I just shave my neck with the Mach 3 and a blade lasts me 3 months. My annual blade cost is about 20 bucks. Possibly less.

I have nothing against old school safety razors, I was responding to the dude who assumed only old people use them.

The point is, none of these products are supposed to be gendered.

We all get chapped lips and sunburn, we all wash and like to smell nice, we all have the same tastebuds and sense of smell: who decided to gender scents and food?
Depending on the country: it's the man who gardens or the man who cooks, the man who drinks wine, the man who wears a necklace and a bracelet.
This Pink vs Blue nonsense from cradle to grave baffles other cultures.
Even gaming that has skewed towards a "no girls allowed" market since the late 80s still has 48% of female players hanging on with their headsets turned off.
It's so random too:
high heels were designed for men and at some point they became a sex symbol for women to the point where high heels=women and wearing them as a man makes you a freak.
Coding used to be done by women and now it's seen by mainstream culture as a man's profession.
Depending on the era, men can wear long hair and then they can't.
Male babies wore gowns until the 70s.
Pink used to be the boy colour as red was for men.

Somewhere, someone decides on this poo poo and it sticks: who decided that black people liked watermelon and fried chicken? Everybody likes watermelon and everybody likes fried chicken! KFC isn't going out of business anytime soon right? Japanese people have watermelon and teriyaki (fried chicken) on summer holidays and festivals and it's a big deal. But someone decided that on that dumb racist idea and it stuck. Just like someone decided pink was for girls only even though historically, blue was for girls because, before that, someone had decided that pale blue was the colour of Mary. The world is nuts.

Maybe in ten years: popcorn will be for girls and chips for boys because someone decided to sell it that way: "Sweet is for girls and salty is for boys so you're eating the wrong thing! How dare you?"

I bought my razor and all my blades through Amazon.

Since August 17, 2010, I've spent this much on them: $48.94

Add in the Walmart shaving cream (Barbasol), and I'm probably spending $15/year to shave a few times a week. And since the razor was $35.71, that figure'll just get better every year.
