$22 for a 12 pack!! can i get these cheap somewhere? sam's and costco's pages didn't pull up anything from gillette.
 

Schick Quattro blades are about 25% less and they've got one more blade on 'em.

What's the old marketing saying? "Give away the razor, sell the blades"?

Yep. It works. :D

Really, is what they use now? I always thought they used razors for a closer cut...

And DJediMaster, how the hell do they last you a year? When when I shave every other day a 12 pack only lasts me like half a year.

you should try www.greatrazors.com. I just got an 8 pack of cryo treated Mach 3 turbo blades and I have been using 1 for a week with no noticable degredation. I usually only get 3 really good shaves out of a Mach 3, so far I have gotten 7 with the cryo treated one.

I only need to shave every other day and I shave when I come out of the shower when the hair is nice and soft. Makes the blades last longer by doing it this way.

i shave in the shower. a blade will last me between 3 weeks to 5 weeks, to be honest, the last 2 weeks aren't so pretty, but i keep forgetting to change the blade before going in the shower and once i'm wet, i'm to lazy to get out again to change them.

Just wait until you get some real hair on your face and the damn blades are dull after like 3 or 4 days.

I recently experimented with a Mach 3 and hated it. IMO the third blade is just marketing hype, and I got a worse shave than with my standard Sensor due to the very wide blades and weird head pivot. I don't know how the hell you are supposed to cleanly shave the edge of your sideburns with that dopey Mach 3. I tossed it after I used the two blades it came with and happily returned to the Sensor.

I have to shave daily and sometimes on the run. THe mach 3 is the ONLY blade that I can shave without cream. The quattro is overhyped as it comes.

I graduated from the sensor XL and will never go back.

I just placed an order - they are so cheap that it's worth a shot. Thanks for the tip!

If I am not mistaken Sams and Costcos have it cheaper. The blades rust and get dull rather quickly. I cut myself shaving with dull blades a few times now. Brand new blades I never cut myself, ever.
