odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5098 | Still miffed at the idea that a bunch of weirdos are gaining control at Gillette, I have switched brands Barbasol now makes razors, I bought one, and really like it. Done deal. Apparently made by Dorco for Barbasol, in South Korea ... maybe you can buy the same thing from Dorco if you can find it. I looked that up to be sure Gillette didn't make it!

Those Barbasol razors are great, but not the disposable ones. I kept getting coupons and sales last year, great deals. They really want to take share from Gillette. I got off Gillette a few years back as I got tired of getting skinned on the price of blades. Used Barbasol shave cream basically all my life unless I had a coupon for something else. Shave cream is shave cream, why pay more than the cheapest stuff? The President is a fink. |

Just be careful, get the refillable. The disposable ones are awful. Most disposables are, I keep some in my go-bag, also for vacations. That is it. The President is a fink. |

That's the good stuff. Last year they had specials and coupons that could be combined to get a very low price. I think I had 6 months of blades at one point. The President is a fink. |

SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4170 | I just got whatever generic heavy handle razor with blades that have 5 or 6 blades per "blade'. Like $6 for one but 3 'free' extras. So 4 blades for like $6. Gillette refills are way more than that. They all seem the same to me. I agree that a single disposable blade/handle seems like an inferior shave. |
