Dorco Pace 6 Pro - Six Blade Razor System with Trimmer - 12 Pack Refill (No Handle)

Very happy with these blades. I was previously a DSC member and saw these were compatible with the razor. It's a lot cheaper for me to buy these and they work very well. No nicks and I don't feel too bad about replacing them after a few shaves. Good value.

I got tired of paying for Fusion Proglide blades. I was a Mach 3 and a Fusion user before the Proglide and I could not believe (and still can't) how the prices just keep going up. I really like the Proglide but decided I wanted to try a few other options. I tried the Dorco Pace 6+ first. I was nervous at first because it appeared the blades were getting clogged immediately. It seemed to me they might have been a little closer together than the Proglide. However, this didn't really seem to affect the shave quality much over a week. I usually use a blade for 7 days and then switch. I shave every morning.I next tried Harry's since they frequently advertise online. They sell one blade cartridge, yet numerous handles. I got the orange handle. The packaging, handle, etc. looks really "fancy" and all. However, the problems are numerous. In no particular order: 1) The shave quality is awful. It's not nearly as close as the Proglide or Dorco. 2) After about 2 shaves, the already bad shave gets even worse. The blade wares out really quickly. 3) There is no trimmer. For the 2 weeks I tried this blade, I still used the Dorco trimmer. 4) The handle is slick. I guess it's something you don't notice but the better handles have a better grip. Is it not obvious that your hand will be wet and possibly have some soap or shaving cream residue remaining while shaving? 5) The blade doesn't have a button to pop it off. So you need to yank it out with your wet hands and the lousy gripped handle. 6) The mini "case" they provide to store the blade (it doesn't cover or hold the handle) is inadequate. 7) The replacement blades come in a paper box. They apparently fail to see the convenience of the plastic cartridge holder that attaches to the bottom of the handle/cartridge holder.Anyway, I had a few blades left but I gave up. I went back to the Dorco as I had 2 cartridges remaining. After another week of the Dorco, I decided to order my replacement blades. It is about as good as the Proglide and the cartridges cost less than $2 per as opposed to nearly $4 for the Proglide. Gilette has got to be kidding. I know they do all this research and the products are good but $eriou$ly?.I was thinking about the Dollar Shave Club but I found out they seem to use Dorco blades at about the same price. I always had my doubts and when I saw the ratings for the Pace 6+, I was wondering if they were flooding the reviews themselves. I can honestly say their product is pretty good.

Quality razors at a better price

Great shave! Just a bit difficult to clean because of the spacing of the blades. Lasts weeks!

I've been shaving for over twenty years and have used all kinds of razors. If you're thinking about buying this razor you should give it a try. It is priced right so you don't have much to lose. At first I thought 6 blades were overkill. I had already tried the Pace 3 and Pace 4 and liked them both. So I wanted to try the razor that appeared to be Dorco's best effort.The 6 blades do not irritate my skin. There seems to be something about the design that protects the skin from irritation, but I can't explain it. They are very good for mowing down thick stubble. I find I can rinse it off less frequently because those 6 blades just keep doing the job. They don't drag, just glide. I can even shave with slower strokes and they just glide through the stubble. They never get clogged even when I am using a thick pre-shave oil. They always rinse clean with ease. I've had other razors clog up, but not these. The blades also give this great audio feedback when the stubble is being cut. So when I'm in the shower stall and using a clear cream like Cremo, I can hear what is going on even if it is hard to see. I love this feature.The trimmer works great. It takes a little getting used to (as all new razors do) but I find it works better then the Fusion. I found the original Fusion trimmer clogged up bad. This trimmer doesn't clog. Once I got used to the angle and pressure needed, it worked very well.I have a thick coarse beard and have used this razor 10 times and it is still shaving like new. I predict I will get many more shaves out of this first cartridge.Also I believe that a shave with any razor will be bad if you don't prep your skin well. The right products and technique will make the most difference in a shave. But even in the instances when I didn't have time for a hot shower, pre-shave oil, premium cream or any of the nice things a home shave gets me, this razor performed well enough. A quick spash of hot water in the sink, and some canned shave gel still got the job done without incident. So the razor passed the test even in my worst case scenario of shaving.If there are any negatives about this razor I would say it is the size of the cartridge. The trimmer solves most of the size issues. However sometimes shaving around the curve of my chin the rubber guard and lubrication strip wouldn't make contact with my skin and the razors would be the only part making contact and nick. Yet I got used to it very quickly and am not having an issue with it. As with any new razor, I find as I got more used to the razor the shaves got better and better. My recent shaves have all been nick free and very close.

Have used these for years. Save some money and do t pay for name brands at the grocery store.

Finally a great replacement for my dollar shave club blades!! Looking for strong tension on the handle and blade to shave your head you cant go wrong.
