Chad Uses BAD blades!

I had a rebuttal half typed out, then lost it when the browser refreshed and it’s too long to type out on my phone again. I’ll just wait to hear about your shaves.

Yes Chad, did you contact Dorko to confirm the differences between the 300 & the 301? \n\nAlso, I was noticing that you are still using a mighty thick coat of lather. Didn\'t you hear? Thin is all the new rage in lather. \n\nThank you for the report

\n\nI definitely enjoy a nice thick lather. Thin lather is the rage? What\'s next 5 blades in your cartridge?\n\n

\n\nI have a feeling I know where you are going. I recognize the flaw in my statement but still wanted to make it. IF they are made in different plants I am sure there are minor differences. But at least with what the company is giving us, it is is the same steel and same blade coating. The difference is the package it is delivered in. Take it at face value I suppose. I would expect when I get to the next blade IF the company is being honest the face feel SHOULD be negligible.

Sorry Chad, I have to side with your wife. I would much rather hang with Mickey lol.

I have a tuck tuck of the Dorco 301’s. I got them in a sampler pack a while ago and I don’t think I ever tried one. I’ll have to give one a spin this weekend.

Well I will be using them soon too. I want to see if they feel the same as the 300 to me.
 
Volume 40 Dorco 300 Use 2

Well dropped some controversy in here I see. But hey that's good conversation is what makes this great. If it was simply just shaving and no discussion forums wouldn't exist.

Anyways I idd shave two with the Dorco, smooth and comfortable but lacks sharpness. That is honestly the best way to sum up this blade. I am ready to move onto the 301 so that will be coming this weekend. I am going to hold on off on offering the final rating for the Dorco 300 because I want to see if the 301 is the same to me, if it is then I will offer up a rating for the 300/301. Because if it truly comes down to preference of packaging then I see no need to separate them out.

Thanks for reading along guys!
 
Good stuff Chad and look forward o your conclusions. Saw Kyle's video and I think he had the 300 but were in the plastic. Maybe I miss heard/saw the blade he had, but if so it adds to the controversy/discussion.........

Hmm I will need to watch it. I did read some stuff on fakes, but I didn't touch it because it was so old and nothing recent. Perhaps the Dorco mystery is growing.
 
Alright Mr. Kentucky sent me back to the Interwebs and I did some more digging.

The Dorco Titan was introduced last year some time. Once those were introduced the Dorco 300 was discontinued. Found some stuff in Korean and didn't translate the best but it seems with the introduction of Dorco Prime 301, the Dorco 301, and the new Dorco Titan the company saw no need for the 300.

Also I am fairly confident the blade that Kyle used is indeed a fake. That was a common mistake the people made when faking the Dorco blade.
 
If it makes any difference I have had these blades for around 4 years. Not that it matters to me either way.

A lot of the fakes where coming from years ago. Then I saw you say it came from the Micro Touch, it is possible that they had an agreement with them, but i'm not sure.
 
Volume 42 Dorco 301 Use 1

Well today I grabbed the other Dorco blade the 301 and went for the shave. To be honest for a little spoiler alert no discernible difference between the 300 and 301. I still feel resistance on the strokes, meaning it is not a good clean cut like some of the other blades I have used. The blade is still smooth and provides a nice shave, but not worth trying to chase the BBS on the neck, so I settle for BBS on cheeks and DFS on neck. Just like I did with the 300.

Here is the price breakdwn:

Amazon: $7.71/100 (.08 per blade)
WCS: $12/100 (.12 per blade)
Italian Barber: $12/100 (.12 per blade)
Maggards: $13.95/100 (.14 per blade)

And here is the video for your viewing pleasure:
