Based on 1) price, and 2) some reviews here, I picked up a 100 pack of Sharks. I figured that it was about the same price as picking up a single 5 or 10 pack from CVS, so I wouldn't have an issue with disposing of them.
First shave with one was tonight. Arko, lathered on the puck (squash) with plenty of water, 40's SuperSpeed. I did _not_ take any special care with the blade or razor, and had two days of growth. I just did a normal quick two pass shave without paying any real attention to the blade angle.
Good shave. No nicks, the Aqua Velva burned a bit, but no real residual pain, BBS in a lot of spots, but mostly just a good shave.
For (mostly) the women, I'll say that the Shark and this razor are FANTASTIC for the underarms. (Due to body chemistry, I shave those reasonably regularly, which keeps the odour down or eliminated) I had ZERO issues running the blade quickly across the armpits, even though I didn't bother with a brush or Arko, and just lathered up some Shugar Soapworks Oatmeal and Verbena soap. If nothing else, I may leave a razor in my shower loaded with a Shark just for that reason.
I'll use it again tomorrow or the next day and see how well it works out for a second shave. Then I'll either put it in another razor, or switch to a different blade and repeat the test - probably one of the 'maybe' Dorco's from Dollar General/Family Dollar.
