Howdy, guys. I was at Rite Aid today, and decided to do some price comparisons. I wanted to see how Schick Extreme 3 blades compared in price to the Mach 3 replacement blades. You would think that replacement blades, which are actually better for the environment, would cost less than the same number of disposable blades. Well, I was in for a shock! An 8 pack of Schick Extreme 3 disposable razors were $12 and change. The same number of replacement blades for the Mach 3, were $21 and change. Talk about a huge price difference! Well, I'm all for doing what we can for the environment, but I couldn't justify paying that much more money for replacement blades. I got the 8 pack of Schick Extreme 3 disposables.
That is a surprise! It definitely pays to check prices.
I was shocked when I did the price comparison! If the difference was only a matter of a few bucks, then I probably would go with the replaceable blades. But with that much of a price spread, I honestly couldn't go any other way but disposable.
