How do you decide?

Well my whole purpose was to save money because I'm a tight ass.
If only I had kept well away from shaving forums, my plan might have worked.

I used Barbasol and cheap disposable twin blades in the shower and no aftershave so cost wasn’t a factor, but forum’s absolutely are expensive….

for the most part partly cause of limited storage space... the only things we tend to have a bunch of is sample shave soaps/creams with a couppla full sized soaps... so flavors & brands get 4-12 lathers before needing to be replaced... & DE blades were typically tuck box "samples" to try different ones... with our 2 DE razors... we load in a blade from the same tuck into both razors... & use 1 till the blade is done & swap the razors... 2 uses of a tuck with the last blade waiting to be used...
