I get a better shave out of my single-blade safety razor, shave stick, and
brush system than I ever got out of my five-blade shaving-cream-from-space
setup. The reason these multi-blade things are so popular is because Gillette
can sell replacement blades for damn near a fortune and people keep on buying
them.

On the flip side, razors for a classic blade can be had for about ten cents a
piece.
