    Question Stupid ebay item



    Doesnt this defeat the actual purpose behind using a stright razor?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIX-6-NEW-SHAR...QQcmdZViewItem

    I mean seriously.... you may as well buy a Crap3 or one of those rubbishy yellow disposables. The very idea is ridiculous. Go into straight razor shaving to save money and... start using disposables....

    And its not as if its simply a repleable blade. If that were the case why are there six?

    So dumb.

    I suspect they were designed for hospital use as disposable=sanitary to their way of thinking!

    Yes but if you need disposable for hospital use then cheap is also a factor and therefore a regular disposable is better

    Maybe for barbers. Depending on the state, barbers may not be allowed to use the same blade on more than one person

    Thats the case here. But my point stands- why 6 disposables and not 1 single feather with a replacable blade?

    Edit: Unless you have 6 barbers

    I may be wrong but I believe that many hospitals use a straight razor style blade and not a bic style disposable due to the blade clogging problems with the bic style!

    Are you kidding? When you go into a hospital and they use one of those on you they'll bill you enough that you could buy a Livi with solid gold scales.
