Every time I go to the drug store, I stop and check the shaving isle for blades. Yesterday, I saw it had King C. blades so I decided to buy a pack, they were a tad expensive at 8 dollars for a pack of 10, but I hadn't tried them before, and I want to support traditional shaving so I try and buy products when I see them in stores. I shaved with the blade last night, and I was happily surprised by how nice it was. Granted the first shave is always the best, but It was smooth and close. I am looking forward to watching the blades performance over the coming weeks.
