King Gillette double edge razor at low price

[CheapShvr]

I was in our local Wal-mart two days ago. Apparently they are closing out their King Gillette double edge razors. The normal price I have seen is around $30. They are marked for $6. The box includes five blades. Some other King Gillette products are also heavily discounted.

Must be a local thing, I went to my area 2 stores by coincidence this week (I have avoided them now); and checked shaving stuff and Gillette stuff was absent in one and the other just at the exorbitant prices.

$6 is a STEAL.... get em while you can

I have a couple of razors that work really well for me. One is aluminum with a screw stud of real stainless steel, and will last a very long time. (I made it myself.) At my age, I doubt I will live longer than 15 years, if that. I decided it is a good price only if I need it. I do not.

I can't help but think the only thing Gillette about these razors is the namesake. My gut tells me China and hopefully at least fair quality.

Isn't that video about the Heritage razor, and not the King C. Gillette Razor?

Interesting: I have one of these + 1 I got my bro.....both are just FINE (they are very mild but 3 pass shave will be top notch with no irritation). I do 2 with other razors....I am more of an OC guy. I also have the other new Gillette razor and it's OK. Heads supposedly made in Germany?
I wonder if this guy in the video got the V2 or V3 ..... chinaman special..... maybe that is why they are defective and going for $7 now.

I’ve purchased 2 Heritage razors and while I’ve only shaved with one, both are well made and solid.

Not sure. Basically, I but CDH blades from Walmart when I need them in a pinch. Based on Walmart's "get everything from China whenever possible" philosophy, I do not expect much in the way of quality and the first ting I think with regards to DE razors is a rebranded Weishi. I had the opportunity to examine one of those Walmart TTO razors a few years back. It was a rattle trap. The video is definitely a Gillette heritage. Either way, the Gillette name on a product of that quality sends red flags off in my mind.
