There's always Schick!

Are you a man? That is to say, are you a genetic male who also happens to identify as a "man," for some increasingly antiquated reason? If so, are you under the mistaken impression that you're not a rapist?
Our society has come a long way in shaming men for behaving in any way that anybody anywhere doesn't like, and reminding men that we're all complicit even if we don't behave that way. But it's not nearly enough. The mere fact of maleness is shameful and problematic. Men and boys everywhere need to be reminded that we're evil. We must learn to hate ourselves as much as everyone else hates us. The patriarchy must be castrated.
And who better to do it than a company that makes razors?
Alexandra Bruell, WSJ:
Gillette is embracing the #MeToo movement in a new digital ad campaign aimed at men, the latest message from an advertiser attempting to change societal norms...
“This is an important conversation happening, and as a company that encourages men to be their best, we feel compelled to both address it and take action of our own,” said Pankaj Bhalla, Gillette brand director for North America in an emailed statement. “We are taking a realistic look at what’s happening today, and aiming to inspire change by acknowledging that the old saying ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is not an excuse. We want to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and hope all the men we serve will come along on that journey to find our ‘best’ together.”
There's always Schick!
And Personna. I like Personna blades.
Dang, I used to like Mach 3 before today. Any recommendations for alternatives?
Insulting customers is the new business model.
Dollar shave
or Harrys
King Gillette is rolling in his grave!
believe it or not, the best 3-blade shaver I use right now are the ones at the dollar store. It’s a specific brand LOL
Schick’s blades don’t do a very good job.
I was satisfied with the performance of Harry’s, until they decided to start sending portions of their sales to pervert causes. When I let them know that I disapproved, they suggested that they knew better than I, and that I should understand. I am now on my last Harrys’s cartridge, and it will not be replaced.
I may try “Dollar Shave Club” next. I DO have a stash of 40 1985 vintage Gillette Microtracs (my favorite disposable, no longer manufatured), but I was hoping to keep them as an heirloom. I keep one in action to get the part under my nose that no five blade job can handle.
Barbasol now has a line of disposables, but as they have traditionally been an economy brand, I don’t expect much from them.

I’m not even sure if this limp wrist puke is a man or woman. I told ya this Metoo movement is meant to turn us all into a soft faggots..
Set up a shave plan and the orders automatically come to your house as needed. At anytime, you can revise or postpone the order.
Excellent product, phenomenal service and saved me a bundle of money.
“Old fashioned” double edge blades have improved, and are cheap. I got 100 platinum blades for under $20 and they shave better than the 5 blade wonders.
Go to Amazon and buy the Dorco blades. I bought the six-blade set, like 10 for $20.
Also: The Dorco blades are the EXACT same blades as those used in Dollar Club. If you're going through Dollar Club, you're paying for the hilarious ads.
But alas! (70s advertising voice here, sailboats in the background) If you really want a smooth face that the women would swoon over, buy Magic Shave powder as well. I have sensitive skin, so I use Magic Shave to get rid of my bumps. Magic Shave. Make a man smooth!

Shaving? hahahahahahahaha!
I’ve been using a CVS 5-blade razor since forever that costs a fraction of whatever name-brand it is a copy of (Gillette Mach 5, I think). Anyway, might want to give it a try. Obviously, CVS is the only place you’ll be able to get the handle and replacements. Other stores may have their own knockoff. The quality is indistinguishable from the name brand, IMO.
Save $$$$ and get an old school safety razor for $30-$50, a decent brush and decent shaving cream. Very goods blades will cost you $0.10 to $.25 each to refill. I have a heavy beard and change blades once every two weeks. You will save tons of $$ and get a better shave.
Here’s what I wrote to a woman on Facebook who was wondering why the video was getting so much hate on YouTube.
“First of all, I think the reaction comes from the general cynicism people have about companies appearing to lecture their customers or tapping into social causes for marketing gain (a la the major blowback that Pepsi got for one of the Jenners doing a social justice ad).
Secondly, I think there is a presumption of guilt in the message itself that does not sit well with many of us men. Yes there are very many bad actors among men unfortunately and they deserve all ill that befalls them. However, this video seems to insinuate that it’s pervasive among the male culture.
That’s a pretty broad sweep. I would think most of us men hold ourselves to a higher view than that and we do not like to be condemned to guilt by association, especially by a company that gauges consumers for a bit of steel and plastic.
I would have preferred P&G make huge donations to women’s causes such as women’s shelters instead of spending the money on digital marketing campaigns.”
Always used a Trac 2 hellifiknow who even makes them.
Harry’s. I recommend the Truman set to start.
