While I was waiting for my DE blade sample pack, I made the mistake of buying some Care One blades at Hannafords super market. I managed two shaves before I tossed them in the garbage. A broken beer bottle would have given me a better shave.
Got 50 Trigs to have in my den more out of curiosity. The price was accessible. I agree with you that they aren't the best but they gave a passable shave (used a Yaqi long handled DOC razor). What surprised me when I took one out of the pack was that there were no glue dots to be seen and the inner wrapper that effectively holds the blade was not made out of waxed paper but some sort of inferior pinkish paper with cellulose residue in it. Never seen that before.Trig and I did not agree, multiple weepers with tugging. Tossed mid-shave

I don't even have to think about it. The only blade I haven't finished a shave with, ever.
