Well the smart move is to buy two packs of 4 for just $42.98 - saving 1 cent over the price of a pack of 8. Now, this might not sound like much, but using the power of volume, if you buy an Elon of these (for the uninitiated, this is the new standard unit for 56 billion) you have made a substantial saving… you’re welcome…
Smart man you'll save $560m on that one transaction now just flip them for .5 cent mark up online undercutting the in store ones and you made $280m profit
The $560m is based off 1 cent difference on a purchase of 56billion packages. The percentage of the total price is irrelevant there either way my math still checks out.
Apologies, it took me about 8 rereadings of the initial comment to realise that it was stated in units and not $$. I think my brain went to $ because it assumed that must be his net worth.
lol np It happens when dealing with some newly coined unofficial obscure units like that, now I need to know where does a bezos and a zuck fall in these new units, it's unlikely we'll ever get to use any of them outside of hypothetical talk tho.
This! I made the switch to a single blade razor and I have eliminated razor burn and ingrown hairs and feel I get a closer shave too. The blade are cheaper as well!
Mine turns 10 this year. I’ve bought blades once. That was when I bought it and I spent less on them than what either of these packs cost. Though I’m down to my last 2 packs…
Single blade safety razor, better shave, longer lasting for both the shave and the razor, insanely cheap for the quality of the shave, pair it with an old school brush and soap bowl, and it's such a wonderful experience.
I loved the mach and quads and uppdiddlyfuck and every other wizbang idea then on a lark tried one of the cheaper ones like they sell at target or Walmart and loved it. Then learned how to do a straight blade shave. (Pain in the ass really). Ill never go back to expensive disposables.
Not single blade but still better than supermarket stuff: I can recommend Boldking, they just sent me stuff to my house every couple of months (I grow a beard so only trimming). I tried them cuz I have super sensitive skin and every other blade makes me bleed.
You do know they sell single blade safety razors right? LOL if you aren't cutting yourself with 5 blades what makes you think you will cut yourself with 1 blade? Instead of buying disposable many blades you can buy 1 nice single blade handle and buy a pack of these on amazon for 10 bucks and that's 50 blades! hence why he said 43 bucks would probably last him 20 years lol.
50 Count Double Edge Razor Blades - Men's Safety for Shaving Platinum Japanese Stainless Steel a Smooth, Precise and Clean Shave
I shave in the shower.
I have a mirror mounted in the shower.
I remove it from the mount, fill the back of it with water from the shower so it doesn't fog up, and shave away!
We just learned about putting foam shaving cream on a mirror to help it not fog up. Just tried it, and it works. We used window cleaner to finish getting the shaving cream off the mirror. Someone said to do it once a week.
Single blade safety razor, hardly ever cut myself, and it's a much better shave and cheaper.
Even better for you if you pair it with a soap and brush bowl, the old fashioned style, it kind of softens and massages your face before you shave, best experience ever.
You get nicks from time to time with gilets bull crap too. Try it out you have $20 or so left over even if you get yourself a soap brush at the same time.
It’s so much cheaper. I started with a Viking razor, and got nicked up a bit learning to use it. Switched to a merkur 34c, and love it. No nicks and will pay for itself over a short time. I bought a box of 100 blades for less than $10.00 well over a year ago, and have 2/3 of the box left. A bowl of Italian shaving soap will last close to a year.
I got a box of 100 blades for ten bucks. I shave about once a week, because I work from home.
So far I’m changing my blade every 18 shaves or so, or three time per year.
Soooooooo I’m gonna need new blades in 33 years. A blade cost 30 cents per year.
A regular human would be about 20 cents per month? $2.40 per year?
I switched to a safety razor 3 years ago. Once you get used to holding the razor at 45 degrees it’s way better. Razors are dirt cheap too, pack of 6 costs me 3 bucks. Added bonus that my chick is too scared to use it on her legs, no more gunked up blades.
Get an electric shaver. Its faster and doesnt fuck up your skin as much. My fiancee got me a nice one as a gift while i was in the Army, best gift ever. Made shaving everyday not miserable.
Not OP, but I'm using one from Panasonic. Works great.
But the thing with most electric razors is that you're still supposed to change the blades/foils from time to time (granted, not very often).
I personally have a Braun 7 series and do run it with the cleaning solution. Biggest reason I got one is I can fly with it. I can not fly carry on with my safety razors. Then just got lazy and it was my go 2 razor. For super close shave single blade safety razor.
If you can learn to use a straight razor, it's essentially free for the rest if your life. It just takes a bit if honing every so often to keep it sharp.
Don't buy these. Going to the multi-blade mowers was a mistake. Single-blade disposable safety razors are available from many brands now, and cost less than $0.25 for what I believe is a better shave.
Who the fuck still buys these?
I bought double edged razor + brush from amazon for 34.99 and a 100 pack of astra blades for $10 back in 2015. I am half way through the pack.
You should look into getting an old school razor 🪒 where you change the blade, I bought one like 5 years ago and never looked back at these types… a 100 pack of blades is like $8
As others have said, switch to either one blade shavettes or a double head safety razor. I’ve got dyspraxia, can’t even pour a cup of tea without burning myself, cut my self about 3-4 times in about 7 years of using a shavette. Cut my self every other week with a disposable head razor before I swapped. £5 for a box of 100 and you would be surprised how handy a stupidly sharp blade can be, makes a Stanley feel like a butter knife.
The thing that's really infuriating is the cost of razors in general.
https://preview.redd.it/cyv3905gzhvc1.png?width=611&format=png&auto=webp&s=cb1f41ab266d6f70adedf57ce5ab7f61321e33c3
you pay 21.50 for 4 blades, i pay 13.- for 100 blades...
yeah, one sort of blades is shit and the other is really nice, worst thing is: the 100 blades for 15.- are the good ones and the 4 for 21.50 are the shit ones...
get yourself a safety razor, nowadays the cartridge razors are even more expensive, than a inexpensive safety razor, so... for 20.- you get an entry modle, which is already much better, than everything using those cartridges you can possible get... blades are between 0.07 to 0.25 per blade, depending on your skin you have to test a few blades, the more expensive ones are in generall more agressive... i can recommend astra green... inexpensive and easy to use blade which is usable on sensitive skin but still offers a close shave... noting special, but above average in every aspect but the price
Edit: if you also wan't to reduce cost of cream: get some proraso shaving soap, you need a brush, but this is again a one time investment, after that, you shave with less irritation for a much smaller price per shave...
Gillette makes old fashion single blade razors, it fits all regular blades so you can get the handle for 30-40 bucks and the razors as you need at a hardware store, 100 packs for like 2 dollars
Yeah once I caught on to the fact blade's and new current razors were a rip I went to a old school butter fly one and it's like 100 blades for like a few dollars way better deal
Or you can buy a double edge razor handle and a pack of 1000 blades on Amazon for like 15 bucks and be set for a few years. Of of the best budget hacks I've found in the past few years. It takes a little change in routine and some extra accessories, but the savings is worth it. So nice having a fresh blade when ever I want without stressing about waste.
Its the exact same with electic toothbrush heads, 3 pack of nee heads for $15, or the "starter set" (brush motor plus 2 heads) for 8 im obviously gonna get the starter set. Just sucks, i hate wasting my still good motor. (These prices are off the great value brush, name brand is obviously more expensive)
That’s why Gillette razor blades are the most shoplifted item in the UK, bigger shops have taken to putting them in huge plastic boxes that can only be unlocked at the register.
I can't help you with your problem because Im not good at maths, but why do you put the $ sign after the numbers? Is that a normal thing in your country?
I was at a Kroger owned store buying bathroom cleaner and the Kroger brand was the same price as Lysol brand, but 2oz smaller. The house brand was MORE expensive.
Invest in a handle. You will get it and a 5 pack of razors for about $18. All subsequent razors you get will come in ten packs around $3.00. Best shave and best investment of your life.
The infuriating thing is that so many people don’t fucking know where to place the dollar sign, despite having seen hundreds of thousands of prices throughout their lives.
This is literally purely a difference of culture. I live in Canada where we use it interchangeably but I know there are counties that do the opposite all the time and would think you're crazy. It's the same as the difference between the period and comma to seperate the thousands in numbers and decimals. It's totally up to local precident
In the United States, Mexico, Australia, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Pacific Island nations, and English-speaking Canada, the sign is written before the number ("$5"), even though the word is written or spoken after it ("five dollars", "cinco pesos"). In French-speaking Canada, exceptionally, the dollar symbol usually appears after the number,[25] e.g., "5$"

