I realize that it will take a long time to pay back the cost of the blades I would have bought, but oh my, the time I have saved is enormous and I am sundress ready.

Double-edge blades are mere cents apiece and the razor, if taken care of, lasts a LONG time. Forget disposables...take Al's advice above.

I was out of shave gel and have very dry/sensitive skin. I had read that baby oil would work and since I had some in a closet decided to try it. It is great...and keeps my legs soft. The other benefit is that my disposable razors last a LOT longer. Like Jenn above, I use baby oil. I was out of shave gel and have very dry/sensitive skin.

It's definitely doable if you look for it. I have mostly been using free sample razors and each time one dies I have another one requested. It’s definitely doable if you look for it.

I have a cheap disposable razor, but I've been using it for several weeks (storing it in a jar of baby oil after each shave) and it's still sharp. Lifehacker has a post on the topic: http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/extend-the-life-of-your-razor-blades-321647.php I use baby oil both for shaving and for storing my razor.
