I love these things. I'm a grizzled old buzzard who's been shaving for more than 60 years and I've tried almost every razor and shaving system known to man. (I've never actually tried pulling my whiskers out with clam shells, but I've thought about it.) These cartridges work as well for me as anything I've ever used. I get a nice, close, even shave with little effort and no damage to my delicate skin. And as long as you dry the cartridge gently and thoroughly after each use, they last long enough to make them extremely economical. I have a rotator cuff that's torn in two places and that makes it painful to use my right arm for more than a few minutes at a time. So the fact that the Schick razor is light and easy to use is another blessing in my book. Needless to say, I'm hooked on these cartridges. Read more
I didn't think that I would ever write a review for razors... but I felt these demanded one. I have spent my whole life shaving. I had full facial hair when I was 12/13 and joined the military immediately after high school. I shaved my face and head basically daily, almost every single day. I have used Mach 3s, Mach 4s, straight razors, safety razors, electric razors and cheap 2 blade disposables. Honestly, I have been using 2-blade disposables for years now, because I found they are ultimately cheaper and I get a better shave. I normally use each razor 2 - 3 times, throw it away, and repeat. At less than $1 per razor, that is pretty cost effective. I wanted to try some multi-blades again, did a ton of research, and found these. I am a true fanatic for these blades. I can easily use them 5 - 6 times before I feel the need to replace them. Not only that, but they give a GREAT shave. Very close, very smooth. And, most importantly... I NEVER get cut. I can tell you that I make very low effort to avoid getting cut. EVERY RAZOR I have used in the past, I would get cut at least a few times while shaving (or, more than a few times). I have NEVER been cut by these yet, and have been using them for months. I have shaved with low to thick stubble, even after repeated use of the blades... and no cuts. Also, NO RAZOR BURN. I don't try hard to avoid it and don't have incredibly sensitive skin, but do tend to get normally get it at least a bit, periodically. With these, I have NEVER got it. Get these razors, you won't regret it. I have thick facial hair, and 4 of these easily last me 1 - 2 months. If you have thinner facial hair, I would bet that 4 of them would easily last you 2 months. NO CUTS, NO RAZOR BURN. Read more
