Post by: tomcj2 on September 01, 2012, 05:53:20 PM
Has anyone tried one?  Sally Beauty Supply has them available at $13.

That is what I started out with. It was ok in my opinion. I didn't get to try it for too long though because one of my boys asked to use it with out the blade. He did and after he used it for a while one of the butterfly side came off. I don't know if it was a fault in the razor or aggressive play by my boy.

At any rate, it's a low cost to try it out. I can't hurt to try it.

Thank you for your reply Doug.  I went to the local Sally's to look at it.  The clerk said they no longer stock them as they were being shoplifted as quickly as they put them on the shelf, or even stored behind the counter.  I would not have thought that a DE would be so popular.

Rather than spending $13 +shipping on something that may be of lower quality I ordered a Merkur #33C for $32 knowing that I will be buying a precision made tool.

Wow, looks like you got a good review from the shoplifters! You are probably making a good decision...I just made a purchase with free shipping from Royal Shave and received it in three days, coast to coast.
