Safty razors! Why would anyone spend 20$ on the new fangled 30 million blade razor that mighy last one shave? When you can spend pennies even if you change blades every shave.
I recently switched to a Leaf one and love it. It’s about the same as my Harry’s razor, but a hell of a lot less expensive when even Costco is selling their reloads at $27. The leaf blades are way less expensive, and they aren’t even proprietary.
I got two of these security razors back in 2017 for less than $50 bucks altogether. Best investment ever.
Then, last year I got a Philip razor but I have since just stopped shaving at home. I ask the barber from time to time
Yeah, expensive up front, but the blades are cheap. I got on the Harry’s train before they got bought up and were cheap. Now, whoever bought them has been jacking up prices, which had me looking for a cheaper alternative.
Harry’s also gave me plastic guilt. There is a lot of waste. :p
The thumb screw bit.I still have one of the broken ones I can take a picture of. They did replace it without complaint the first time but just felt not worth it going forward.
Electric and safety razors don’t necessarily serve the same purpose. An electric razor can never cut as close to to the skin as a safety razor. I use both
At some point about a decade ago I realized I’m much happier just paying the extra $8 every couple months when I go to get a haircut and otherwise just letting it grow out.

That leaf one appears to be $120 lol
But I suppose if you find yourself on the Harry’s marketing train, jumping off for anything that’s actually recyclable is good.

Every single leaf I or my wife has had broke. Very good when they worked though. I still use the twig on occasion.
Uh oh, what broke on it?

Hmm, good to know. I’ll be sure to not overtorque it. Thank you!
Switched to a safety razor recently after years of using Gillette’s… It’s life changing! No more bumps or breaking out. Also it’s cheap!
electric razors are just straight up superior though

fair, I don’t care about having a close shave so electric does the job for me

Safety* $20* newfangled* might*
It’s like you consciously added misspellings and bad grammar.
