This review is going to be about some Astra Platinum Blades that I bought off of Amazon this past August. I know that it’s been quite a while between me purchasing them and using them, but I think you will see that it actually adds to the review. I bought the Astra Platinum Blades at [...]
If you shave your head, you probably go through razors more quickly than men who just shave their face since you are shaving a greater surface area with them. Unfortunately since you shave more, you spend more on razor cartridges. One way you can save money on razor blades while still getting a good shave [...]
If you’re like most men, when you go shopping for razor blades you probably feel like the major razor manufacturer’s have you at gun point while they pillage your wallet taking all your hard earned cash from you.

If you are looking to buy a Dovo Mammut there are a few places to still buy them from. So if you’ve already checked a few websites and they said they were sold out, don’t worry I’ve got you covered. :) No matter where you buy it from it’s going to run you about $600 [...]
