I wonder how much what are now vintage Gillettes would have cost relatively when they were what the majority used ... Also the relative cost of blades, etc.? I would not be surprised if at the time blades were quite costly as carts are now. Of course I may be completely wrong, but my initial googling hasn't revealed much.
I think a lot of it is down to not having been tutored in shaving right from the beginning, so when we start we chop ourselves up with the basic carts and goo. If we had the right technique to begin with we wouldn't have got into this whole business of spending large sums of moolah.
I think you have a very good point there as I remember my late father in law telling me that he used to buy one blade at a time and use it until it was almost ripping your face off.
