    Even at $7 it would be. Well truthfully I'm not a big fan of the form factor/handling but it does shave well.

    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....:happy005:

    Razor: Rockwell 6s
    Blade: Family Dollar S/S #3
    Brush: Semogue #1305 Boar
    Soap: Shannon's Silk Pajamas
    W/H: Thayers Medicated
    A/S Balm: Nivea

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Razorock Classic Shaving Soap
    Bunny B-400 Boar
    Parker Variant
    Wilkinson Sword Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Razorock Classic Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 Boar brush. I did two passes the Parker Variant razor and Wilkinson Sword blade on 4. I was a bit over confident, and it bit me on my chin. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    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!:happy097:

    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.

    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...... :happy036:
