[04:30]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3]: I went to safety razor blades over two years ago.
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	They're roughly 8 cents a blade in bulk. They last about 5 shaves for me. But my hair is very hard on blades. I go through a $3.50 Mach 3 head in about 6-7 shaves.

[04:32]	IsambardPrince	The Mach 3 is harder to nick yourself with so you can shave faster with it, but that's the main advantage.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	Back when I started using them, they used higher quality steel. 
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	I put a head on the razor and it lasted about a month.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	So the quality has definitely gone down, but not the price.
