Toss up in quality shave with Gillette Fusion - winner on price for sure.
July 27, 2016
Toss up with Gillette Fusion... better than Dorco and Harry's
I've also used Dorco/Pace (aka Dollar Shave Club) 4 and 6 blade cartridges
and Harry's
and "Blade 5" (knock off sold in CVS).
I'd rate Gillette and Schick the best. Takes my beard from 3 or 4 or five days growth to smooth in a few passes with nary a nick.
For me, Schick wins on price, and I think maybe less clogging since overall head is a little bigger leaving more space between the 5 blades.
And maybe less swipes to get to smooth. With grain and then against grain is adequate if I'm in a hurry. But I have to go over some areas an extra couple of times to get "perfectly" smooth. (That's true for me for every razor I've ever used.)
The plastic power vibrator handle for the Shick Hydro is bigger than the Gillette Fusion Power - Perhaps its been discontinued -- I only found it here at Amazon... works fine but I'm about to try the sleeker non-powered Hydro handle...
I wanted to like Dorco/Pace but they are more prone to clogging, even the 4 blade. And maybe takes a few more swipes to get really close.
I also wanted to like Harry's - it was very much like Gillette Fusion in overall feel EXCEPT for me, I almost always got a few nicks (blood!) especially when using starting with a new cartridge. Not painful, just bloody! After a shave or two on a cartridge... okay...
The "Blade 5" knock-off I picked up in CVS - total loser and waste of money - hard to get a close shave - and dull and/or clogged after one or two shaves.

Fake?
January 21, 2018
I have been using these razor blades for years and normally get a good month of use from each blade. These from Amazon are not the same. They are much rougher on the skin and I barely get 2 decent shaves from one blade before it simply stops working and won't cut the hair at all. I either got a bad batch or they are fake. I will not order these again from Amazon.

Blades are made cheap and won't even cut my beard. It took for ever to shave with these. Totally fake blades and will never buy again. I want my money back!

I've bought these from Walmart for years with NO problems at all. Always a SMOOTH shave.
These, that I purchased from Amazon, were of subpar quality. There were nicks and uneven shaves. It also seemed that the shave itself was rough.
I got through 5 razors, with one shave each because they were so bad. The rest? I threw them out.
I repurchased them from Walmart, and alas, we are back to the SMOOTH shave again.
My advice, don't buy these. The quality is horrible. They must be some sort of second tier blades or blades that didn't pass quality control.

This "system" sure does lubricate your face. The shaving itself feels smooth, but you don't realize the shave isn't as close as you thought until all the shaving gel is washed off. Oh, it's very good, but there was still a tiny bit of stubble left on my neck and chin after many strokes --and I don't have a heavy beard. The bank of blades is also so large that I'll have to continue buying cheap one- or two-blade razors occasionally to shave closely around my goatee and tidy up around my mustache. Schick needs to include a blade cover or cap of some kind for travel. I like it very much; just not ecstatic about it.

I have used the Hydro 5's and Hydro blades for years. The Hydro 5 blades are so sharp, you can scarcely feel the blade passing across your face. And the blades last for weeks. I ever got my dad swearing by them.
This purchase, out of the box, it feels like shaving with a rusty tin can, literally. It tugs painfully. It takes several attempts to remove the hair above my lips. And I have super soft facial hair. I barely even have to use shaving cream.
I discarded the first blade after two uses. The second was no better. I did not receive what I paid for. Heck, these blades are not even usable. I want a refund.

I've been shaving for over 60 years now, and have tried just about everything from electric razors, to safety razors and whatever. The Schick razor is far superior to its main competitor, especially the competitors 5 blade version which is next to useless in my opinion. Furthermore, these blades are inexpensive by comparison and last a very long time. I am on my fourth week and I shave everyday. They are smooth as silk, shave without nicking my face. I can shave without any gel or foam when I'm in a hurry and I still get an easy and smooth shave. I'm glad I discovered these in my old age since I am almost anal about shaving

May 19, 2018Not sure what happened but these blades do not look or feel like the blades I have received in the past when ordering the 8ct. I almost feel like they are missing a piece on the bottom part of the blade that would stretch the skin ahead of the blade. I have very sensitive skin and have to replace blades every couple shaves (I shave everyday) but I feel like it’s even worse with this round of blades. Not sure at this point I’ll even get through all the cartridges, my face needs a break. Might try dollar shave club at this point.

I have been using these razor blades for several years, now. There is a good razor blade in about every third box of four I get from Amazon. Recently, I needed to replace the razor, itself as the old one didn't work anymore. When I got the razor, the blade that came with it was great! I realized something isn't right with these blades. My husband and I are going to get some from CVS or Walgreens and see if they are better. I am tired of feeling like I am scraping my skin off and getting a horrible shave. I can only use the razor once, sometimes twice, if I get a fair razor out of the box. I get numerous cuts and my hair is very fine. I am suspicious that these are knock-offs. If they aren't, then Schick has gone WAY down-scale. And, if that's the case, then shame on them! If the razors in the store are just as bad, then I'll be looking for a different brand of razor and blades.

These are some of the best blades i've ever used (even over those trendy shave club blades).
I shave a pretty big surface area, upper torso, face (sometimes) and my head, on occasion, my GF will grab my blades and use them too... even with all that shaving, as long as you keep the blades clean, these things last, and last, and last... i usually end up discarding them because the gel runs out.
I will admit though, on occasion I'll get what seems like a bad blade - right out of the gate i'll get razor burn (usually on my stomach and chest), but aside from that these things do a great job.
Maybe this is TMI, but I use em to shave pretty much my
