I was amazed by the schick. I normally use DE’s or Gem’s. When I am lazy or in a rush I reach for Trac II. I ran out of the Trac II carts and I had a package of these Schick 3 Xtreme Reloads, from a Christmas stuffer. Suffice it to say it did an amazing job it might bump the the Trac II for me. I will have to see how long the cart can last.
Which cartridge razor/disposable razor did you use today and how many shaves?

Imo better than tracII, I had one xtreme3 last over 20 shaves, I do shave every day
Wilkinson Sword/Schlick Quad, 14 shaves. Still BBS with no, or little, irritation. I shave face and neck only with 4 passes.
One of my favorites, the other being xtreme3.
Gillette Sensor 2 Plus (1).
Today was a Bic Flex 5 disposable that I ran across in one of my travel kits. First shave on the razor and it was excellent.
Seems like carts are getting better and better.
The Bic Flex 5 Hybrid is probably the best cartridge razor I've used, and the disposable version is equally as good. Both provide an effortlessly smooth shave, and I keep coming back to them. I just wish I didn't have to order the carts from Amazon; no store around me carries the carts by themselves, just the package with the handle.
I remember people saying the bic flex 5 was not that good when it first came out, things do improve!
Dorco Pace with 6 blades.
My first razor was a Wilkinson just like this one. I think these came out in 1970 so I must have picked mine up around then. I have read that these are the first cartridge razors on the market. The head is very much like that of an injector and there is only a single quality blade. Upon moving to Hawaii a few years later, I couldn't find replacement cartridges so I bought a Schick injector. I decided to buy this particular razor just to take a short trip down memory lane. It shaves and sounds like an injector!

Today was a GII with Trac II Plus cartridge (second shave) and hand-lathered C.O. Bigelow. Smooth, close, and easy, the way it should be.
Trac II (third shave) and hand-lathered Gillette Pure cream for another great shave. 9/10.

According to others who use this razor you have many more shaves with this razor, good luck
It's my current favorite cartridge razor, never disappoints me. I usually get a solid week at least out of each cartridge, sometimes two.
