Any Double Edge Safety Razor Users Out There?

[Owlie]

Another Venus user. All the blades will fit on all handles, which is nice, and I rarely cut myself with it. I hear you on the waste, though. But: I have relatively thick hair, so I go through blades faster (1.5-2 weeks), but I still have most of a Sam's Club package of the things, a year later.

(And is that me, or is the article rather funny?)

DH and I have been using the leg of an old pair of jeans to extend the life of razor blades: http://lifehacker.com/5356529/extend...-pair-of-jeans

I was a bit dubious at first, but it has made a difference, even with DH's Brillo pad beard.

The venus is the best. My husband stole mine because it works so well and uses it on his legs and face. Hair conditioner instead of shaving cream makes it so I don't nick myself. I've never heard of this trick with the jeans. Interesting
