You mean like their shi**y disposables that do nothing but hack up my face??
No thanks...
That's freaking funny. I feel ya. Used a disposable one time and it looked like I took a shotgun blast to the throat and face.
I buy 4-blade disposables (Schick or store brand, no matter) at the grocery at 4 for $5. The pack of 4 is good for 3 months or more, and equally as comfortable and nick-free as Gillette.
I use the cheapest disposables on the shelf, single or double blade. I have been getting three to seven weeks per razor. Occasionally one is not good for even one shave and one this year went for 74 days. I just use soap for lather and make sure to clean and dry the blade well when done. I do not try to keep using it until it is ripping out whiskers. My razors cost from 99 cents for a dozen up to 2.99 for ten. I shave the tip of my chin only on Sunday. Those particular bristles seem to be made of Kevlar or carbon steel. It takes me less than 5 minutes to complete the process.
