I’ll make this sort and to the point. I’ve always used the latest and greatest razor available. The issue being how expensive these razors and refill cartridges cost.

While listening to Clark Howard a number of years ago. A listener of his show called in and had a genius way of getting up to a year of use our of a single razor. Even Clark himself was skeptical until he tried it.

I’ve been using this “hack” for 6 or 7 years and it has no doubt saved me hundreds of dollars. I would go through one razor roughly every two weeks. Over time this adds up!

It’s simple…right when your done shaving completely dry the blades. Then store your razor in a dry room where it doesn't get steamy.

I use a hairdryer to dry my razor blades. I make sure it is completely dry then store it in my bathroom vanity drawer in a bathroom that does not have a tub or shower.

By doing this I can get a year out of my razors!!! Saving me lots of $$.
