Do razor blades have to be expensive?

Why razor blades are so expensive in stores and what alternatives exist

Everyone knows the situation: You go to the drugstore, needing shower gel, chewing gum, and razor blades. While the first two items immediately end up in your basket, razor blades are usually locked away. The reason is simple: razor blades are expensive and frequently stolen.

Retailers sometimes charge almost €4 per blade. A pack of four quickly costs more than €15 – and your wallet will feel noticeably lighter. Of course, the blades last a long time and the quality is high. But: Does a bit of steel with a bit of plastic really have to cost so much?

Why are razor blades so expensive?

The high prices are due to several factors:

• Extensive product development

• Costly marketing with large advertising campaigns

• Middlemen who charge markups

All of this drives up the final price – which is ultimately paid by the customers.

Good razor blades don't have to cost €4.

There is another way: Direct sales eliminate intermediaries and significantly lower prices. This allows high-quality razor blades to be offered from as little as €1.50 each – without compromising on quality or comfort.

Even better: You can save yourself a trip to the drugstore and have your men's wet razor blades conveniently delivered to your home.

Conclusion: Save money smartly & stay well-groomed

Good razor blades, a solid razor handle, gentle shaving cream, and complementary grooming products from a men's grooming starter kit don't have to be expensive. By cutting out middlemen and expensive advertising, you save money – and still enjoy top quality.
