The printer companies are getting the hang of Gillete's business model. Give away the razor, charge an arm and a leg for the blades. Well, except with printers and ink cartridges.

For the record, Gillette copied the printer companies. They've been doing that just as long if not longer.

Just get an electric shaver, the blades need to be replaced only once a year, and it makes a cool noise when your shavin. Plus no shavin cream is needed, alot easier. my mom bought me it, and it is so much cooler then the non powered ones.

How many shaves does a blade last? Roughly?

For me - oh, about 6 months :p I only shave once a week :D

Hmm... well, as of lately I've been making it two just under two months... that's shaving every other day and really needing it on that second day.

I still use the one I got for free and I'm 22... they really sucker ya don't they? Give you a free "stick" to put their blades on that should be made of titanium based on the price of them.