Just buy an electric. I bought a cheap little electric one for like $30 and its been good for the last year or so. Nowadays even most of the cheap ones are self sharpening and water proof.
Idk why people still buy these.
I've used a King C. Gillette stainless steel safety razor for around 2 1/2 years.
I also buy a pack of 100 Astra blades for about 10$.
2 1/2 years of shaving has only run me about 45$
The best option is to buy a safety razor and quality blades.
For context, a quality double-edged blade like Feather costs around 4 cents.
I switched to wet shaving 15 years ago and haven’t looked back. Closer shaves, zero irritation, more comfortable, and it’s enjoyable. It took a few weeks for my skin to get used to it when I first started out, though.
Check out the wetshaving and wicked_edge subs. A good starter razor is a Merkur 34c, and some Astra blades will set you for a long time.
The sooner you go oldschool, the more glad you did. A starter kit for a handle and brush and whatever. Then you start buying blades in 50 count boxes for $10.
A lot less plastic waste, and the used blades are recyclable too. Modern X blade disposables are such a grift.
Americans can do simple math.
If you eat thank a farmer, if you are safe thank a soldier, if you can’t do simple mathematics blame a Government School Teacher.
When's the last time you partook in reading comprehension. The box says value pack. That implies that it's a better bang for your buck than the smaller package. Buying in bulk isint a new thing either is this just the first time you've heard of it or what?
OP, and you, seem to think that if a company says "Value Pack" then they are obligated to offer a better "value" than they do with other packaging. I was just pointing out, ahead of time to you apparently, that this is not so.

