I'm using blades from Walmart and they stay sharp for about 3or 4 shaves.
A few years ago I went to a saftey razor and I can't find any decent blades around.

I like the blue handle Bic ones if you rinse them after shaving they last a long time .

Go on Amazon and buy a multi sampler pack. It comes with several brands and they don't all shave the same. Once you find the one that works best for you. Just order that brand.

I like the "pink" ones.
I've got sensitive skin smile


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Had the same original Gillete Sensor for 20 years. I know,Gillete like half of the companies have went woke. Its tiring trying to figure which companies want me to become a liberal tranny. I see Carhartt just introduced their “urban ghetto” lineup.

TIP: facial oils contain acids. Acids are tough on sharp things. When done shaving rinse blade well with hot water and then squirt with alcohol. Alcohol will evaporate water and dissolve oils. Blades will last much longer. Have heard storing blade in alcohol or even vodka is even better. Haven't tried that. Isopropyl alcohol is cheap.

then add a drop of olive oil to stop rust

Equate triple blade disposable from Walmart. I get 30 shaves from one. After 20 they start pulling.

I joined Harrys shave club and bought two handles My wife uses them also and we always have extra blades. I have to shave every day for work and these last longer than any blade I have used. Plus they ship them to me automatically. You can also get them just to try from several websites.
