Whether you're shaving with a disposable or cartridge razors, which I have right here, or you're shaving with double-edged razors, I have it right here. There are three things the manufacturers may not want you to know and I'll go over them with you today. So the first thing they don't want you to know that if you're shaving with a disposable razor, whether this is like a five blade or seven blade or three four blades razor, it doesn't make a difference. It's the same thing. Due to the fact that anytime you're shaving with a multiple blade razors, you have this blade right here on the bottom and then there are other blades. So what happens when you're shaving? This blade is the one which is, you know, cut your most of the hair and then it just keeps doing it every time you shave. It's not like these are interchanging among each other. So you're just like, you know, cutting it with the first blade and then you're just like, you know, repeating with these blades. So what happens after your first shave or second shave? This is going to get less sharp and it's going to irritate your face because you're shaving your face with something which is not that sharp anymore. And that's how you, you know, irritate your face and you get lots of like razor burns and other stuff which is not very good for the face. And the other thing is that you are kind of plowing your face with five blades and let's say if you are doing a few passes, then on your face, that's like, you know, a blade going through could be like 30 times or 40 times, just like a single blade. So you can imagine that you're shaving your face with this blade 40 times, which is going to be equally shaving with this blade one time. So that's what the manufacturer, they do not want you to know. And another thing you may have noticed that, you know, when you're shaving, it's very difficult to clean and the things get stuck inside. So for example, you can see that I put this blade under like, you know, tap in heavy force and still there's like, you know, foam, beard and stuff inside. You cannot just take them out because that's the way the designing is. Things will get inside and it will like, you know, keep, stay there until like you change your blade. And then once you have a new blade, it's the same reputation again. So you will never be able to clean everything like a double-edged razor. So this is very unhealthy. And this is something, you know, the manufacturer, they don't want you to know. The second thing about cartridge or disposable razors, manufacturers do not want you to know that this is very bad for the environment. So what happens, if you take a look at your disposable razor, these are made of plastic and metal in combination. So you cannot separate them and you cannot recycle them. So what happens, they're going to landfill and they're contaminating the land, air and water and you know, this is not going to decompose because of the plastic material in it and same thing about the cartridge razor. So these things are very hard to get rid of and it's very bad for the environment and it's also very bad for the planet. So what happens, if you just think of your lifetime accumulation of the disposable razors, this is going to be a lot that, you know, you're putting it into the landfill, which there's no way to get rid of because of the plastic element in it and there's a lot of like, you know, toxic materials which are going to be leaching into a land, air and water. So that's something to consider. Now, when it comes to double-edged razor, you just need a basic handle which can be like, you know, you can grab it anywhere on earth and then you have to just like, you know, keep buying the blades and the double-edged razors, they're made of mainly metal, mainly stainless steel and these are recyclable depending on where you live, whether your municipality has the facility or not. So you have to, you know, you can check that with your municipality, but not maybe not all of them have it, but some, you know, big cities or some even smaller cities may have the facility to recycle this because these are mainly metal and even if you are not able to recycle it, what happens if you just like, you know, let them rust and, you know, put them in the ground, they will just like, you know, decompose and they will not contaminate land, air and water by releasing any toxic chemical because these are mainly made of metal. So even without, you know, getting recycled, they're much lower quantity and less irritating to the planet. So for that reason, you know, for your lifetime, if you're using double-edged blades, you know, you're saving the planet a lot, you're doing the earth a big favor. So that's another thing to consider. Now the third thing, the manufacturers do not want you to know about the cost. So when you're buying this, you may not even think of the cost, you know, you're accumulating over your lifetime. So this can be purchased, let's say, like, you know, $10 a box or sometimes like, you know, $20 depending on what and where you buy from and these are very cheap. So you can just buy a basic handle from $10 to $20 and then for 100 blades, you can pay about $10 to $20 depending on where you buy from. So if you buy 100 of these blades, that should last you about a year, possibly more. I'm just, you know, keeping things simple. So your cost for one year, let's say $10 to $20, but if you are buying this, let's say, one box every year, then your cost is going to be depending on what you buy and where you buy from, $250 to $500 per year. So if you compare between them, the difference is a staggering amount because, you know, $250 to $500 and $10 to $20. So this is something the manufacturers do not want you to know. And you're going to see glorious, you know, ads and colorful ads about disposable and cartridge razors. But most likely you never seen any ads or anything about this because, you know, manufacturers want to keep buying this type of razors because it's much more profitable for the manufacturers. And for that reason, you know, they don't they want you to, you know, pay every year $250 to $500 instead of $10 to $20. But if you want to, like, you know, save some money and do a good to your wallet and financial future, then definitely the disposable razors are where to go. So these are the main three things they don't want you to know. There are more things about disposable razors and double-inch razors. But for today, you know, I just talked about these three. And after watching this video, you may want to consider which one you want to go with these are these. So thank you for watching this video. There will be more videos coming up. So I'll see you shortly. Thank you.
