Got some of these a few months ago at big lots for 2.00, tried one out this morning to see what they'd be like for travelling. It gives a pretty good shave, but if there's anyway possible I'd still carry my Merkur LH with me on vacations. If for some reason I'd need to get a good shave then they'll definately work. And the fact that they're a single bladed razor is nice because no ingrowns etc.
