"More blood than a backstreet dentist"

I bloody hate shaving.
This is why I can often be seen sporting at least 2 or 3 days growth.
Up until an hour ago I have a week's worth on my mug, almost a beard.
The reason for this stems from one in a long line of poor shaving-related decisions I made a week or so ago.
I was in Tesco doing my shopping when I actually remembered that I needed new razor blades.
I hate buying razor blades more than I hate shaving itself. They are so ridiculously expensive.
This (as Reckless would back me up) leads to the silliest method of "saving" money. The practice of buying a brand new razor which is usually a couple of quid cheaper than a pack of blades. Of course the new razor only comes with 2 new blades & before you know it one's bathroom is awash with loads of razors but nothing but blunt blades on all of them. I currently have 5 different razors.
Then my gaze fell upon a new solution. Tesco's own 3 blade "shaving system" complete with 5 blades for only a couple of quid. Hurrah!
Tesco's own brand stuff seems to be ok in general so razors would be no different, right?
Wrong!
My first shave using said razor resulted in me losing so much blood that if I'd have gotten a stiffy at the same time I would have passed out.
