Satisfaction comes from the most unexpected sources...

What follows is an excerpt from an email from a friend..  His thoughts, as we decide on a bulk double edge blade purchase...




"Ok .. so a preliminary recap of bulk order so far:
 
Definite:
 
50 Feather Black -- $22.95
50 Red Personna -- $16.50
50 Bluebirds -- $8.99
 
Subtotal:  $48.44
 
To be decided:
 
50 Shark Super Chrome -- $10.97 
 
Total: $59.41
 
200 blades
 
Price per blade:  .29
 
By way of comparison I did the math on the Gillette Fusion: 200 blades at $2.53 per blade (24 ct. for $61; Amazon) is $506.
 
There is something perversely gratifying about using the cheapest products to get a superior shave, plus I like sticking it to Gillette ... it's like giving the whole Shaving-Industrial Complex a huge middle finger."
