Thanks, Sheldon.:) These blades are offered at an amazing price! $7.37 for 100 on amazon! amzn.to/2mWRCmB Absolutely unbelievable value! If you use one blade four times (as you do), it's more than a year of shaves at about .02 per shave! wow! Glad you enjoyed the review.:) Thanks for the kind words.:)

Mark Szorady I actually seated out by importing cartridge razors.. Trying to fight the high cost of shaving. Then I tried wet shaving and there is nothing like it. Take a look at what I do and tell me what you think. Www.30blades.com

Thank you, Brian!:) I sincerely appreciate the kind words.:)

Agree.:) Safety razors are terrific.:) Thanks very much.:)

Thanks, Jim.:) I'm so glad to hear this and that you're open to giving a DE razor and the traditional wet shave a try. Give it some time.:) These Dorco blades are bargain blades, but yes, I find they give me some really nice shaves. Surprising for the money. I usually toss them after two or three shaves. The Derby blades can be regarded the same. Sorry they didn't work for you, but with blades (and razors, soaps, etc.), as they say, YMMV.:) Try Astra, Personna, Perma-Sharp, Vikings Blade Mild, Derby Premium, Dorco Prime...there are more. In fact, try a blade sampler so you get a nice overview of blades. Any of these will work: amzn.to/33aP4ot (Affiliate link). The Futur clone you have can be a VERY good razor for the money. I get some nice shaves form mine.:) I bought it just so I can travel with it (if I choose) so i wouldn't need to take the real Futur.:) I have two Parker razors. the adjustable Variant which I like a lot and their A1R travel razor. One viewer tells me that the A1R and the Parker 94R have the same razor head. If so, you may want to check it out (unless this is the Parker razor that your found to be troublesome). the A1R gives me a really nice, close, efficient shave in two passes.::) My reivew is at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pN6gqsh5zMfLiWg.html I also traveled with it and that video is at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLukeMuF27zcfmg.html Also, remember to always use a LIGHT TOUCH when using a safety razor. It took some time for my face and skin to adapt to the wet shave. Remember, you don't have to do three passes. If your shave is decent after two passes, then you're done.:) I use an alum block for post shave prior to slapping on after shave or balm. It really has helped me. Also, you can use Cremo as a pre-shave if you want to use another and brush to lather with. HTH.:) And thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it.:)

@@MarkSzorady I literally just ordered a 100 pack of these blades moments before I got the notification of your comment. The Parker I used was one of the new 29-series 2019 models. I was looking to try a butterfly with a longer handle for my first "real" DE razor. I returned it within 24 hours. I started on 2 with my clone, but found myself working up to a three. I was even able to go against the grain on a touch-up pass at the end with absolutely no issue just using water. I think I'm going to like the River Lake clone I got. I know it's the first day, but did the removable head of your Futur or QShave loosen up with more use? Mine was a little difficult on the first use, and I'm attributing that to newness...for now.

@@JCBluenote24 My Qshave (and Merkur Futur) caps have been rock solid. No loosening at all. So much so, that I never even had ahint that it would loosen up or be a problem. If you want to replace, AliExpress has a big sale coming up and the QShave is marked down to around five to ten bucks. www.aliexpress.com/item/32791325508.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.d4f93c00px5K4m&mp=1 Also, if you want to try a butterfly razor that is on the mild side, the Chieftain Jr. is a good choice and less than 20 bucks. The regular Chieftain is a bit more aggressive but still neutral. (Affiliate links) Vikings Blade Chieftain: amzn.to/34CPR20 Vikings Blade Chieftain Jr.: amzn.to/2PRaDqB

I use a parker open comb and it does not seem to me to be a very aggressive razor, I never get cut. I think the blades have a lot to do with it, I used to get lots of cuts with feather blades, but the milder ones work better for me, mostly because I have very little facial hair and do a lot more body shaving.

Excellent to hear!:) One of my bargain favorites for sure!:)

Thanks very much! And glad to hear the Dorcos work well for you.:)

Outstanding!:) Wonderful to hear! The expense of cartridge razors really adds up. Like you, folks just need to do the math, do a little research and they'll be rewarded with great affordable shaves! Really great to hear your story!:)

Ike, since seeing your comments and others, I've gone back to using the Dorco and have been delighted with their performance. IMHO, one of the best, affordable blades on the market.

@@MarkSzorady i got 100 made in usa personnas that dont work well for me, thats like a 3-4 yr supply for me...lol.

@@djilyaz Where'd you buy them?

@@MarkSzorady amazon

@@djilyaz Hmm..and you think they are knockoffs? did you buy form a third party? Just curious.

Wow! GREAT price! I have a few Wilkinson Sword Blades ion my stash. I should give them a second try. I found them a bit too rough the first time around. But I think my face has properly adjusted to where, I'll bet, they'll be great!:) I found this price on amazon: amzn.to/2nPmQiH Where did you find them for 6 bucks for 100? And yes, blades are so inexpensive, I can go three shaves (sometimes two, like you) and then install a new blade. It's a luxury I can afford.:)

Packaging upgrade?

Looks like things have changed since making this video. Thanks for noting.
