How to Change a Razor Blade
Store your extra blades out of the shower. The steam and humidity will rust them faster than a car in a salt storm. Keep them in a dry, cool place, like that drawer you never open full of expired allergy meds.
Don’t toss the old blade into the trash raw. Wrap it in a bit of toilet paper or tape the edge. Because the next person to rummage through the bin (probably you, looking for a lost earring) doesn’t need a surprise finger slice. It’s a tiny courtesy that saves a tiny annoyance.
And here’s the secret: change your blade more often than you think. Every 5-7 shaves, not whenever you feel like you’re fighting a rusty machete. Your skin will thank you with fewer ingrown hairs and zero patches of razor burn that look like a bad sunburn.
So next time you’re in the shower and that tugging feeling starts, remember: you’ve got this. It’s just a snap, a click, and a rinse. No butter knives required. Now go forth and shave like a person who lives in the 21st century.
