Well, now we are straying! I want to keep this to DE razors! I don't think any of us would be at this site if we loved electric razors and plastic disposables!BIC disposables and pivot heads, if we're going there, I see your BIG disposables and pivot heads and raise you ELECTRICS
Actually I just bought a 99 cents plastic razor on Ebay! Couldn't resist. My Turkish Yuma (sadly no longer available it appears) cost $2, including shipping, from Turkey and was a pretty good, mid-aggressive razor. I believe that there is a Dorco out there that's pretty cheap, and apparently super mild; if you like that type of razor.
The BIC disposables were much less than 99 cents each, maybe as little as 19 cents. If you're willing to pay a buck for a plastic disposable and have a Rite Aid drugstore nearby, you might try their Renewal - a 5 blade plastic disposable with a pivoting head, double coated blade edges, anti-clog cartridge (or so they say, but these are disposables without replaceable cartridges), lubricating strip with vitamin E and aloe, and "Accublade" trimmer, not to mention a long handle that, though entirely plastic, is coated with soft, grippy rubber and actually has a little bit of weight and balance to it. I once picked up a pack of five when on the road. Landfill-bound and supremely wasteful, but as good a plastic disposable as I've tried.
Except, I can't stand multi-blade razors!
I hope to have used one for the last time myself. And five blades is ridiculous. My last post was a bit tongue-in-cheek.
Ah! You got me! But if you're a fan of Mozart, I can forgive almost anything!
