Not a kitchen swap, but my safety razor has saved me SO much money. Bought a rockwell for $15 and an assorted pack of 100 (!) blades for $12, verses a pack of fancy venus razor blades are like $6 a blade. Plus as someone who deals with a lot of ingrown hairs and skin irritation, the single blade of the safety razor has been so much better on my skin!
