    I have to disagree but only on the level of the non-disputable logic that a years worth of shaving with a sharp blade for less than or at least equal to $30 is possible without factoring in the membership fee ($100/year total including with membership fee lol) is at least as good value and =< greater efficacy

    There’s just no way thats cheaper than what I’m referring to but I’m open to being wrong

      Henson razor (really the handle) is 75 dollars up front, that’s on the expensive side. The thing lasts as long as you don’t lose it. Name brand blades are $15 for 100 blades on Amazon. A blade lasts anywhere from 2 days to a week of daily shaving.

      No membership fees, and the cost of the handle can be divided over several years.

      Edit to correct the pricing of the Henson from $60 to $75

        Might have to look into that👀 although i buy many other things that make me save my money with said membership besides just razors. Still may investigate :)

          Buying things to save money?

          There are probably alternatives to everything in that membership that fill the purpose of each item and outlast the subscription items, therefore ending up costing less in the long term.

          Edit: From other comments, I take it you’re talking about more than a shaving subscription membership. That’s different

          I’m not a great source because Henson is the first safety razor I’ve owned/used, so idk how other brands are.

          I can say it is overbuilt in a good way, because it has survived multiple falls in a tub and porcelain sink, has hung out in the shower getting wet and slowly drying repeatedly in a humid environment, and still functions perfectly. The blades rust, but the aluminum razor and whatever they made the central screw out of hasn’t rusted after more than a year.
