although 20 bucks a month doesnt seem like a lot. im starting to not be able to afford razor blades right now since im a broke jobless college student lol. i was wondering if its possible to "wax" your head. kinda like what ladies do with leg hair etc. i just feel like itll save me some money on blades cuz i wont have to shave everyday. i think that would be cheaper in the long run. i dunno if its even possible though. if it was wouldnt everyone be waxing instead of shaving? lol. i just figured ide ask.

Yeah, I don't think waxing will work well and you'll probably irritate the crap out of your head. I have no experience on waxing and don't know anyone who has tried it but maybe there is someone here that knows a little more about it. I guess buying blades is just one of those things you gotta do if you want to be sly and I believe a good quality blade is essential unless you want to try to go to an electric razor.

Just some words of advice: If you will dry your blades off and then spray them with rubbing alcohol, you will greatly extend their life. I currently get 2 weeks out a my Fusion blades. Some guys get more.

Get a double edge razor like an old Gillette Super Speed for about $20 or less shipped and you can buy blades for about $.10-$.50 each.
Here's my little collection:

Hey Ghost,
Yes, there are guys who go to the extreme of ripping their scalp hair out using wax (several YouTube vids document this); it looks really painful, and of course it's not permanent, so you have to do it time and time again.
Other guys use an epilator (another method that women use for their legs, etc) which is a device that looks like an electric razor, but it has no blades; it does have a series of revolving "teeth" that grab the hair and rip it out en mass. Again, not without pain, and needs to be repeated to stay bald, but many guys swear by it:

If I were you, I'd stick with shaving. The blades won't get any cheaper, but there are ways to extend your blade life significantly, as SlyinKC has already pointed out above.
Stay slick!

Sorry, just my opinion, but that site is wack. Why the hell does someone want to shave to look like they have MPB? I can understand wanting to shave completely but why just down to MPB? Someone needs to go see a shrink.

Ghost, I don't spend 20 a month.
A 4 pack of blades last me at least 2 1/2 months and they are about 8 bucks.
Thats Sensor 3 on my headblade....

a 4 pack of blades lasts me about 20 days. i shave every other day and i get about 3 shaves out of the blade until it starts cutting me. so 5X4=20 lol. its too expensive in my opinion.
