They do if you sharpen them. I don’t do this but there are little machines that do it from way back when

Counterpoint: also from way back when, people used to just throw their old razor blades into their walls.

I've wanted one of those vintage ones for ages! I have a beard so I only shave once a week and a small portion of my face at that. But to be able get one of those and have an even smaller cycle of buying blades, please and thank you

I've got a full beard and have had one for my entire adult life, so take this with a grain of salt, but I bought a 100pk of Astra Feather blades back in 2012 and still have a third of them left. If you don't have sensitive skin, they damn near do last forever.
