Shopping for new blades for my old razor I realized that the gel used on the blades could not be vegan. I didn’t want to check online if they were vegan and as I realized that the blades for my old razor cost about the same as a saftey razor + 5 blades, I bought the safety razor.

Like it so far, was a little concerened to cut myself but slow and steady wins the raze (haha, get it…?) It leaves a tiny, tiny stubble, but maybe that is just me getting used to the new razor. What I like is that it is much easier to clean, since you can remove the blade and rinse it off or even disinfect it. Should I disinfect my blade? Dullsters on the internet, what is your wisdom?

    My uncle’s house had one of these.

    I’m like how do you clean the blades out?

    And he said you don’t, they just pile up in the wall.

    Just seems like an unsanitary way to dump old blades to fester, LOL

        So in my uncles case the house was already 100 years old. Imagine the dead skin cells being dumped into the wall with the razor, possible still wet. So you have a wall growing bacteria and mold off of skin residue and dampness. Just nasty disposal method.

        Put them in an altoids tin, when its full bring it to the metal recycle place for melting.
