Bring me your cheap shaves, your ultra-frugal tips, your flea market finds. Here’s the place to discuss razors and other shaving stuff that costs less than $15 US.
Love that Yuma. That’s the best shaving DE in my den. There’s a Dollar Tree Chinese knock-off of that Gillette that will tear your face off. $1 with 5 blades.
I got a bunch of Super Blues as giveaways should someone get interested in wetshaving.Love that Yuma. That’s the best shaving DE in my den. There’s a Dollar Tree Chinese knock-off of that Gillette that will tear your face off. $1 with 5 blades.

The Yuma is a fine shaver but the plating is an absolute disgrace. If you want to experience Zamak rot in high speed look no further.

I even got a fake Yuma once. Shaped like a Tech but with a brittle warping plastic bottomThe hideousness of the Yuma is part of its charm.
Who would counterfeit a razor that costs $4.50 US or less than a buck in Turkey? And how does Dollar Tree sell a TTO or a three-piece, with 5 decent blades, for $1? How?I even got a fake Yuma once. Shaped like a Tech but with a brittle warping plastic bottom
My Yuma came as bare, unplated Zamak. (Three bucks 15 years ago)The Yuma is a fine shaver but the plating is an absolute disgrace.
The Yuma Maladjustable. . . (futilely) trying to get the blade aligned on my Yuma. Forget about it. Just slap in a blade, screw it down and shave, enjoying a close side and an ultra close side.
Somehow there must still be money in it.Who would counterfeit a razor that costs $4.50 US or less than a buck in Turkey? And how does Dollar Tree sell a TTO or a three-piece, with 5 decent blades, for $1? How?

...and you shave with it, pivoting the short handle between the forefinger and thumb which induces the lightness of touch against the skin. -Great shaver especially with GSB IMHOThe hideousness of the Yuma is part of its charm.
Like a 70s Tech - mild but solid in every way.Yeah I got a Yuma very early on in an order from that Turkish retailer that used to be around, it was pretty rough.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen those GSB razors, how are they in terms of blade play/chatter? I’d imagine they’re on the mild side.
I have the same brush. Performs wellArt of Shaving badger brush, buck fiddy (with stand)
Made by Mühle if I'm not mistaken.I have the same brush. Performs well
I've had a couple of these Gillette Blue razors and they really are amazing.. The Blue blades are excellent as well. Wish I would've started DE shaving with those, I'd have saved a ton of money.I got a bunch of Super Blues as giveaways should someone get interested in wetshaving.
