Disposable Razors - Why?

Message Bookmarked

I don't understand.

What's so difficult about changing the blade?

"Oooh, you can shave and then throw your razor away!"

Why is this a good idea? Why is it any more convenient than shaving and then putting your razor down?

Someone set me right!

Cheaper, in the short run at least

razor - razor with disposable blades - razor with disposable attachments containing blades - disposable razor

seems like a natural progression

the vibrating products trend is designed to accelerate the rapture index you know

i love how all girls do that face when they realise something vibrates.

PROLOGUE

Once Upon a Time ...

A balcony at night.

A man is attempting to open a bubble-packed disposable razor by the balcony. The man looks at the sky through the window-panes and sees ...

A light cloud moving toward the full moon.

Then a young woman's head, her eyes wide open. The razor moves toward one of the eyes.

The light cloud passes now across the moon.

"Oh, fuck it! Can you open this? You've got longer fingernails than me."

End of Prologue.

What does the vibration do? Make you go "oh, it is vibrating, $5 well spent!" or yet more?

I think it's supposed to scare the, er, whiskers into standing up straight, the better to be mowed down. Poor saps.

I notice that most advances in men's shaving equipment - triple-bladed heads, etc - seem to quickly move across into women's shaving equipment too. For some reason, though, the vibrating razors don't seem to have.

hey i just realised the "built over an indian burial ground" thing in Poltergiest is a cautionary metaphor for improperly-disposed-of aa batteries!!

caitlin, I know at least two women who have crossed the aisle to pick up the "men's" vibrating razors...

ooooooh! consumer-culture genderfuck!

i just bought razors with the wrong attachment (for like 14 bucks)

what a fucking abusive business model

as a man who shaves his whole damn head every day damn, but who has skin that will erupt into saw-esque gore if i use even a slightly-less-than-decent razor, i have to say that, after a lady friend left a pack of lady razors at my house once, i have rarely gone back to male razors.

this is my truth.

my head has thanked me, ever since, by not resembling a lump of shredded meat

A few years ago I started using an electric wet razor - dispenses its own shaving cream/gel. Best of all worlds, except having to recharge it periodically. Use it in the shower (with soap or body wash) or not (with cream/gel). Shaves closer than anything I've used before, and doesn't cut very often. Mine's the rotary type so it's designed not to vibrate much. Blades don't need changing very often.
