Has anyone used the Kroger brand or the Walgreens brand DE blades? Any idea how many shaves I can get out of them?

Has anyone used the Kroger brand or the Walgreens brand DE blades? Any idea how many shaves I can get out of them?
Same blades just different names...they will get you by untill you can buy better ones.
Did you notice where they were
made?
I was looking at a pak of Rite Aid
DE blades today and noticed they
were made in the US.

Did you try the rite aid blades?
I noticed them as well earlier.
Nothing on the packaging indicated where they were made. I have never tried Rite Aide brand...
I think they're Personnas. I've used them extensively, nothing at all wrong with them.
i noticed the CVS , Rite Aid , and Dollar store by me appear to be the same blade all just in different packaging per the stores brand ...the walmart by me carrys only Wilkinson Sword
I use wal-green blades quite often when i use my de, they are not bad blades at all. I keep buying them because it is easier than ordering the "good" blades as wal-greens is right down the road
No I didn't I was in there and just lookedQuote:

I got some Kroger blades at Fred Meyer and they were really harsh and left my skin burning. Wilkinson blades from Wal-Mart are good, they're a lot smoother.
I was in Kroger and Rite Aid and looked
at the DE blades again. The plastic blade
holders look identical and so do the tops of
the blades - each has two arrows pointing
in the direction the blades are to be removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the store brand DE
blades are made in the same plant in the US.
The Kroger blades cost $7.00 and change the
Rite Aid $8.00 and change.
If I used a DE more often I would buy a pak of
each just to try them.

I tried the rite aid blades & was pleasantly suprised. The shave was quite smooth.
I really need to try the Rite Aid blades for oneQuote:

If he agrees to give it a try I will loan him my
Merkur C. If he makes the the decision that he
likes it I will give it to him.
I may as well try and turn him on the using a
brush and soap - the VDH at Rite Aid will be a
good start. I will buy him the set. I will
consider it money well spent.

I wasn't expecting much but its all they sold. I have zero complaints, and there was no irritation whatsoever after shaving. I would recommend them.
i agree on the Wal-Mart Wilkinsons , plus they were less then half the cost of any razors at any of the drug stores by me ..Quote:

No doubt the boy is in Wal Mart a LOT
more than Rite Aid.
I hope that I can convince him. Who know
perhaps a short distance down the road
I can turn him on to straights.
I've got a 5/8 Geneva RP with his name written
on it...

The straight blade may be a tougher sell.
You are probably right. To be honest I thinkQuote:
