Old Fangled

Safety razor blades cost R20 for a pack of 5. Gillette Mach 3 cartridges require a personal loan and are kept under lock and key at the pharmacy.

Old fangled is good.

At least you have the Nivea in the background to keep you cool?

But I agree, the cost of these Mach-whatever cartridges is ... I'm lost for words.

And thanks for reminding me that these blades are still available

I was browsing around in Dischem one day and saw the price, thought to myself, how can that be? One thing led to another and the next thing I knew I had ordered a shaver from TaL. It was a bit of a painful learning curve (it's very different to using those Gillette cartridges) but once you have the technique right it's so much more satisfying than the modern shave.

On my way to order a safety razor today.
