Amicus Dei

I’m still on this sustainable life kick, and it’s actually becoming fun. Yesterday I received my new razor – a Merkur double-edge razor like my Dad used when I was growing up. Of course, you have to order these online now, as nobody carries them, but it’s a gem. I got really tired of paying almost $12 for a 4-pack of Mach 3 Turbos, which last a week each. That’s almost $156/year just for razor blades. My new Merkur “1904″ cost $26, plus 10-blades at $6.50, total $32.50 plus shipping. I’ll need to buy 4 more packs of blades in a year, for $26. So, for $58.50, I’m good to go. Savings: $97.50 for the first year, and almost $124 each year after that. Plus, the shave is much, much better. You just have to be a little more careful. Let’s see what’s next…. – Amicus Dei
