Cartridge razor appreciation thread

Not really, I have too many Proglide carts in my cupboard and I can't let those go to waste. When I am done using all of those, I will switch to Mach-3. With Mach-3 cart, I was able to get 12 shaves (only 3 less than proglide). So on cost per shave ratio, Mach-3 is a winner. In comfort, both deliver great shaves, but, proglide performs better on chin area and thats it. Mach-3 also wins in maintenance dept. as I don't need to especially dry and oil the blades to get maximum mileage. All I do is shave with it and then put it away in moisture free environment to dry off for my next shave.

 

I didn't know about that. I stand corrected. Thanks.

 

Have you tried spraying your blades with alcohol? I do that, although I have no idea how much it helps blade longevity. For some reason, that's one area to which I haven't paid much attention. Since you're very clear on blade longevity, I would be interested in your take on the effectiveness of alcohol, if you've tried it.

 

I am sorry, Mr. Nathan, I've never tried this technique of blade longevity. But, various sources have stated that it does help to quite an extent, therefore it must be true.

 

Would you consider trying it and telling us your findings?

 

Now, I'm sure @Sabre have twelve of these already but for a cartridge n00b like myself I was really happy to find this black model of the Wilkinson Sword bonded with the larger sword picture on it. I like the look a lot

​

 

I sure will, Mr. Nathan. I will look for Alcohol spray in pharmacy and retail stores. If I do find one, it will make my blade drying job quite easier.

 

Not 100% sure if I just bought a Wilkinson II or WII cart razor.
I put in a 'lazy 50% on asking price"-bid and ended up getting it.

​

 

​

It is definitely a Wilkinson II, there is the possibility it is both

 

I have a few ...

 

There a few razors that are of a similar design . Dorco was a former partner of Wilkinson Sword.

 

I'm not overly surprised

Do you btw know if they ever did a white version? I've only ever seen grey and black ones.

 

And then there was two... Got my "Tomorrow Never Dies" today

What can I say?

 

Lol twinsies! In more ways than one.

I just received three cartridge razors in the mail...and there's a possibility that not even you have these ones
I'll snap some photos tomorrow...

 

You haven't got a a Timeless TII?

 

Can't you just buy those on alibaba?

Update: Oh wait..even if you could..the volume requirements would be insane

My problem is that I want a couple of Wilkinson Retractors...but the only person selling them will only sell like 60 of them....

 

You do realise I don't collect women's razors ...

 

They are disposables ...
