Plus I Buy Gillette Sensor 3 Disposable Razors They Cost me $7 For a 4 Pack Plus I Take Off the Refills From Those Disposable Razors and Reuse Them For My Gillette Sensor 3 Cartridge Razor Handle 😊
Man i love future fiction . One of my top 3. In italy is really hard to get PAA products. And when they comes they go sold out so fast. Right now im using future fiction and dapper doc. Good stuff
We get these in the UK. A 5 pack for 59p (~$0.90). I've not tried them yet, but I keep hearing good things, so I'll give them a try next time I see them.
I just bought this and tried this thing with Dorco primes which are really freaking sharp . I ended up switching over back to my gilitte DE shavette because I didn't want to wreck my face lol I cut my chin just like you did... But I will say... The irritation was minimal compared to the DE razor I have
These are actually solid I dry them and run them reversed direction on the towel it sharpens them and you can easily get 3 to 5 shaves each can't complain for the price and performance.
Not too bad, Rick ! Im learning, too. Here's what I learned - short strokes / stretch skin whenever you can, either with your fingers or with face "gymnastics" / go slow / be mindful of angle, pressure, and razor orientation to skin (at all times !) Always be vigilant ! Going across the chin not practical . Don't go over the same spot too many times without relathering (twice is nice).
safety razors are garbage!!! DE razors simply don't work for me! In my experience they are much much inferior than any cartridge razor. I only have a very close, smooth and comfortable shave with a cartridge or disposable razor, DEs don't even come close of that! And i have much more joy too when shaving with cartridges or disposables
Thanks for the heads up on the Vector cartridge, I just bought one of those handles and will skip the one that came with it and just use the actual Atra cartridges I have. I also have great memories of shaving with Sensor during my teens and 20's, maybe one day I'll pick up one of those again.
Gillette Trac II razors little difficult to find. I buy bulk of 7 O çlock PII cartridges and gillette presto when i go to india. Its very difficult to find PII in USA. cannot change to any other product, as you said it is quick and easy for daily clean shave.
I lived with those or anything on sale and in a bag for 20years and I never found a bad one I also still love barbasol. Wish I could find the AS splash.
This is the best we have, here in Brazil I buy 5 take 7. I shave my head and beard every day, each one lasts 1 week with me. Total of 7 weeks using this wonderful bic.
These razors are outstanding for the price. They're manufactured by dorco but sold under barbasol name. You take way too many pases shaving. I'd guess thats the reason for your irritation. Plus it looks like you're digging not shaving. Your technique is wrong
Rick, I find my Rapira to shave significantly closer than my Merkur 23C, even when I use a Feather blade in the Merkur. The Rapira is an outstanding value !
These are actually made by Dorco - a Korean company that makes Dollar Shave Club razors. I can get a couple of shaves out of these "Assured" razors but I've found that hard tapping them on the short edge against the side of the sink clears them out well. I've always liked Trac II style fixed-head razors and these are surprisingly good. Cheers to Texas from Markham, Ontario.
I prefer to use the vintage Atra handles. The aluminum handles have such a nice weight and grip to them. The current Vector handle works just fine as well, it what I use when I travel. The Sensor and Sensor Excel work great but i just like the way the Atra shaves. It has such good feedback and its just aggressive enough to get a two pass shave done easily. The Sensor definitely shaves smoother but the feedback isnt as good and for me its not as aggressive as the Atra.
I bought a package of Bic razors from Walmart in Las Cruces NM on Valley Blvd. today. First one out of package dull as a butter knife. I bough way cheaper and sharper razors (Not Bic) from Dollar Tree.
I use the trac ii / atra with a taconic handle every once in a while, especially those mornings I'm dragging my feet, and when I don't want TSA to take my merkurs. it's a fine, easy shave. 100 pack of cartridges for ~12 bucks is a steal. Never going 3 blades or higher, 1 is enough. If they have single blade cartridges that fit the trac ii I'll use them, but 2 isn't overkill
I don't understand why people complain about these single blade Bic razors. These are classic razors. They shave absolutely wonderful. A single blade is the best blade for shaving. I have used just about every razor out there. Two blade Bic razors, 3 blade Bic, 4 blade Bic, 2 blade Schick, 3 blade Schick, 4 blade Schick, 5 blade Schick, 2 blade Gillette, 3 blade Gillette, 5 blade Gillette, Harry's razors, dollar shave club. All these multi-blade razors are nothing but a gimmick to get you to spend more money. All these multi-blade razors tug at your whiskers instead of cutting them the proper way. Anyone who complains about a single blade razor is either too lazy to shave, or doesn't know how to shave.
The way that Gillette and the other guys market these 5 blade razors you’d think that they can give you BBS in one pass with the lift and cut technology. Nope, not anywhere close.
Hey man. I was looking to buy that soap and aftershave splash for myself, but I wasn’t sure if the aftershave is cold enough with menthol or not. Did you buy your aftershave with menthol? If so, what menthol did you go with? I’m not familiar with this scent, but I hope it’s good.
Omg, loading the razor was an exercise in patience. I almost smashed the thing in rage trying to load it. I don't even know if I did right. It looks like it hasn't completely closed at the top.
I believe the aggression was due to the blades. I use Lord razors with this same head and, for instance, Astra or a Wilkinson, and it never felt aggressive at all.
I didn't catch if you say where the razor is made. I know the blades are made in Egypt, but where is the razor itself made? By the way, my little girl loves the Aqua Velva scent!
Just finished shaving with one of these with a feather DE blade. My most terrifying and anxiety inducing shave of my life. My face escaped unscathed from cuts, but I sliced my thumb open loading the blade. Using snapped in half blades with this razor is difficult, the pre-cut blades are ideal

@@jstos3675 the top stays open. You can pinch it to squeeze the bottom open to load a blade that way as well instead of undoing the entire mechanism . The entire thing can be an ordeal, I feel your pain
I grew up using the Trac II or the Atra. I like the DE razors and blades because they are cheaper to use and no plastic cartridge but would still use the Trac II once in awhile.
Hi Rick, I am a Gillette Contour (atra) shaver. I have used the sensor excel razor but it cut my face everywhere and I thought it wasn't as smooth as my contour razor. By the way I have invested in The Razor pit, The razor pit strops all Cartridge razors and it keeps the smoothing strip on for longer and I noticed it saves me from buying more blades replacements.
