I enjoy shaving now where as before I would avoid it as much as possible, mostly on weekend i wouldnt shave since my job requires it. Its crazy to think that $16 is enough razors to last 30 weeks. cant really beat $30 a year on razors. gillete fusion blades are about $160 a year to change them once per week. i wonder how long the shaving cream, after shave, and pre shave oil will last.
As I stated above, you'll get different results based on blades and razors. Most folks change blades between 3 and 10 shaves, but since they are so inexpensive I don't push one past about 5 shaves. I've converted about 1/2 dozen guys I work with to wet shaving, and they can't get over the fact that it is less expensive and gives a better shave than their previous 4/5 bladed razor.
