Death of a Razor God | The Immortal Razor is not so Immortal

Filed under green living, reusing, save money.


Re-enactment of me shavingIt’s true; after 6 months of using the same razor blade (by applying the ancient Immortal Razor Technique), it is time to lay the ol’ blade to rest.  Faithfully it has served me, but in the last week or so, I could feel some dullness.

By cleaning mess out of my razor and drying it every time I used it, I stretched its life to half a year, a lot longer than the average razor!

If you haven’t tried it, I heartily suggest you try cleaning out your razor blade and drying it (with a towel or what have you) after each time you use it.  Not only will you save money, but you’ll also be reusing some good ol’ resources by putting forth only the slightest of effort.  ‘Tis a win-win situation, ’tis.

P.S. It turns out my razor came with two blades, so I didn’t have to buy a new razor at all, just put in the new blade and bah-bam, new razor.

    Superman is disappointed that ecojoe does not practice freedom of speech. Your hippie censorship is appalling.

    I’m disappointed (but not surprised) that you are too cowardly to put your real name or email. For shame Superman, for shame.

    superman keeps his identity to himself not because he is scared for himself but for others who are close to him. so he is a coward in that sense.

    nice job with the adhominem attacks calling me a coward rather than addressing the fact that you are a censoring hippie.

    I erase your comments because they’re worthless. C’mon Thanh, this is lame.

  7. superman Says:

    why…worthless? as to other comments? :-( .

  8. ecojoe Says:

    The thing is your comments get Gangsta Pat so riled up that I get worried about his blood pressure. Superman is all about saving people, not killing, yeah?

  9. superman Says:

    ha ha. good ol Gangsta Pat.

    You could also try rubbing isopropyl alcohol on the blades as it will dry the water off. I used to do it to my razors but then I just got out of the habit, after seeing your success I am going to start up again, but just use an old toothbrush. Thanks!

    Yeah, I actually used to use an old toothbrush, but I lost it. That is too good that you’re starting up your alcohol habit again, good to hear :)
