Where did the M5 Go??

• 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?

• hey rick:  walmart does not carry the M5 razors for about almost a year here in florida.  however U can still purchase it @ your local CVS  stores or dollar general stores.  U can  also go 2 their website: www.personna.com.

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

• I was just in my local Rite Aid and they have plenty of them.

• 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.
