How to save money (with minimal effort)

Would you believe me if I told you that I spent a grand total of $26.10 on razors last year?  Or that that amount was for BOTH of us? My friend Kris told me how to buy razors for cheap last year at a Halloween party, and even though I was skeptical, I tried it out.  The secret is a web site called Dorco.  They make the generic versions of all of your favorite blades.  And after a year of using them, I can tell you that they work very, very, very well. Let's compare, shall we?  An 8 count of Gillette Fushion Proglide cartridges is $32.99 on Amazon , which is $4.12 per cartridge. With Dorco, you're buying in bulk, so it's a 24 pack (or rather, six 4-packs) of their Pace six blade/1 trimmer cartridges for... $29.32 .  Yep, you read that right.  That works out to $1.22 per cartridge. To answer your burning questions: 1) Y es, you do have to buy a handle ($6ish for the most expensive one), and no, the Dorco blades will not fit on your current razor handle .
