The Great Razor Blade Rip-Off

Send us Fan Mail

We bounce from ridiculous sports stats to the very real pain of buying overpriced razor refills, then land on a surprisingly useful set of shaving hacks we swear we will actually try. We debate blade counts, irritation, shower shaving, and all the myths people repeat, while trying to figure out why something as basic as shaving still feels like a scam. 
• Shaq “owns everything” and our talent for making up statistics 
• Free throws as a mental game and why underhand might work 
• Paper notes versus phone notes and the curse of never finishing the list 
• Razor refill sticker shock and incompatible cartridge systems 
• Honing blades on denim and why drying the razor matters 
• Shaving cream and product swaps that reduce razor burn 
• Beard trimming, clippers that last forever, and grooming logistics 
• Amazon subscriptions and the economics of supplies 
• Shaving myths around pressure, grain direction, and timing 
• Shower shaving, ingrown hairs, and basic skin prep 
• Why the military wants clean-shaven faces 
• Who taught us to shave and learning the hard way
