Razorblade update

The store did not have my style of razorblade. Have to decide between dull razor shaving for the rest of the summer, taking my chances with the rust, or getting some sort of new razor. The incredibly cute salesgirl almost sold me on a new 6 blade razor, but that's just because she was incredibly cute.

Thoughts?

P.S. to Lesley. Beards are not an option in 90° heat.

Rusty razors don't sound very fun, but tetanus (which you mentioned in the other post comments) doesn't grow on rust and that is unlikely to be a concern. If you're still concerned, you could get some strong alcohol (or boil water) and disinfect the rusty blades.

Or you could just use this as an excuse to go back and see the incredibly cute salesgirl again.

I suggest laser hair removal. A couple thousand dollars and 2-3 years, and you'll never have to worry about rusty razorblades again.

Oh, except that it might not work that well for you, because your hair's kind of light. Sorry. :)

Just get a new razor. I haven't found much of a shaving quality difference once you get past 3 blades (even a good 2 blade leaves you really clean cut).

Other ghetto option- get once of those sharpening wheels where you put the knife between the two stones and roll it- you can sharpen your remaining good blade that way.

Option three is try a store that isn't as high-class as Carrefour.
