Grandy seems an easy choice.

Very human

4 years all city miles huh? ;)

Thank. Doot doot.

You're welcome!

Blegh, but then it tastes like makers.

How about four roses small batch instead and we forget the sweet.

Yeah the economics of clippers and batteries vs chargers seems like a project. I have had some really bad luck with cheap clippers getting blades out of alignment and then biting me, so I've switched completely to disposable blades. They last a long time, but there is a learning curve to effective use, mostly angle and lather.

Depends how you define cheap.

If you want the cheapest expense to shave today, it is going to the nearest drugstore or grocery store and buying a bag of 2 blade plastic razors.

If you want proper shave (which you said you don't really care) then you buy a decent safety razor (or shavette)for a little bit of money (probably $50 - $200) and buy blades for like 25 cents each for the rest of your life whenever they get dull.

Probably the cheapest $/shave option is to go buy a $50 set of grooming clippers that are self sharpening and rechargeable, take care of them, and use them basically forever. But it is only cheaper if no replacement necessary over time.

The cheapest guaranteed long term option is option 2 above :).

IF YOU ARE VERY HANDY WITH BLADES and you already own some sharpening stones with grits running up to about 12k and don't have sensitive skin and you already own or can get a strop, you could probably have cheaper overall cost with a traditional straight razor lol.

Edit:

If you are super cheap and time rich, join a church that has small group meetings at other people's houses (or some other social group that meets at the members' houses but doesn't require you to buy anything), excuse yourself to shit, grab their razor from the shower and go to town. You will need to buy a scarf and make it your signature item. Wear it at all times so no one can tell thet you came with stubble and left clean shaven.

I switched to a shavette and I find it to be the best of all the worlds. No stropping, close shave, cheap upkeep.

Since I keep a beard I also dry shave the line ups, so no soap or brush or bowl clean up either.

Uh, that is pronounced "lead". You're welcome.

But the pronunciations are different word by word. French letter combos make the same sound even if they are not each pronounced the American away, which is nice as a French novice.

I choose to believe it's this one.

What is it supposed to say?

Yeah I guess if you own it you can get freaky with the temp. I also do not own one :)

Hot tubs only use water at about 104F.

"Everyone knows this temperature dries you out! If I've told you once, I've told you 1000 times!" - Water 1 degree Celsius hotter than your preferred/best temp to your skin

I have it on good authority that everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you.

Then dont shop there if you don't like the practices of a store? Bob at the door is not trying to dick you around, he's just doing his job.

You have no obligation to follow store rules, most rules of etiquette, people's house rules, etc. but it sure makes you look like an entitled Karen if you go into a situation expecting to do it.
