I was checking my amazon order history.....Shaving your head ain't cheap

It doesn't show the quantity of each order, but it was at least 2 packs per date.

damn

Those $27.99 for 4 refills is complete garbage. I was sick of that which is why I'm giving this Darco a try. For the cost of 4 refills I basically got 20 refills, two handles, and maybe 12 disposables...

I was buying Mach 3's on ebay when I first started out over 10 years ago. Turns out they were all fake. Before that, I was buying them at the flea market. They were all stolen and I actually saw the vendor on the news after he and his crew were busted.

That was why I always stuck with ship and sold by amazon. Hopefully these Darco will work out. I will know after 1 head shave if they will hold up for me or not.

I just got my Dorco order in today. I shaved my head with their 6 blade and it beats Gillette's top of the line ProGlide

I haven't shaved my head in a few days so there is some hair. Usually the blade would be dull by the end of the head shave. There hasn't been a hint of dullness with the Dorco. This is with the 6 blade version with no trimmer. I don't know how well they hold up over time though. 2 times was always the max with my type of usage with the Gillettes.

I was paying $3.21 for each Gillette blade. Dorco is $0.95 before discounts

I'll be keeping an eye out for Dorco website sales and will stock up

One of the best gifts I've ever gotten, a double edge razor set:

Amazon.com: Shaving Gift Set with Merkur Safety Razor, Bowl, Shaving Soap, Badger Brush, Stand and Safety Razor, Great Gift Idea for Father Husband or Boyfriend: Health & Personal Care

It does seem like a big initial investment, but look at how cheap a pack of 100 blades is:

Amazon.com: Derby Extra Double Edge Razor Blades, 100 Count: Health & Personal Care

and I get two to three shaves per blade.

Well? Did you like your cheap razor?

el jefe · 03-01-2013, 03:16 PM

just ordered mine, but wasn't smart enough to remember to put in the coupon code so i didn't save any money. oh well, i will remember next time...and it's still cheaper than buying locally.

planomateo · 03-01-2013, 04:26 PM

agree, double edge razor is the way to go... you can buy awesome blades for cheap and swap them as frequently as you like and still save a ton of cash.

I've been using a DE Merkur razor w/ Feather blades for a few years now.

Exactly why I haven't went to shaving my head, I just cut it with no guard, don't want to have to maintain it 2-3 times a week going forward. Already hate cutting my hair weekly.

Why bother with double edge razors when you use a straight razor. No need for replacement blades.

MikeMc · 03-01-2013, 04:36 PM

I just placed my first order with Dorco yesterday. Thanks to the OP for starting this as it looks like I can save a ton this way.

true, I just mentioned double edge razor because that's what I use.

When I first began using it I found myself finding times where I actually wanted to shave.

For people not too sure about double edge or straight edge razors check out this youtube channel and you can see just how easy it is:
