I'll have you all know I bought store brand Mach 3 razors today in protest

I stopped shaving again

(out of sheer laziness).
I got a lot of body parts lasered because of laziness and boredom and maybe six months will go by and I will randomly look down and see like, 4 super long hairs on a shin.

Mach 3 blades are way overpriced, at least we can all agree on that.

I thought everyone had moved on to the fusion?
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:16 (five years ago) link
The fusion (5 blade) was released when I started shaving and I’ve never known anything else. Still use it to clean up the neck even though I have a scruffy beard now.

I'm a Dorco man, myself.
― peace, man, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:21 (five years ago) link
The fusion is less toxically masculine because it’s like cobalt blue and orange and is marketed as being safer.
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:21 (five years ago) link
shaving blades are a racket and what they do should be illegal. I pay $40 for a 12-pack "refill" and feel like the dumbest man on Earth every time I do. I don't give a shit how "woke" they are.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:22 (five years ago) link
I tried switching from Dorco down to some double-edge safety razor business, under the promise that you can buy like 100 blades for ten bucks or whatever. Sliced the shit out of myself for a couple weeks and gave up.
― peace, man, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:31 (five years ago) link
The Fusion is even more overpriced iirc?
― Locked in silent monologue, in silent scream (Sund4r), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:32 (five years ago) link
Seriously though, Dorco is like $40 for a 24 pack and imo competes well against the stuff you can buy in stores.

i bought a peanut once and it has worked to keep my beard kempt for over a decade if u don't require a clean shaven face i can highly recommend
― Mordy, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 19:36 (five years ago) link
Yeah, the store brand ones I bought today were $9 (CAD) for a 5-pack as opposed to the $22 they were charging for the Gillettes. Hoping I don't shred my face. 2xp

in the side by side it's definitely more playful, more glam. the mac 3 has a rubber grip handle with tire treads. this actually seems more functional but it is also repressed.

dmac 3 also fits that latter description

I've been happy with Dorco. I did Dollar Shave Club until I realized they were just reselling Dorcos. plus go on Slickdeals there are always some Dorco coupon codes

the only feminist Gillette I'm interested in
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 17 January 2019 13:26 (five years ago) link
since the question came up this is from a forbes article (that a pro-commercial slate article linked to):
As Gillette has come under increasing competition from low priced competitors such as Dollar Shave Club and Harry's, along with a resurgent Schick who is offering refill cartridges that fit Gillette razors, its market share has dropped from 70% to 50% over the past decade. Gillette has been forced to drop the price of its razors by about 15% over the past few years and is on the verge of losing master brand status.

Schick who is offering refill cartridges that fit Gillette razors
This is v.v. smart but can also backfire if Gillette does the same.

shaving's a pretty great scam, especially in beardo times where you can soak consumers with a beard trimmer that doesn't clean up the neck well necessitating a traditional razor to clean up the edges
on the bright side it means I buy actual razor blades like, once a year or something because neck cleanup takes a while to kill a blade
― mh, Thursday, 17 January 2019 16:57 (five years ago) link
yeah my philips beard trimmer is shit at cleaning up the neck actually, that's a fair point.
For a while I was on the chromed out safety razor kick--it was a better shave but I nicked myself more.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 17 January 2019 17:05 (five years ago) link
I started doing my neck with a safety razor a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Hot towel for neck, shaving soap, cheap-ass badger hair brush, Feather razors, and witch hazel for aftershave. I knick myself, mainly when I’ve used the razor one too many times, but I did the same with the Mach 3, too.

Since we are all outing our shaving routines: Phillips OneBlade every other day or so and for beard and moustache trimming, Gillette Fusion5 once a week or when I want to look extra classy. I use a shaving gel called Shave With Benefits (the company's owned by a friend of my father's) that is very nice smelling and feeling in itself and claims to extend razor blade life -- and in my experience, it actually does. Pitralon as aftershave, but only the version made for the Swiss market because it's a completely different and better product and finally now readily available outside of Switzerland. (German heads understand.)
