Replacement razor blades are notoriously expensive.  When we first married, we found ourselves in a Kmart store picking up some necessities.  We happened upon a clearance rack of my blades marked down from $14/pack of 4 to $4/pack.  We were on a strict budget at the time but we bought several packages.

I tend to use a razor blade for months.  I think I last changed my blade 5-6 months ago, but it’s finally on its last legs and my face is showing the bloody consequences.  4 years later I am down to my last package of clearance blades, and wondering what I’ll do when these run out.

I have heard of this website – the Dollar Shave Club that might work. I’ve also wondered if those infomercial blade sharpeners would be any good.  Costco has a little bit better price on the regular blades.  So there are several options – what do you do to save money on razor blades? Go with an electric shaver?

We had a wonderful time with my crazy family for Thanksgiving, and my friend’s wedding was great as well.  We successfully survived all the bad weather.  I’m now in California and Emily is almost home with her mom and the car.  They’ve had a lot of fun driving across the country and spending quality mom and daughter time together.  I’m really looking forward to being home this week and relaxing a bit.  3 weeks of travel wears you out!  Sorry for the lack of posting – we kept up with this during the first two weeks of travel but the third week got us.

Emily’s 30th birthday is this week!  Wish her a happy birthday!