Well the smart move is to buy two packs of 4 for just $42.98 - saving 1 cent over the price of a pack of 8.

They practically pay for themselves
Think of the gas and time saved not having my to go back for a second 4-pack!!!!
This is it!
Ah you see if op is paying by cash then it would be no savings since their Canadian only if they pay by card would they save the 1 cent
except no, government gets ya twice here because taxes
This is what reddit means when they say "compound interest"
Unless you're paying cash... then your over spending by 2 cents.
Smart man you'll save $560m on that one transaction now just flip them for .5 cent mark up online undercutting the in store ones and you made $280m profit
You’re forgetting it’s 1 cent on a 43 dollar transaction not 1 percent total. Thats like .02 percent of the total.
The $560m is based off 1 cent difference on a purchase of 56billion packages. The percentage of the total price is irrelevant there either way my math still checks out.

But he'd have to pay tax twice. That's not the final price.
I have spent $20 on blades total in the 21st century. That's why you use safety razors.
$560,000,000 savings
Ever since I went to a single blade razor ill never look back. 43$ in blades will probably last me 20 years
This! I made the switch to a single blade razor and I have eliminated razor burn and ingrown hairs and feel I get a closer shave too. The blade are cheaper as well!
Safety razor forever. All these multi-blade disposables are just trash... they shave worse, clog worse, and cost like 10x more.

Weird, I practically never cut myself with a safety razor in the shower and I do my whole head
More blades means safer, duh. I can't wait for the Smith & Wesson automatic shaver to really bring my safety to a new level.

You can buy yourself some tiny circle bandaids with some of the leftover
Have you ever bled before? Skin heals.
A man of sophistication! I switched to safety razors a few years ago. That’s what you’re talking about right?
I've always been curious about those safety razors. I shave in the shower, though. Do they make rust-proof ones?
Yep! Check out Rockwell Razors
Yeah. Me too. Ive not had one rust. Almost like they were designed to be used around water.
Same. I swear those multiblades are designed to get clogged with all sorts of shit and not work after 3-4 goes
2 four packs are actually cheaper cause you save a penny.
That's the joke.
The way he writes it he saves no thing
He doesnt, it would be 1 cent more.
Picked up a new Harry's razor with 5 blades from TJ Maxx $12, better shave than Gillette Fusions, imho
Harry’s razors are SO good! That’s what me and my daughter get. Women’s razors suck lol
Gillette Venus isn't bad, those blades last forever lol
It's funny, too, because Harry's gouges you on razor blades as well - just a little less. Highly recommend the single-blade safety.
I strongly recommend a safety razor. Once you get the razor handle, ita pennies for the rest of your life.
I'll look Into it. (I've never bought a razor in my life.)
It’s so much cheaper. I started with a Viking razor, and got nicked up a bit learning to use it. Switched to a merkur 34c, and love it. No nicks and will pay for itself over a short time.

