I know!! It's nuts.
And I feel like after the first shave they are never quite the same.
Makes me want to consider waxing again!!!

it's about time someone said it! they are REDICULOUSLY over-priced!!!!!!!! Chat Icon I usually get them with a $5 off coupon at B,B&B. the one by us has a Harmon drug store inside.

I didn't even think about it today at KMart... I needed them so I grabbed them. I just checked them out sitting on the counter and looked at the price tag!! HOLY C R A P!!! Chat Icon

It's not like they're titanium, or gold, or platinum or made with diamonds!! They run they're course after about 2 times using them!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

We get ours from Ebay, there a dollar a piece we get around 48 blades. Saves us more money that way.

Re: Why do razor blades cost so much???

I get them for free or about $1.00 all the time either expensive or cheaper brands. I buy them when they are onsale plus I use coupons. Gotta love coupons. This week Shoprite has a sale on Bic Comfort shave (5 razors) for $1.49 and in the sunday paper there is a coupon for $2.00 off. Plus. every wednesday, there is a free paper that has coupon inserts (same coupons that we get from the sunday paper) that I get from the library or at Barnes & Noble. I will usually get a bunch if there are coupons that I want to stock up on.

It's ridiculous. We usually get ours from BJ's. But they are definately incredably overpriced

You just reminded me of how mad I get when I have to buy a new razor.
They make them so expensive here because it's something that us as American women are conditioned to do. So they know they got us!Chat Icon

Men's razors cost the same. I don't think it's a conspiracy against women. Chat Icon

ETA - and if you find men's razors are cheaper, just use those.

Until they made the Mach 4 for women, I was using the men's version! My FH and I share razor blades - we both have the Mach 4 (he has the men's and I have the women's, but the razor blades fit both)
