    I've been using the aluminum Weishi:

    eBay item number 140484598423
    from vendor "nutnutretail"

    which cost $12.60 _including shipping from Hong Kong_.

    I think the same item is here:

    Weishi Double edge safety razor (Mithril) on eBay.ca (item 160525345341 end time 06-Jan-11 16:38:58 EST)
    It's very light, very "mild"
    (opposite of aggressive). Works well with Feather blades, haven't tried it with anything else.

    Feather blades are on eBay for around $0.50 each; they're very, very sharp, and last for several shaves.

    Think I might go with ===>THIS<===

    Treet 'Del-Rin'
    Sale price: $6.99

    Says it's heavy and comes with 2 blades.
    That's just a little over $15 bucks for a starter kit. I'll see if I catch any new wet shavers with this plan.

    Thank you,

    Looks good to me! I use the similar Dorco 2pc plastic DE form time to time, and get fine shaves from it. The Dorco is surprisingly sturdy, for all plastic construction, and I imagine that the Treet will be similar.

    Hello All,

    Heh, so I am surprised at how small the Arko shave sticks are. It's no problem but I think I will give 2 rather than 1 sticks.

    For some reason I was under the impression that these were the same size as deodorant sticks... They are half that size The pictures make them look like the same size as a cleanser can.

    They are 8cm tall by 3cm diameter BTW.

    No problem I still have plenty!
