Are there any one-blade cartridges out there besides the Gillette Guard?

Personna Bump Fighter.
Well of course there are several from Bic
Also Kai makes a single edge disposable the Kai Blue (carbon steel blade) and Kai Gold-S (stainless steel blade).
And here is a thread about the Kai Blue:

There is also the Personna 'Gem' single blade, sold in 10 packs in a lot of dollar stores.
The closest thing that comes to mind is the Bic disposable.
Personally I've grown fond of the Gillette Guard as a body shaver for the shower.

Not impressed with the Guard. Prefer the DSC twin blade. Had a bloodbath with the Guard
I found these Bic 1 razors at a local "kinda of $.99" store. I never tried them, only picked them up because some fold here on forum say they have a hard time finding them (but prefer a single blade cartridge if they are forced to use a cartridge). I figured I'd either end up trying them some day or have an occasion to pass them on to someone who needs them. I spent about $1.30 total for 5 razors.
Those were all I used for a time in the '80s. A Bic rep used to stop by the place where I worked and he gave me a sample. I still have a bag of those and I need to try them again.
The Guard is ok...but the Bic Metal rocks!!!

I like the Bic Sensitive single blade disposables. They come in a orange bag with green lettering if my memory serves me.
If you don't mind hunting down vintage, look for the wilkinson bonded. The razors themselves are pretty easy to find. Refill packs are a bit more challenging.

That's interesting. What do you like about them? How do they compare to the Guard for you?
The simplicity of the Bic Metal head. It just a wonderful hair mowing machine, and nicely balanced. The Guard seems too "engineered" and is very light.
I would just invest in a Schick Injector if you want something similar to SE cart.
