Strange Locally Sourced SE Blades, ID Help?

[cpacamper]

In anticipation of the arrival of a MMOC, I found these blades (5 for $1.99) at a Navarro pharmacy:

Aybody know the manufacturer and whether these are any good? They are all that's available within 20 miles radius of me in South Florida.

Never heard of or seen those. Let us know how they work out!

Ah. Read the sticky. Korea=Dorco.

So, are the Dorco SE blades any good?

HoosierTrooper, who wrote the Sticky guide for SE blades, panned them.​

Nothing in CVS? They usually have carbon steel (Treet) blades.

I thought I remembered seeing them there, but when I stopped by the location by my office, they were gone and the manager claimed they were not stocking them in South Florida any more. They do have Williams for $1.89 :O

New Dorco SE = Gem with a dozen shaves under its belt for me.

If you want Gem carbons, saw this in deals section:http://www.amazon.com/Gem-Super-Sin...55&sr=8-5&keywords=gem+blue+star+razor+blades

120 blades for $15 is a pretty sweet deal, well into the DE blade price range!

Or better yet, 120 Treets for a $10 Add-On here:http://www.amazon.com/Treet-Super-S...1369873954&sr=1-4&keywords=treet+razor+blades

I would not be afraid to shave with them.

I use the Dorco disposable straight razor blades in my Cobra and get a fantastic shave from them.

Slap one and and tell US what YOU think of them

I keep forgetting B&Bs mantra: YMMV! Thanks, gents.

Yep, them be Dorcos. I've shaved sucessfully with Dorco DE blades, but from the moment I put a Dorco DE blade in the razor there was nothing but tugging and irritation. YMMV etc. but I wouldn't give away those Dorco blades to my worst enemy.



Still, the only way for you to know for sure is to give 'em a try yourself. Just don't say I didn't warn ye!
