Save Money Using the Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor (Double-Edged Razor)

During the past several months, I have been using a double-edged (aka., safety razor) blade from Van Der Hagen to shave with. The Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor blade is similar to what my grandfathers used for shaving their faces back in the day.

I feel that this shaving blade gives a closer shave and reduces razor burns, cuts, bleeding, bumps and infections. The unit price on the shaving blades are half the cost, or even more, than traditional cartridge blades.

The razor handle and blades take up less space than conventional cartridge razors.  The only thing that you dispose of is the 1/2 square-inch blade.

Traditional cartridge blades normally have two, three or as many as five blades.  Having 5 blades going across ones face at the same time can really irritate and damage the skin.

As a result of using the Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor, my skin feels smoother and more refreshed.  I have been complemented that my skin looks clearer and is smoother as a result.  I also feel more satisfied because of less cost and waste associated with the Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor. Plus, there is something satisfying about shaving with a safety razor that I cannot describe.

The Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor can be purchased from Amazon, the product can be viewed below:

Grocery Cash Back Rebate Mobile App Review - Savings Star (Part 2)

As I mentioned, the Savings Star grocery store cash back rebate mobile app is another easy way to save money.  The grocery cash back rebate mobile app can be downloaded for free with an iphone or other mobile phone such as a Samsung.

So far over the past couple of months I have earned about $15 for basically doing nothing.  I just select the products on the app, buy the products at the grocery store, and either have the cash rebate automatically credit my account or scan the receipt and have the cash rebate automatically credit my account.  Again, you can get anywhere between 25 cents and several dollars ($5.00 for example) for purchasing the products that you click on.  Money can be deposited via PayPal, bank account or gift card when you are over the $5.00 threshold.

I know, $15 dollars every two months isn't a whole lot, but when you combine that with other grocery store cash back mobile apps (I have two others that I use) I can earn up to $300 a year for products / items that I use and for doing very little work.  Plus it's $300 of free money that you would never have if you didn't use the app.  Overall, I like the Savings Star grocery store cash back rebate mobile app, I don't get as much cash back from this app as I do from other apps but it is automated and easy to use.
