does anyone make a decent disposable razor anymore
I now have to use two of these POS's in the morning to get a decent shave. I had a braun but the blades in that are $30 and they last about 3 weeks. any suggestions. Im tired of getting cut on a dull razor fresh out of the pack......

I got some Gillette Fusion disposables--Even when new, they seem about equal to a 1 or 2 week used regular Fusion. Not too bad once you get used to them, but not on a par with the replaceable blded ones.
I don't understand why the difference. It seems as if the blades are not locked in as firmly, but thats just my impression

I've been using the Gillette Fusion since it came out in '05. Best shave I've ever had. Caution, blades are expensive, but last about 5 times longer than the others...
I haven't tried the fully disposable version, because I like the original

I use that Schick 4 blade disposable and am very happy with how it shaves. They don't last a real long time, though.

I use a Gillette adjustable very similar to the one shown on the bottom of that Wikipedia page. It's not a disposable razor, but the blades are - and they're cheap. |

I've been buying my blades from this company for several years now since learning about them in this forum. The blades last a very long time!!!
http://www.greatrazors.com/ At the time, the guy at great razors offered to send any member a free blade so they could try it out.

for some reason the only Bics I can get in florida is the white top, orange handle ones, I used to use the orange top, white handle ones in Ohio. shicks never work for me at all. I have been using a bic orange handle, then a gillette comfort after that to get a close shave, on days I dont care I just use the bic. either way the bic last 2 shaves and if used second the gillette lasts a week. I used to get a week out of the white handle bics. I think I might try the safety razor or the fusion, Im hating these crappy disposables now, I guess they are made in China now too.

I use a Gilette Trak 2 handle (have one for home and one for travel, which I do a lot - bought the second one as NOS from ebay) and generic Walgreens or Walmart double blade refills, since Gilette does not seem to make original Trak 2 blades any more.
I get at least 4 weeks out of one cartridge/blade. I have found that a) one's face gets used to a certain type of razor and 2) when I do finally change the blade after about 30 shaves, it takes about 3 shaves to get the new blade "broken in". It doesn't feel exactly right until it's worn just a tad, or the anti corrosion oil is worn off, or something. I tried my son's 5 bladed razor, the name escapes me, and holy crap was that a different feeling than my 2 bladed thing. And the cartridges are hideously expensive, locked away in a cabinet in the stores! Rgds, Chris W. no electrics for me |

I use my grandpa's old straight razor. You know, the one with the cup and the brush that you make your own shaving lather from. Works especially well cause I only really shave when I go out. You don't need to shave to drive a tractor.....
