The Dollar Store Razor Challenge

I actually don't even really know what that means. I've never experienced tugging from any blade.

What I mean by it is when the blade no longer cleanly cuts off the whiskers, it feels like it's tugging them. I've selected a small handful of favorite blades and have learned how many shaves to expect of them. I want a great shave every morning.
 
Well, okaaay! I survived. Got another DFS today with no irritation. Looking at the razor, I think I got lucky with one with no obvious defects. Door close and align well, and to the naked eye, there are no obvious differences to the blade gap. Who knows how long this marvel of engineering will last, but I am done with it. Tomorrow I will compare the FB loaded with an Assure blade, followed by the Aristocrat with an Assured blade. May the best razor win.
 
Bruce certainly is a glutton for punishment! All in the name of "science" right Bruce?
 
This was an extremely good experiment! Too bad there aren’t more of this kind of razors in the wild.

You think we should start getting Assured razors into Antique Stores and such, so more people can find them?
 
Hmmmm. There’s a cunning plan! Distract newbs with shiny new so we can score the goods!
