Welp, here's the scoop. So I've been trial shaving with a Schick ST2 disposable set, (pretty good, by the way) when I decided that in all that is fair, I'd give these five blade Chinese no-name 5 blade disposables a try from Dollar Tree. They came in three to six blade offerings. Now, the shave I got from this thing with a day's growth was what I had kind of expected; pulling, but being OK at the same time (The lube strip worked when it wanted to).
Anyway, the five blade DID give me a damn near 90%+ smooth neck on a 2 pass shave, especially my Adam's Apple area. I was mixed on the performance of that razor, but it DID get me interested in at least giving a five blade a shot. So, to not break my bank, I bought a Schick Hydro 5 with the handle and 2 carts. Waiting to test it tomorrow to see if I can get the holy grail of shaving, a one pass shave!
