With a little digging sometimes bargains show up. I've used these before with great results, so 67 for $4 was too good to pass up.
You certainly find better stuff at the Goodwill store than I do. The Goodwill store near me doesn't ever have any shaving gear.
I haven't used any of these particular ones, but have used a lot of the CVS carts in the past. I like them a lot.
Some more thrift store finds today. Twenty Trac II carts for $2, eight Mach 3's for $1, twenty WS DE blades for $1 and four Schick Hydro 3's for $1. I am especially stoked about the Trac II's.
HT, you are the unequivocal thrift-shop blade ninja. The one time I found a pile of Schick Super IIs, the price worked out to 50 cents per cart . And I've never found injector cartridges that actually contained blades
Nice finds! I've found 10 generic twin-blade carts that work in an Atra handle for $2.00 at the local Family Dollar store the other day and gave them a spin. They work pretty well, not as good as a DE or a straight, but they'll be great for those days when I'm in a hurry or lazy
I usuall Don't worry about it! I usually use a DE or a straight, but have nothing against carts (thought the Mach3 carts are WAY overpriced). I started using a DE because the carts were too expensive, and I couldn't find my Atra handle (I did get my dad's after he died though) so the cheaper carts that I could get for it were not an option. Cartridge razors are great for travel, or when I'm just in too big of a hurry to take the time to use a DE or a straight.
Yeah the price of carts is what drove me to DE/SE as well though I must say I get better shaves with DE/SE razors. Could be the slower pace and greater attention to technique though. I certainly enjoy the shave now... almost like "me" time.
