Razor blades (along with HDMI cables) are one of the greatest ripoffs of the day. I put off buying new blades every time my supply runs out, because it's just so offensive to pay $3 per blade for a product that likely costs about 4 cents to make. It's about time I got on this safety razor train.

I get my stuff from
http://www.fendrihan.com, just ordered a pack of 100 blades at a price of about 20¢ each. At about a blade a week it should last me about two years at a total cost of $20.
Beats the hell outta paying $20 for 8 mach 3 cartridges.
The only real "downside" to the traditional blades is you need to take a bit of extra care in deposing of them. Namely pitching them in the garbage can is a risk to whomever empties the garbage can or if you have kids/pets that may get into the trash.
So you need a blade bank of sorts, I use an old Altoids tin which I keep in a drawer in the bathroom. Once it's full (which will be years from now) I'll just tape it shut with packing tape and pitch that.
