Chad Uses BAD blades!

Someone on another forum said they bought 400 of the Super Homex blades for $17.

I read that also. But couldn't find it anywhere. The most reliable price I could find was roughly 100 blades for $15. I am sure it is someone who bought in bulk from Alibaba and is now selling a very largely inflated price.

\nFollow-up question for the company. Are they aware that their product sucks?
 
Well was just setting my SOTD pic for tomorrow morning and I really don't want to shave with thst GF blade again. But I have a slimmer of hope that tomorrow will be better. We shall see!
 
Volume 7 Graham Field Use 2

Okay well as promised I did attempt to use this blade for a second shave today. It just got worse! Honestly this is not good. This blade did the right side cheek and then this happened:



Yup I reached for the Schick Injector. I could not put my face through anymore torture. Since DE shaving started for me 5 years ago I have NEVER used a blade this bad. And I am not sure if I will find a blade as bad. I guess time will tell. I will be back next week Monday using a different blade. For now I am moving onto the Karve DE razor.

This blades final rating is TRASH! Yes I was able to suffer through a full shave yesterday but NO ONE should ever have to do that.

****RATING SYSTEM****
TRASH: Can't get a good shave. This blade is horrible. Never use again.
BAD: A bad blade but technically still got a serviceable shave, but have no desire to ue the blade again.
GOOD: It was good enough that if I have another blade I wouldn't hesitate to use it.
100PACK: This blade was good enough to warrant stocking up!
 
Bottom left I am 90% sure is a Kai blade.

Bottom right looks like a vintage Personna blade (I could be wrong though)
 
So I found these bad boys for you to try. Though I think the Zorriks are from India and not the Bangladesh ones. I have heard good things about these. But Sputnik’s? Anyone hear of those? Paid $1.49 for a tuck of 5

PM me address of where to send please

\n\nI have heard of Sputnik and some things decent. I have never heard of Zorrik though.
 
I used the Bandladesh Zorrick's before .. They were on par or slightly worse than Merkur. Lots of tugging.

I will try both of these for the fun of it. But won't give an opinion until you give your offical report.
