@awk Thanks I was pleased since it was my first time ever using the buy command too. I was overruled and had to cancel though- I’m told that more than 2 blades is no good.
@Superllama7 Just to be clear: Ultimate 4ct is $4.27, Refresh 4ct (pack of 2) is $10.71, and Women 8ct (pack of 2) is $19.98, so the actual range is ~$17-22
@Superllama7 We interpreted “8 count (pack of 2)” to mean you got 8 via 2 packs (of 4), but it’s possible it means 2 packs of 8. Oddly even people who bought it seem to have varying results, probably depending on who was fulfilling it at the time.
Definitely didn’t mean to inflate the comp there, I’ll see if we can switch it lower (though obviously it’s a bit late to make much difference).
Once, me and a girlfriend coincidentally used the men’s and women’s models of the same brand of razor. Hers had a different handle and the refills were white (or some pastel color) instead of dark gray, but the blades were otherwise the same. However she REFUSED to believe that she could use my refills, despite evidence and demonstration to the contrary. She thought they were different in some magical way. I never really understood that. But I guess marketers do!
@awk And yet the razor companies charge women more, often substantially more, apparently. Kudos to meh for striking a blow for gender equality and charging the same price for all razors!
“Who is the Xtreme genius that thought of these gems? My wife brought them home yesterday and while shaving with the Hawaiian Tropic scented handle,I was brought back to 1989, drunk in a bar in Houston, trying to pick up on the beautifuly tanned young ladies vying for the coveted honor of Miss Hawaiian tropic. Now I have been sitting all morning watching the NFL playoffs with a razor stuck up my nose. I am in Hawaiian Tropic heaven! Thanks genius guy that invented these things. Not a bad shave either.”
@Pantheist yes, you store them in a blade holder and can recycle it when you’re finished- it will likely be years before you have to if you use a soup can or similar
@PhysAssist Ugh - I generally love BJ’s self branded products but I tried those razors too. I think most of the package is still around here somewhere. Can’t help you with any safety razor recommendations but if you stick to cartridges I’m pretty happy with the Dorco Pace 6.
@craigthom Yep. They’re slightly different but not enough to be an issue. I have a separate trimmer so I don’t need that extra blade. I took advantage of the BOGO offer they emailed recently, along with a $10 off $30 code. Bought 32 cartridges for $21.80 with free shipping. I’m set for quite a while.
@craigthom Ironically I got the offer for the regular Pace 6 and a few weeks later got one for the Pace 6 Plus. It had been quite a while since I’ve ordered from them so maybe it was targeted.

No box? Just jam 'em in the candy corn bags and save me the step before Halloween this year.
You guys put that much thought into the write-ups?
Jam 'em in the candy corn
Halloween candy followed up by razor blades. You guys are seriously fucked up. Thank goodness.
@cinoclav You’re right. Usually the razor blades are inside the Halloween candy.
@cengland0 It’s a Do It Yourself two day kit.

fuck it.

@Pantheist It worked! Your order number is: elastic-dandy-wilderness

@Pantheist Congratulations on getting the buy command right!
@awk Thanks

Justified my VMP membership for another month…

I feel like the part where @sam said I am just going to copy this thread and call it a day was hacked off
@johnathon1010
@dave so you weren’t in a meeting. I knew it
Well this is a real cutting edge deal
Where do you get $38 as an Amazon price? I can’t find a higher price than $20
@Superllama7 Just to be clear: Ultimate 4ct is $4.27, Refresh 4ct (pack of 2) is $10.71, and Women 8ct (pack of 2) is $19.98, so the actual range is ~$17-22
@Superllama7 anyway, maybe it bothers me more than it should

Unboxed razors. Sounds like the Meh buyer is back to dumpster diving. Will unbagged candy corn be next?

Already have Schick’s best razor, the Hydro Power. MEHING IT TO HELL!
Since the actual scent of the handle is a mystery, what do you think it smells like and what would you want it to smell like?
@sjk3 vanilla or coconut Mmmmm!
@sjk3 no longer a mystery.
@RiotDemon damn, beat me to it
i quite liked that review.
Why no option to have a box of 5 1/3 of each type?
Meh. Went to a safety razor and never looked back. Way better for the environment than disposable razors, too
@phat_sumo agree!
@phat_sumo Are the blades on those recyclable?
@Pantheist yes, you store them in a blade holder and can recycle it when you’re finished- it will likely be years before you have to if you use a soup can or similar
@phat_sumo nice
I hit the MEH button twice on this deal…
I second this remark…
This is no deal Yugster had 20 packs for $8.97!
@dwineland link?
@RiotDemon https://www.yugster.com/daily-deal/78176-20-pack-schick-xtreme-3-blade-sensitive-disposable-razor-with-vitamin-e
They’ve had these 3 times I believe. But don’t quote me on that.
Sold out - but they currently have the Refresh for $0.03 less (with cheaper shipping)
Dammit - wish I’d have looked there first.
@dwineland Never seen this site before, but suddenly I need a 32 inch remote controlled robot dinosaur.
Buy Harry’s blades. Best value, hands down.
@carletonbryant4 Not for me, but YMMV. I tried Harry’s and Dollar Shave Club and others and ended up going with Dorco.
I still prefer the Gillette Fusion Pro Glide, but for the price difference I’m happy with the Dorco six-bladed razor.
@carletonbryant4 Garbage. Same with Dollar Shave Club.
I got sucked into the heteronormativity of the men’s and women’s razors…at least they aren’t trying to charge $5 more for the “women” colored ones
or are they just charging $5 more for the “men” ones?
I’m a little disappointed @sam never told @dave “hold on, I’m coming (with the write-up).”
Shipping costs kills any savings.
the next time u sell ugly jewelry I’ll use these to open a fucking vein
@Bevvie
Whose definition of ugly?
@mflassy female humans
How DARE you dictate to those razors what their gender is?!?
I’m half in on this deal
Naw- Meh button mashed- I use these*- but I’m thinking of switching to a safety razor for environmental reasons** so, I am soliciting recommendations.

@PhysAssist Ugh - I generally love BJ’s self branded products but I tried those razors too. I think most of the package is still around here somewhere. Can’t help you with any safety razor recommendations but if you stick to cartridges I’m pretty happy with the Dorco Pace 6.
@cinoclav Have you noticed that you can save a little money by getting the Pace 6 without the trimmer blade on the back?
I tried the 7 but didn’t like it as much as the 6.
@craigthom Yep. They’re slightly different but not enough to be an issue. I have a separate trimmer so I don’t need that extra blade. I took advantage of the BOGO offer they emailed recently, along with a $10 off $30 code. Bought 32 cartridges for $21.80 with free shipping. I’m set for quite a while.
@cinoclav I didn’t get that email. The last one I got was in May. Bummer.
@craigthom Ironically I got the offer for the regular Pace 6 and a few weeks later got one for the Pace 6 Plus. It had been quite a while since I’ve ordered from them so maybe it was targeted.
These would be great to donate to a homeless/domestic shelter.
Not me, though. I’m just the ideas guy.
