Tomorrow will be my first Shave with the ECO. The first thing I'm going to do is remove the gold handle and put on my Stork Titanium (Wolfman Replica). I will be using a DERBY Professional Chromium-Ceramic-Platinum Tungsten and Polymer Coated 1/2 Blades. .10cents/ea. I have 200 of these. The ECO arrives with 100 CROWN Stainless Steel 1/2 bades. Any DE blade can be used, just snap them in half.
