@Countryman
Trust me, I'm utilitarian. I don't need it to be absolutely luxurious, I can deal with a rough pull, but these are rough even on use #1. I've never purchased anything over 3 blades before, and spent most of my life with a good 'ol 2-blader and used them until dull. Maybe my beard is thicker/tougher, I don't know.
The main problem is the design. With the blades sandwiched between a guide strip and the comfor strip, it's hard to get accurate. Anyway, I've made my point. Maybe these blades are good for some people, but they won't cut it anymore for me.

"Men expect comfort and will usually pay a little more to get it." Are you sure you aren't talking about another gender?
The razors are totally fine. After a shave or two they are bad, but the same can be said for just about any disposable on the market. I am not sure which model you are using, but I subscribe to the basic model and its MORE than good enough for your daily shaving activities. I could understand if you have a mountain man beard, and you need that thing to do some serious dammage, but in that case you should use a different tool entirely. Mono, I hear you feel like the blades are uncomfortable, but shaving is a matter of utility, not a matter of luxury. If you are looking for luxury I recommend you check out this fine product. I hear they are made for "goddesses"
- oh, and btw, I've tried shaving with a female razor... those things are absolute shit compared to men'smonospaced

You can also buy directly from their supplier for even less money but you need to buy in bulk. Just lookup the brand name of the razors you get and you'll find the company. All they do is act as a middle man between you and the supplier with a markup. I don't believe they even do the shipping themselves.
- a) there's no brand marking
b) they do the shipping, guaranteedmonospaced - http://www.dorcousa.…aaux

The problem really is that they claim that their razors are "Fucking Great," but they really aren't. I'd RATHER have them make a fucking great razor, charge a little bit more to cover the upgrade, continue to ignore packaging, and STILL undercut the big boys by a mile. At least redesign the razor cartridge so I can shave a little more confidently. Yeah, I agree it's bullshit that we're getting price-ass-gouged just to keep our faces smooth, but men expect comfort and will usually pay a little more to get it.

This is total bullshit. Look the razors are a dollar, so they aren't gods gift to shaving. Having said that, they do the fucking job, and they do it well enough that it makes it worth not spending $20/mo on a pack of mach 3 razor heads. The whole concept of paying a shit ton of money to use something once and throw it away is ridiculous, why not just pay a dollar.

if they sold cars, that would be awesome.

If their condoms are as sub-par as their blades, there are going to be a lot of "accidents" out there.

its like buying no name brand. they claim its the same thing and made by the same people in the same factory but the sweet delicious taste cartoon rabbit is not the same.
- I appreciate your insight, but that's a conclusion I already came to on my own. I explained above.monospaced

I've been using the same set of Mach 3 blades for two years. No problems whatsoever.
- < those blades last long. it's not as expensive as you think.sine

^ you know it is called a "DOLLAR SHAVE CLUB"
same thing saying "I am surprised and angry that the flash light I got from the dollar store isn't worth it"
- well, their CLAIM is that it is comparable to name-brand, and cheap because of direct salesmonospaced
- I pay $1.50 / cartride. Meh.monospaced

I've been a customer for about 6 months now. I'm about to cancel it though because in the end, the shave isn't that great. Here's a list of my frustrations
1) The handle is so large that it won't fit in any known holder in existence
2) The handle is light and cheap feeling/looking, made of pure plastic
3) The "hair lifting" rubber strip is too wide, making shaving tight areas like directly below your nose totallyimpossible.
4) The blades, despite there being 4 of the fuckers on this model, just aren't that sharp. Even the new ones feel like I'm shaving with a 3-week old Gillette, sometimes leaving me feeling raw.
5) The comfort strip is sub-par.
6) The head tilts at MOST 25 degrees. This is contrary to their site that boasts a 90 degree pivot False fucking advertising. I've written them and they won't update the site. I called them and they blew me off.Because of the cheap price and my shaving habits, after 6 months I have a little collection of about 8 of their blades left. Yet, I think the skin on my face is worth the highway robbery that is the Gillette Mach 3, a blade I thought I could replace with these. I know I'll reluctantly fork over the $18 or so for a set of four name-brand blades, but now I realize that's the price for a good shave.
Damn! I was really hoping these guys were a viable alternative.
- disposable shavers are shit. i can't shave with them. they nick and cut rust...sine
