Odd that you should mention those blades. Around a week ago I purchased a pack of 15 Mach 3 blades for $11. That didn’t seem all that great until I noticed they were originally $41. This was at Walmart.

I had thought they would fit one of my older Gillete razors but they don’t. Yesterday I went ahead and bought a single razor with 2 blades for nine dollars. I now have over $20 in them and was a bit disappointed.

I used the razor for the first time today and I believe it was the best shave I have ever had. Way better than my old Sensor. Still seems a bit high tho.

Are you serious? At my local Meijers an 8 pack costs about $24...........

You think yours were counterfeits?

Yes, it’s a shame that the idiot management at Sears couldn’t figure out that if someone is stuck buying the same actual Chinese crap product, they’re going to go find it for the lowest price (usually at Harbor Freight) as there is no longer any sacrifice of quality or features to be made in choosing to do so.

This is it. Still does not sound all that cheap but better than $41.

Many years ago while trekking in Nepal I purchased some disposable razors which were made in Nepal. They could not have been more dull if they attempted to manufacture them that way. Unbelievable that people put up with that crap quality. It isn’t even worth 2 cents.

Mec-gar also makes CZ mags at a fraction of the cost of those by CZ. One of the only downsides to owning a CZ pistol is the high cost of OEM mags.

I have a couple CZ rifles. 17M2 and 7.62x39. Both bolt action. Both have expensive CZ mags. The 17M2 was idle for a few years for want of ammo. The 7.62x39 is a great little rifle. Light and accurate.

Springfield Armory went straight to MecGar for the special magazines in the EMP series of 1911 pistols. They are smaller than standard 1911.
