Which cartridge razor/disposable razor did you use today and how many shaves?

[VBH37118]

I was aiming for 50. I have only been rinsing the razor in water. I noticed today that there is a fair bit of soap buildup on the razor head and between the blades. I am going to give it a clean later today and see if that helps. I should have been doing this earlier but the razor just keeps going. The shaves are still good enough for me and I am still happy going on.

Very cost Effective Despite what people think, I hope you get 51 shaves at least.

I should. Bought a 4 pack of these razors when they were on special for half price. I paid $4.50 from memory. At that rate say an even 50 shaves per razor that is 200 days of everyday shaving. I am very happy with that. Also think that this forum has helped me with having a good prep before each shave which I think is a big help regardless of what shaving system they you use.

I gave the razor a clean last night. I could not see between the blades. It came up a treat. Today I did have a couple of weepers though. Have to be honest about that.

Will you make 50?

The other day I used my Mach 3 for shave #11 and felt tugging rather than smooth shaving. I'd been "faux" stropping it and I think that's the longest I've gone. I have a 12 pack of blades to finish so that should last a long while as I mix it in with DE/SE.

I should do. 50 is only 2 days away. I will pay more attention tomorrow. I think because I gave it a clean a was a little over confident as it look almost new.

50 plus 1 for good luck would be nice.

I did open up one of yesterday’s weepers but overall, still an acceptable shave.

Dunno, I never had a Mach 3. I stopped at Trac II!
But I like it, it's pretty smooth. In fact I used it again this morning.

I thought tracII was better, for carts I like schick xtreme 3 and Quattro. Is Kirkland a Generic cart?

It's the Costco store brand. I think the carts are made in Germany but I don't know much else about them. I was traveling awhile back and picked it up. Not a game changer but a decent razor, ymmv.
I agree Trac II is better. Still use mine as well.

Great to hear 50+1. I never knew a cart can go that far.
