Title: Where did the M5 Go??
Post by: SLYinKC 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?

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

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 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.
