Which cartridge razor/disposable razor did you use today and how many shaves?

[blade08]

I've been reading this thread with great interest. Seems you guys are getting great shaves from all sorts of disposable and cartridge razors.

I don't want to derail this thread but was wondering what makes you choose these types of razors over more 'traditional' options like a DE or straight razor?

(ps I found an unopened 5-packnof Gillette Blue II disposables in my travel bag that I will try in honour of this thread )

Razor: 1990 Gillette Atra metal handle
Blade: Schick Super II Ultrex(1)
Soap: Arko shave stick
Aftershave: Osage Rub

I decided to buy some NOS Ultrex blades and I’m glad that I did. This setup gave me a wonderful shave. I love my safety razors, but I’ve been on a vintage cartridge razor kick, as of late.

How far can you usually 'push' any disposable or cartridge?

I am really impressed with the feel of the Labs. They dialed in on the luxury aspect of it. After adding a Super Click head to it, I can even use it at DE prices!

Man 2 blade disposable from Aldi (Aldi Nord), those green ones, i guess about the 20th shave. These work very well, but are very light. They cost about 1,49€ for 10 of them, really cheap but work very well.
Worth a try IMHO.

Thanks for the post , will look for them next time I am in Aldi

Some of these budget cartridges really do give good shaves thesedays

The ones I got are called Raze 3 advance ( made in mexico it seems) , from Home Bargains
3 blade version is 4 pack for £1.49 I used one today and each razor wont dull till about the 7th shave .

My 3rd shave with it , with Blue Stratos shaving foam

Only a one pass shave , as I had a meeting and just wanted to go with the grain as I used to do as a teenager with my sensor excel ( But had no trouble doing ATG passes with this cartridge previously)

The result was a smooth , irritation free shave in less than 2 minutes !

The raze 2 range is even better value , made in Czech republic and a 2 blader , a 10 pack of those is like £1.29

Very glad to know that in a hobby where the cost of soaps, creams, de razors etc can really add up, that there is a viable low cost alternatives in the cartridge realm
