I like trying out the tips I read elsewhere before passing them on to you but I think I may have gone overboard on this one.
Over three months ago I started keeping track of how long I could use a throw away razor before it refused to shave.
I bought a 3 pack of razors for $1.
00 at CVS and to my surprise I am still using those three razors almost 100 days later.
I rotate using them but each one gets used a couple times a week.
I started using a baby oil gel as my shaving lubricate.
I apply it to the area that needs shaving, [legs, underarms or other body parts] then shave as usual.
I then clean the razor in hot soapy water [I use a little shampoo for this] blow it dry with my hair dryer, then pour 2-3 drops of the baby oil gel in my hand.
I spread it to the width of my razor and using a backward motion I push the razor through the gel.
The razors' cutting blades get covered in a light coating of oil and is ready to use when I need it again.
Truly I am amazed that they are still cutting as well as they are and still have an edge sharp enough to do so.
Another side effect to using the baby oil gel, is my skin has never looked better.
Even after bathing, enough of the oil remains on my skin to give it a healthy glow.
New ideas for something you might already have on hand is a good way to save money on your household budget.
If you have a childrens' 42" wading pool, here is a handy idea on how to use it to help you with a household cleaning problem, keeping your blinds clean.
Place the pool on a picnic or patio table, filled it with suds and warm water, and washed your window blinds in it.
By placing the pool on a table, your back wont be hurting from all the bending or stooping, and you wont have made a mess in the house.
After you washed the blinds, hang them over your outdoor chairs, rinsed them with a hose and let them dry.
Other ideas for using the pool, besides giving the kids an afternoon full of laughter are...
[1] bathing your pet.
By keeping the pet in its' normal setting of the outdoors, he will remain calmer and the job ill go faster.
[2] use it as an under lining for changing your potted plants into larger containers [keeps the dirt all in one place for easy clean up], [3] soaking your BBQ grill removable parts for easier cleaning.
Do not forget to add a couple of softener sheets to help with removing of the cooked on food particles.
Happy savings to you!
