Here’s a couple examples from my life:

  1. Safety Razor. I get a better shave and it’s like $15 for 100 razor blades, which lasts me a couple years. Way way way better than the disposable multi-blade Gillette things, which sell 5 heads for $20.

  2. Handkerchiefs. I am prone to allergies, so instead of constantly buying disposable tissues, we now have a stack of handkerchiefs that can just be used a few times and then thrown in the wash. This has also saved me loads.

What about you?

    When I get up in the mornings, I just don’t want to do all the wet shave stuff. I use an electric razer. I have one at work (I work a 48 hour shift) that’s 15 years old I paid $175 for that still works great (replaced the battery in it once. A $6 18650 battery) and one I’ve had 3 years now I paid $100 for. In the grand scheme of things a few hundred bucks for 15 years of shaving and still going is really a drop in the bucket.
