    The last time I bought Mach 3 cartridges, they were $16 for a 5 pack! I paid that money to do a chore that I dreaded. Boy, am I glad those dark days are behind me!

    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

    If you just want cheap the own brand disposables are a couple of bucks for 50 or so. But honestly how low do you go?
    Singeing hair would be almost free but a bit risky, and hard to effectively shape beards etc.
