How to Make Disposable Razors Last Longer

The following Everyday Savings Tip comes from, Stephanie:

Most disposable razors are about $5 or more for a pack of 4, and you only get 2 or 3 uses out of each individual razor before it goes bad and rusty. I have a way to make the razor last longer.

After I finish shaving, I rinsed the blade with water then sprinkle some baby oil over it, and its good as new the next time I use it. The baby oil keeps the blade from becoming rusty, and the little bit of rust is what usually causes you razor to become dull and cut you.  I can use one razor for a whole month before I change it out, and thats just for sanitary reasons – it still works perfectly when I throw it out!

This could save you about $75 because if you buy one pack of 4 for $5 and it lasts you a week. You would spend $20 a month on razors alone! If make a pack of 4 last for months that's saving you $75!!

  1. Wow… a 4 pack only lasts a week??? A 4 pack usually lasts me about 6 months!

  2. Ditto the PP. I usually only change blades every season. And I’ve never had a problem with my blades rusting and I usually just keep them in the shower all the time.

  3. Well no matter what anyone says… The advice is well taken and always welcome whether your razor lasts you a long time or not. Thank You for sharing you ideas and tips; always helpful!!

  4. If you really want to save money, stop buying disposable razors which are thrown out and so is the money you spent to buy them. Why not buy a reusable razor that will last for years and just replace the blades as needed?

    Reusable razors are also much better for the environment.
