Where did the M5 Go??
« on: October 11, 2011, 08:10:58 PM »
I may be behind on this topic, but I went to Wal-Mart this week and was thinking about trying my M5 again.  So I needed some new blades.  And saw that they weren't carrying it anymore. 

Is it this way everywhere?  Does anyone know where you can still get M5 blades?

Thanks Mel.  I guess I am a little behind.  I hadn't used mine in over a year. (obviously)  :D

I find them at a number of stores here in Texas.  CVS, Walgreens - drug stores.  food markets carry them also,  Randalls (Safeway) and HEB the largest chain in Texas.  At the latter a cartridge  cost $5.88.  Costco also carry them now in quantity.   Since being introduced to them here I prefer them over what I had been using - and cheaper

Sly,

I found mine on amazon.com. I did not realize all the other stores carried them. I think I got them on special at a good price.

They went bankrupt or something.  Although I still have some blades I found Schick Hydro 5 and it's my tool of choice now.  Best yet.

The M5 goes from Birmingham to Devon.

Just thought you'd like to know :)

They did not go bankrupt. You can still buy them directly from the parent company.... Personna. They are also re-badged under slightly different names for different retail outlets.

I still say that Giollette and Shick ran them out of WalMart; therefore I buy absolutely ZERO shaving supplies from WalMart for their complicity in helping stifle the free mnarket.

Just checked the Dollar General website.  Saw refills that looked identical for $3.50.  Think I'm gonna make a trip to Dollar General.