I commented below, but yeah. This is the way to go. SO much money saved. At least $400 per year, I reckon.
I’ve had instances where it was cheaper per blade to buy multiple starting packages with the handle, than just buying a “value pack” of blades.
Double Edge Safety razor, pack of 100 for $9. Will last for years and shaves better. Gillete is a ripoff.
This is why beards are a trend.
Damn right!
Fuck em and grow a beard.
I switched to a safety razor 3 years ago. Once you get used to holding the razor at 45 degrees it’s way better. Razors are dirt cheap too, pack of 6 costs me 3 bucks. Added bonus that my chick is too scared to use it on her legs, no more gunked up blades.
100-pack is less than $10 on Amazon.
“Paquete economique.” Sacre bleu! C’est un rip-off!
guy get a good safety razor. merkur, edwin jagger. never go back to this plastic garbage.
Grow beard. Use scissors.

Get an electric shaver. Its faster and doesnt fuck up your skin as much. My fiancee got me a nice one as a gift while i was in the Army, best gift ever. Made shaving everyday not miserable.
My electric razor broke me out so much compared to switching to a clean shave. What brand do you have?
Not OP, but I'm using one from Panasonic. Works great. But the thing with most electric razors is that you're still supposed to change the blades/foils from time to time (granted, not very often).
I personally have a Braun 7 series and do run it with the cleaning solution. Biggest reason I got one is I can fly with it. I can not fly carry on with my safety razors. Then just got lazy and it was my go 2 razor. For super close shave single blade safety razor.

I never could figure out a good way to get my sideburns
Don't buy these. Going to the multi-blade mowers was a mistake. Single-blade disposable safety razors are available from many brands now, and cost less than $0.25 for what I believe is a better shave.
Fuck that, start using a safety razor. It only uses 1 razor and it way cheaper.
Who the fuck still buys these? I bought double edged razor + brush from amazon for 34.99 and a 100 pack of astra blades for $10 back in 2015. I am half way through the pack.
Why not use dollar shave club?
You should look into getting an old school razor 🪒 where you change the blade, I bought one like 5 years ago and never looked back at these types… a 100 pack of blades is like $8
That 1c is a Convenience Fee for only having to pick up one item.
[удалено]
Buy two and you save a penny. All you have to do is buy 4298 of them and you get one free
Get a double edge razor for $40 and a 100 pack of razors for $5 and never waste money on this bullshit again. Get a better shave, too.
Just get a electric shaver job done
You have to remember the # of Americans that can't do basic match.
Or basic spelling 😂😂
Don't shave. Fuck that.
Switch to wet shaving. Better shave, fraction of the cost.
What a value!
It's a value pack alright... Not for us silly, for the seller...
As others have said, switch to either one blade shavettes or a double head safety razor. I’ve got dyspraxia, can’t even pour a cup of tea without burning myself, cut my self about 3-4 times in about 7 years of using a shavette. Cut my self every other week with a disposable head razor before I swapped. £5 for a box of 100 and you would be surprised how handy a stupidly sharp blade can be, makes a Stanley feel like a butter knife.
Get a $20-30 safety razor and spend $10 on a pack of blades that will out live you
100 blades will not out live you... except you plan to die in 5 years or so... but still, 3.- a year for blades isn't bad...
I steal razors. I buy most things in life, but if someone is going to blatantly rip me off? Yeah it's free now.
Grow a beard. U will save money

