I Googled this and found nothing, I'm bored and would like to get a good shave this weekend before I go out for my Bday so ordering one off Amazon isn't going to work. I gotta imagine there's at least 1 B&M chain that carries a small selection of these.

so... it's one of those stupid old 1960's razor blade razors?

fuck that... i stopped using those 15 years ago.

Kind of slow are you?

I stopped using the DE "safety razors" in the early 70's when the Trac II hit the market.

i have got cheap ones at walmart. but go to target they have some decent blades.

though i recommend you order a sampler pack online and find a blade you like

Dual edge shaving has gotten fairly popular in the last few years. Waggy's suggestion is good. People like different blades, and some work better in specific razors than others.

Target probably won't sell the handles though, I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and spend $10 on some carts for my Gilette or whatever the fuck I have and just order something off Amazon next week.

Handle? What kind of razor do you have? The handle's usually attached to the head....

I have a Schick Hydro 3 right now, DE blades without a handle, or whatever they call the piece the blade attaches to will be worthless.

Unless you're near NYC or Palm Springs. I know of stores in those areas but outside of that you have to order. I recommend the Muehle R89 or Edwin Jagger 89 series. I have a few Merkurs and I think that the Muehle razors have a better head and much better finish and you can get them for the same prices online.

hmm i believe that Target has some cheap razor's think they are en merkur or such.

Target has a nice shaving section. from lotion, soap and blades.

I can't tell what that thing is from the pictures, but it doesn't look like a dual edge to me. This is a dual edge razor...

Wild, I have never seen them before, but they're open until 10 so I'm going to head up there and see. I need some soap and one of those brushes I suppose. Thanks for the heads up I would have never thought to check Target.

Check here or look for a barber supply shop.

The art of shaving is a quality store, however their prices are a ripoff. I got hooked on their consumables after getting that $25 free kit that slickdeals went crazy over.

A word of caution if you go to their retail locations though, its all uppity like an Apple store. Not very comfortable to buy hygiene items that are lit up like a museum.
