The razor blades are intentionally hidden from view in the packaging.
This is the back of the package. https://i.imgur.com/UMK0a4g.jpeg

It's expensive up front, but I switched to a leaf razor years ago i just had buy a new pack of 100 razors for 19 bucks. I use 3 at a time, but they last a long time.
They last a long time, are cheaper, I get a better shave (especially since moving to a puck and horsehair brush), and I don't generate nearly any plastic trash.
I can't recommend moving over enough.
I agree. Some people even get so caught up in Wetshaving that they run a Lemmy instance dedicated to it.
I just dry shave with a saftey razor and it's still a closer and more comfortable shave than all this hyper-marketed plastic garbage with multiple shit quality blades. The razor was already perfected long ago, but quarterly growth demands landfills filled with trash.
PS: there's no reason for a saftey razor to be an expensive upfront cost unless you're buying a huge bulk of blades upfront. Any cheap stainless steel handle will do, for practically the same cost as you'll end up spending after the first time replacing this price-gouged plastic. A stainless steel saftey razor is priced at $10-$20 and will outlive you.
PPS: it drives me up the WALL every time I see a Gillette "Labs" (🙄🙄🙄) commercial, as if there's supposed to be some team of scientists and engineers in a laboratory experimenting with new ways to shape a piece of plastic. Who are they fooling??? They're just a marketing company with a razor department.
PPPS: all the "wet shaving" creams and lotions and balms and oils and lathering brushes and special towels and aftershave and who knows what are ALSO just marketing insanity. If you have an issue with razor burn, just apply a small amount of 100% aloe vera, which is soothing and naturally antibacterial (razor burn is just your immune system going to town on all the bacteria introduced to your skin by your likely dirty razor), after shaving. You can use a patch of denim from an old pair of jeans to sharpen a saftey razor if it feels rough on your skin.
I bought a Rockwell safety razor for 50 euros after using a cheap 20 euro version for a while. The Rockwell is much better. Heavier, better grip and a reversible base plate for different settings. 50 euros should do and still is much cheaper than my cartridges.
PS: wit good prep I have no rasor burn. A cheap brush, warm water and cheap shaving soap. The soap lasts me nearly half a year.
