Men, why are you spending more than$1.60 per year to shave? . . . Razor blade companies have been shaving YOU for the last 50 years, it's time you stop paying them.

Once upon a time a young man looked in the mirror and saw whiskers! Wow! he thought, reached into the medicine cabinet and grabbed off the shelf Dad's pack of $9.95 blades. . . . Then he took Dad's shinny Gillette razor special,slipped a blade inside and yelled, Ouch! - As blood trickled down his fingers.

Sound familiar? Those expensive bloody, double edge razor blades, would
end up in the waste basket after being used three or four times, and the family would be a little poorer.

And then one day the young man, now an old man, stood in the shower and realized he was getting old and lazy and decided to shave while showering. . . . He stood there with hot water spraying down his face and rubbing soap onto his beard, and shaved. . . . Hmm, he thought, and shaved the next day with the same razor, and the next day, and next day until three months had past!

Now the old man doesn't have a heavy beard or a light beard, but rather an average beard. So far the old man's investment has been .40! And
.40, every three months, times 4 equals $1.60 per year.

A pittance you might say, well, little pittances add up to big greens over time. You get the point.
