Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

Have you seen how much a razor costs nowadays?

This is the real reason. And I also just prefer to sleep an extra ten minutes every day.

This is the reason I stopped shaving. Cost. I have an electric shaver, but I can't be bothered with a half-ass shave. Also, shaving too often gives me razor bumps.

And, without a beard, I probably look like I should be in high school.

Cartridges are expensive. We've been trained by Gillette to think cartridges are the only way, but there are much cheaper options.

One of these and a blade sampler pack will get you started (for anyone interested).
