Clark Howard is often advertising the fact that you can use one razor for months at a time. We’ve had a couple friends (Drew and Scott) who have tried it and can attest. Drew was able to use his Gillette two-blade razor for one full year! Chris is now in the process of using his cheapie razor to see how long it lasts.
What Clark Howard says is that the razor doesn’t dull because of shaving. It actually dulls because of moisture corrosion from being wet and having water on the blade. The way to combat this is to dry the blade when you are done shaving and to leave the razor blade outside of the shower (away from moisture). Chris is actually patting it dry and then using a hair dryer for a couple seconds to blow the moisture from the blade.
If you have been using expensive blades, this is big savings per year. A six pack of razors might last you three years!
Here is an article with more details from Clark’s site. Check out the comments below the article for more people who attest.
