"There are products I don&amp;#x27;t mind investing in: moisturizer, conditioner, concealer. But I get slightly bejiggity every time I have to buy replacement razor blades. They cost approximately seven thousand dollars for three blades, no matter what razor I&amp;#x27;m using at the moment. Here in New York, the drugstores stash replacement blades behind the register to prevent them being stolen--that&amp;#x27;s how valuable these slivers of metal apparently are. (It&amp;#x27;s a lot of fun having to relay which blades you want to a disgruntled teenage-boy cashier: &amp;quot;No, I wanted the Schick Quattro eight-pack, not the Schick Silk Effects. No, not the Intuition...&amp;quot;)Anyway, I started wondering if I should rebel against the fancy-razor system and go disposable. I haven&amp;#x27;t used them in forever but figured there must be some advanced ones out there nowadays. Sure enough, when browsing the razor section at Rite Aid, I spotted cute new Venus and Quattro disposables. A peek into my medicine cabinet--I happily splurge on skin products but get pissed shelling out for the razors. I bought the pink disposable Quattros shown here, for the sake of comparing them to the non-disposable version I&amp;#x27;d been using. But here&amp;#x27;s the crazy part: They cost MORE than the regular Quattro does per blade: $2.67 per disposable versus $2.50 per blade! And I have to say, they didn&amp;#x27;t work as well. They feel too lightweight in my hand and seem to dull in just a couple days. But I didn&amp;#x27;t get any blood-gushing cuts (which, if memory serves, was the most serious drawback of disposables last time I used them regularly, which would be back in junior high). Guess I&amp;#x27;ll continue to shell out for replacement blades. Which razor do you guys think is the best one out there? Does anyone use the super-cheapie disposables (like the Daisy), and if so, are there any major drawbacks?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
