It’s true; after 6 months of using the same razor blade (by applying the ancient Immortal Razor Technique), it is time to lay the ol’ blade to rest.  Faithfully it has served me, but in the last week or so, I could feel some dullness.

By cleaning mess out of my razor and drying it every time I used it, I stretched its life to half a year, a lot longer than the average razor!

If you haven’t tried it, I heartily suggest you try cleaning out your razor blade and drying it (with a towel or what have you) after each time you use it.  Not only will you save money, but you’ll also be reusing some good ol’ resources by putting forth only the slightest of effort.  ‘Tis a win-win situation, ’tis.

P.S. It turns out my razor came with two blades, so I didn’t have to buy a new razor at all, just put in the new blade and bah-bam, new razor.
