A huge mistake - don't make it.
Sometimes I use a razor and when I'm travelling on the road (tour bus driver) I always use a razor.
Well, while I was browsing a local dollar store for cheap sponges and towels for detailing I spotted a pack of razors, bic style, for a buck.
I bought a pack thinking I had scored the deal of the century. Each razor had twin blades and I was beside myself with excitement waiting until the next morning when I was going to try one.
The morning arose and I headed into the bathroom with my new razor. I got the water nice and hot and bathed my face with the hot water and lathered up with the gel shaving cream stuff. I lead a simple life so a new blade is a hugely exciting event.
I got the new razor and gave it a try and almost died. I couldn't believe the pain. the pain was so great my brain went fuzzy and I couldn't think clearly neither could I see clearly. Steam plus tears rendered me blind but my brain gradually registered the fact that the pain went away when I stopped shaving for a bit.
I slowly determined what was happening - the first blade was pulling out the whisker a little bit. The second blade was then pulling it out all the way.
All ten razor blades were like that.
I wouldn't wish those blades on my worst enemy.
Maybe Jack Bauer could torture enemies of the state with those blades. He would just have to toss them one and force them to shave. He'd get info out of the bad guys asap and then the show would have to change it's name from 24 to 1.
Moral of the story: Don't buy razors at the dollar store.