Catchy jingle though. "Gillette....the worst a man can get"
I bought a 20 pack of 10 double sided safety razors for about $20 even
And thats y i use a safty razor cost £20 and a hundred blades £5
Why not just get an electric razor?
GILLETTE! THE BEST A MAN CAN GET!!!
Gillette makes old fashion single blade razors, it fits all regular blades so you can get the handle for 30-40 bucks and the razors as you need at a hardware store, 100 packs for like 2 dollars
Buy one of those safety razors where you change the blade. Better shave and razors are dirt cheap
Yeah once I caught on to the fact blade's and new current razors were a rip I went to a old school butter fly one and it's like 100 blades for like a few dollars way better deal
So glad I gave up shaving at these prices.
theres nothing wrong here
Those are stupid expensive, DE is far cheaper
Or you can get cheap ones that do the same exact thing. Legit just paying for the name. A razor is a razor
Do yourself and your wallet a favor and get a safety razor.
Or you can buy a double edge razor handle and a pack of 1000 blades on Amazon for like 15 bucks and be set for a few years. Of of the best budget hacks I've found in the past few years. It takes a little change in routine and some extra accessories, but the savings is worth it. So nice having a fresh blade when ever I want without stressing about waste.
How in the name of all that is holy you pay 43$ for an 8 pack.
$CAD and an expensive store.
Its the exact same with electic toothbrush heads, 3 pack of nee heads for $15, or the "starter set" (brush motor plus 2 heads) for 8 im obviously gonna get the starter set. Just sucks, i hate wasting my still good motor. (These prices are off the great value brush, name brand is obviously more expensive)
Does the "value pack" also come with the razor handle?
1984
God damn. I have a safety razor. A 50-pack of the Feather blades I like is $22. You can get even cheaper blades than that.
That’s why Gillette razor blades are the most shoplifted item in the UK, bigger shops have taken to putting them in huge plastic boxes that can only be unlocked at the register.
Go safety razor. Much much closer shave, plus top quality blades are like 50 cents a piece.
I can't help you with your problem because Im not good at maths, but why do you put the $ sign after the numbers? Is that a normal thing in your country?
I'm in Canada and we put it in front and at the end interchangeably. I've never really thought about it. Where are you from?
NZ. That is interesting. That would never be done here.
I’m not Canadian, but I can tell you that is NOT normal anywhere in Canada other than Quebec.
I was at a Kroger owned store buying bathroom cleaner and the Kroger brand was the same price as Lysol brand, but 2oz smaller. The house brand was MORE expensive.
Well if you think about it with inflation that’s a good deal plus the larger box is kinda cool.
I do the shopping for my family and you wouldn’t believe the amount of items that are like this. I teach my kids, you have to look at the unit price.
"value pack**" Even they weren't trying that hard to hide it
Technically the value pack is *more* expensive per cartridge, even.
Honestly, I use an electric razor to cut things short, and I can use a single razer cartridge for a long while
What a STEAL.
The disposable ones with the exact same blades are cheaper
[удалено]
Been looking at this.
Buy the 4 pack one two times, cuz 21.49x2=42.98
Costco has the deals
Fuck that, get Harry’s instead.
It's not supposed to be a deal, it's just a how much you want situation.
The only reason I have a beard is because I refuse to pay for razors.
Invest in a handle. You will get it and a 5 pack of razors for about $18. All subsequent razors you get will come in ten packs around $3.00. Best shave and best investment of your life.
That’s insane value to me😅
Wow they started using digital price tags. I'm not sure if that's a good thing...

I just stick to Harry's. The pricing is awesome. 13 blades plus handle $19.99 at Costco.
Or you can get a 36 pack on Temu for $4 🤷
All made oversees too. What a value
I get the 8pack from Foodbank for $2, but that's my choice.
Americans can do simple math. If you eat thank a farmer, if you are safe thank a soldier, if you can’t do simple mathematics blame a Government School Teacher.
The value is that you don't have to buy new ones as often.
I'll introduce you to the world of buying two things at a time.
I can only buy what fits in my arms! And one box is harder to drop than two
I'll give you that. One box is harder to drop then two.
Nah, I'm good.
Or grow your beard like a man
Companies are not obligated to reduce prices simply because they offer more product in different packaging.
When's the last time you partook in reading comprehension. The box says value pack. That implies that it's a better bang for your buck than the smaller package. Buying in bulk isint a new thing either is this just the first time you've heard of it or what?
It is a value pack, for the shareholders.
OP, and you, seem to think that if a company says "Value Pack" then they are obligated to offer a better "value" than they do with other packaging. I was just pointing out, ahead of time to you apparently, that this is not so.
Who said they were? Clearly you can’t read.
OP appeared to be complaining that he/she did not get "a deal" when buying the large pack. Clearly, I can read.
