    It makes me smile every time I see the price tag at the grocery store or Wally Mart

    Now here's the funny thing: the only time I tried a Fusion was when they first came out and I received a free razor and blade in the mail. The blade lasted a whopping two shaves before I had to toss it. At that rate $27 for 5 REALLY doesn't make sense for me lol

    And the packaging is deceptive, I thought I was getting 5 carts...the package said 4 + 1, with trimmer in small letters....on the right hand top side was a large 5...well, it a 5 blade cart with a useless trimmer blade on the end and only 4 carts!!

    Sheesh...

    Now if you look at it like an investment .......in say 130 years you could get 55 bucks for it on z-Bay. This is a subjective value of course.

    There's a real simple solution to all of this...for the days that you can't use a straight, switch to a DE Still about $10 or $15 for 10 blades...and a whole new AD

    Thanks...that's the new plan...a member just got a nice Gillette Aristocrat...I've forgotten how nice those shavers were, haven't used one in 30-35 years...a DE will be next on the list, because at that price for carts...thinks it's best just not to use any....they're too expensive!!

    Not only too expensive but they only do half the job of a DE. But there's still the odd one one out there who thinks some 5 or 6 blade pile of advertising genius will do a better job. Just imagine what 5 passes with a straight would do to your face

    That's interesting you said that, had an important meeting today, usually I only shave every other day, and with the straight, can generally get away with that, but wanted to make sure I was cleaned up today, so I shaved....only did one pass, all WTG, with a little ATG on the jaw line...and it was a DFS!!

    Five passes....good point...haha...I'd be bloody and raw....
