Thread: I will never use Dorco Shavers again.

Even if your first experience with a straight razor isn't to your liking, there's always the double-edge razors. Between the two options, you'll certainly not return to those plastic things, that's for sure.

I am not sure Dorco is the same as Dorko. Dorko straights are top notch.

Welcome to SRP. Regarding the positive reviews, I once bought some Dorco DE blades and thought they were terrible. In threads where guys talked about their favorite DE blades some guys liked them.

OTOH, a very few guys didn't like my favorites, the Feather and the Gillette Swedes ! So this business of which shaving gear works best is highly individual. In general I would say cartridge razors are no match for a properly honed straight razor in the hands of a skilled practitioner.

Yep... I have both... Dorco cartridge style/Mach 3 clones.... and Dorko straight razors.

I still use the cartridge style to shave my head and, what impressed me anout the Dorco cartridges was longevity... I get about 4-5 months out of a single cartridge shaving my head 1-2 times/weekly and that is a lot of skin real-estate! So, my $40 bulk purchase of Dorco handles/cartridges looks to last me a few years easily.

But, the one thing I do notice is razor burn (slight) on my head whereas zero on my face with SR's!
