I'm not sure how much money they would save compared to a safety razor, which is what I currently want to get. I find that razors with more blades tend to get gummed up quickly and irritate my skin, so I'm using some single-bladed disposables. Safety razors are hard to find if you aren't buying off of the internet, since most places don't carry them anymore. They will still carry double edged razor blades, but not the handle.

It would definitely take a few years longer, but over the course of 50 years when you've never had to replace blades on your straight razor (assuming proper care of course) it would add up quite a bit. Keep in mind this is lifetime savings I'm talking about. Also they're classy as fuck.

Jimmy, all I was going on was the fact it was a Wahl, who make hairdresser-grade stuff, and that on the pack it said it was a hairdresser thing. It was definitely about $20 including a pack of 5 double-edge blades.
I definitely want one of those high-end fixed straight razors, I just don't want to pay the money for one or know that someone else did. As you say, they are classy as fuck, and it would feel great to be shaving with a premium quality setup & know that if you looked after it well then it would last nigh on forever, but I don't shave every day, and at the moment I really only shave my neck with the blade & buzz my face with my trimmer to leave stubble, 'cos I don't like the feel of my face clean-shaven.
Jimmy the Squid:
Also because you look cooler. Proper hairdressing is stupid expensive. I don't understand it really.
Drill King:
It's because you're using precision tools on a daily basis, it is stupid for the public to get hairdresser grade scissors for example because you won't cut your hair every day. But when you're cutting multiple people's hair a day cheap ones get dull pretty fast. My mom used to have 300 dollar scissors and recently saved up to get 800 dollar ones because they make her job a lot easier.
