…higher quality than any of the replacement Gillette razors you buy? Recently went on a trip and forgot to pack my razor, so I had to buy a new Gillette fusion. It came with one set of blades. That set has shaved better and lasted twice as long as any of the other Fusion blades I’ve ever bought. I’ve noticed this over the years with all the Gillette razors I’ve bought.

I’ve noticed the quality of the refills have really decreased. Dollar Shave Club was legit pre COVID, then their prices went way up and about every other cartridge felt like it was tearing the hair off my neck.

This doesn’t seem to be a problem with the new Jeremy’s Razors 2.0

The original Jeremy’s were terrible, but the 2.0 are legit, and the refills seem to be the same quality.

Nothing worse than a razor grabbing on your neck hair. I've thrown away a whole package of brand new razors before when the first razor disfigured my face.

The scientific method would require that, since you have noticed this change, you can prove no changes in your skin and in your beard quality, no changes in your shaving process or technique, no changes in the associated products that you use for shaving, including all characteristics of the water.

Failing documentation of all those things staying the same*, we here have no choice but to dismiss your unsubstantiated opinion as pure poppycock.

Sorry, poppycocker.


*That you have not supplied

Those disposable razors work good for like 2 shaves at best. Nice to use a clean new blade every shave if you want.

Go buy a DE razor get 100 good blades for $12.

I've been a Harry's guy for ten years or so. Good price and longevity, available everywhere, and they don't redesign the wheel every few years. Not that new handles are a big expense but it does annoy me.

Harry’s is what I use every day.

I have a fairly full and coarse beard, use beard creme.

I get about four weeks out of a cartridge because I’m cheap.

Those Chinese dollar razors are for Asians and soys with no facial hair. Real Baws need real razors

Gillette is a garbage woke company that hates its customers and has a subpar product.


Dump the throw away crap and buy yourself a Merkur safety razor and a pack of Feather brand blades. Way better shave, less money, and you are not supporting a destructive left wing corporation.

why not just use a safety razor?

much cheaper in long run and no burn/tugging.

Why men don’t invest in a $30 Merkur safety razor is beyond me.

I get a year’s supply of razor sharp blades (shaving every day) for about $10.

This^

Schick provides a superior blade, which lasts twice as long as its leading competitor, at a lower cost.

I was smitten with Schick brand as far back as 1968, when Paul Harvey actively promoted the (then) new Clickety Schick razor.
