When you are spending up to $4 a blade for the latest Gillette or Schick 4 and 5 blade razor, you want to make sure you get your money’s worth and make those blades last. If you can get more shaves per blade and keep the razor sharp you can save money. So after doing some digging around, I’ve found some useful tips you can use to make your razor blades last longer.

The biggest key is to keep your blades dry after using them.  The Chicago Tribune reviewed all the methods for prolonging the life of razors but found the best way that worked was to dry your razors after using them. (source)

The science behind it is that razors become dull due to oxidation and mineral deposits more than from shaving. When water stays on the blades for prolonged periods of time, the razors oxidize. This causes corrosion and it can cause metal on the blade to flake off and cause the blades to become blunted and jagged.

Blot your razors dry with a towel after use.

You can double your shaves per blade just by using this one technique. This will keep your razor blades sharper longer.

You may also want to store your razors outside the bathroom to avoid contact with steam when you take hot showers.

Other tips to enhance your shaving include rinsing the blade often. Make sure you use warm water to soften up your whiskers. Let the shaving cream sit for a minute before you start to shave.

You can also dip the blades in alcohol before you blot them dry. The alcohol drives the water out and then quickly evaporates leaving you with a clean blade ready for the next shave.

So the next time you shave with your favorite Gillette or Schick razor, dry it off before you put it away.

Best Razors to Buy: Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Razors

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Sometimes more is not always better. That’s according to Real Simple magazine. They recently tested 40 men’s and women’s razors on the market and rated them on how well they shave and how smooth they leave your skin. The best all-around razor was the Gillette Mach 3 Turbo. Not the Gillette Fusion five blade razor. This is good news if you’ve been hesitating on upgrading to the Fusion razors.

Since the Gillette Mach 3 Turbo razors are a “older” model you can get better deals on the refill cartridges. While the Fusion blades still run closer to $2 per blade online, the Mach 3 blades can be had for $1 for each one or less depending on how many you buy. You can check out the deals below:
