I liked their commercial, thought i would look it up.

Personally, a bag of the cheap yellow plastic razors has lasted me 2 years.

    I went backwards on the razor technology. I use the Feather AS-D2 Stainless Steel Safety Razor. A tad bit heavy but I like the end-results with this single edge shaver.

    Thanks for the tip SB. I've been using Mach 3 Turbo and am really tired of getting only 8 shaves at $3+ per blade. Clicked on the link in the article and found Dorco, who supplies the shaving club. Lots of good testimonials, the equivalent to Mach 3 is like 70% cheaper, so gonna try out their stuff.

    I joined awhile back because I really liked their marketing pitch with their commercials. Then I found you can get the exact same razors on amazon for very cheap. I used to use the Gillette fusion and now use the Pace razors. Haven't regretted it since.

    A little tip to make your blades last longer, give them a shot with the hair dryer after use, prevents a fine oxidation from forming on the blade surface.

    I use Gillette Fusion. One pack of 5 cartridges lasts me approx 3-5 years. There is a simple method to keeping them sharp as new for an extended amount of time/shaves.
