Even at $7 it would be. Well truthfully I'm not a big fan of the form factor/handling but it does shave well. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
2 shaves in, and they have been very smooth. No complaints at all from these. So they are Dorco blades then? I wasn't sure of it, but I assumed they were being that it's made in Vietnam. Going for no#3 shave tomorrow, they show no signs of slowing down yet....
April 26th Shave #13 Another good shave in, and yes with the Family Dollar S/S blade. A 2 pass + touch ups and as smooth as silk. A $0.10 shave never felt so good! I'm really liking these blades, so far. Hopefully the rest are just as good.... Have a great day and great shaves Gents....

I guess technically, I am through with the DE aspect of Anything but Gillette for the month. For the time being, I have reserved my weekends for: Saturday Straights and Sunday SE (Gem Lather Catcher). So, I guess I have two more posts to go on this thread and then it will be history. Thanks for all who joined in on the fun. You can go back to your Gillettes on Monday. HA!
Yeah, I was a bit over confident. It is a marvelous tool. I may dial it back when I bring it out Monday.
Ahh the weekend coming...are cold water SR shaves in store? They are for me and it's another reason to look forward to the weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It was a good run. But still 2 more days for me. Looking forward to bringing out my Gillette Old Type & New LC. Great and efficient razors. It's going to be good bringing them into the foray......
