DORCOPace 6 - Six Blade Razor Blade System - Value Pack (10 Pack + 1 Handle)

For a few years, I got mg razors and blades from Dollar Shave Club. I hit a point when I had way too many blades, so I turned my membership off. About a year later, I turned it back on. The razor handles were different and my old blades wouldn’t work. I hate the new DSC blades! They clog up, they come off the handle too easily and when you don’t want them to, and they don’t last very long. I dropped DSC membership and told them why. They told me I could still get the heritage blades, but I couldn’t find them and my emails about them went unanswered. I went online to search for the old DSC blades. Dorco kept coming up and I didn’t know why. After a few searches, I realized the Dorco blades were the old DSC blades I liked to much.I ordered some and, sure enough, they fit my DSC razor. After using the new DSC stuff, these razors are amazing! Blades are sharp, spaced well for easy rinsing and cleaning, and they last a good while even on my tough whiskers.With Dorco, what you get is better than what you pay for. I believe they’re the best blades and razors you will find without paying triple or quadruple the price.You really should give these a try and see what you could be using…..and how much you could be saving!!As the president of Norelco used to ask: “What do you have to lose except your whiskers?”

My wife found the Dorco razors while looking for replacement blades for what I had been using. The price for the razor and 10 cartridges was actually less than what I've paid for a 5-pack of refills. After reading some positive reviews we decided to give it a try.I have for many years used either the Gillette Mach 3 Turbo or the Schick Quattro. I have always had a high opinion of both and this was the standard I was comparing to. I have been using the Dorco Pace for about a month and a half now. I am amazed. The blades stay sharp far longer than what I am accustomed to. I haved changed mine only once so far and I shave every day. Even when I did change it, It was still giving a good shave. They DO NOT clog. So many of the razors I have tried, including the Gillette and the Schick end up getting clogged between the blades. The Dorco Pace does not. It rinses easily and just stays clean.The quality of the shave is excellent as well. I actually get a closer, smoother shave than I have with either of my "past" favorites. At no point have I experienced razor burn or any irritation issues. I don't see myself ever going back to the Gillette or the Schick when I can get a better shave for less than half the price.Also, my wife decided to try my razor. She has used the Gillette Venus for years and was always telling me how much better her razors were than mine. Within a couple of days the Venus went into the cabinet because she ordered her own Dorco Pace. Even on her more sensitive skin there is no irritation. We're both hooked at this point.

Dorco used to sell their products from their own site, but no more. Now you must purchase them from Amazon, but they are still great products. I use the six-blade carts, and I get a good, close and clean shave with no nicks. The carts last a long time, so much so that I tend to leave them on the handle too long. I don't know if six blades is "better" than four or five blades, and frankly I don't care. The big boys of shaving products now know they cannot get away with charging exorbitant prices for replacement carts any longer, and Dorco offers a variety of products for men and women that make shaving easy and affordable. Highly recommended.

Let me preface this update by telling you this: Dorco has, by far, some of the most pleasant customer support representatives I have dealt with regarding a product available on Amazon. I had originally posted my review that I was not really pleased with the blades, mainly this was an issue on my part: I did not give myself enough time to adjust to the razor (I had some ingrown hairs here and there) and secondly, I felt the loss of the trimming blade was a deal breaker. As a result, Dorco reached out to me, and provided me a sample of the blades with the trimmer.This is a very good razor. It is a step up from a three blade, it kicks ass for anything less and makes the cheap bic disposable ones look like the garbage they are. It provides a solid shave and it's by far worth the money. If you are using a three blade razor and are reluctant to upgrade to a larger blade count, this is a great razor to test the water. I went back with the sample blades and gave myself about two weeks or so worth of shaves. I also went back to an old reliable gel foam, this may have helped a bit with the quality of the shave. The shave is a good quality, you will be pretty smooth and the edger is a game changer (as it was on some of the larger brand razors).I recommend without issue, especially if you are currently using a three blade or less razor. The quality and ease of the shave with a multiblade razor will make you wonder why you didn't upgrade sooner. This razor won't tear up your face and generally doesn't irritate. I changed a blade each week for the two weeks and the shave was generally pretty consistent. I have sensitive skin, and in some areas I had to be more gentle while shaving or make sure to not go back over more than once, otherwise I risked cutting myself. I may shave differently or something, who knows. This is a great razor and a great starting point if you are curious about or afraid of trying a more complex razor. If you have stuck with you three blade this long I suspect you will stick with this blade style too. It's night and day with the added blades. The blade packages are also much more cost effective then some of standard Shick and Gillette.Personally, I am going to stick with a Gillette Fusion Glide Blade. I am an aggressive shaver and the added motion provided by the flex ball helps me not totally chop myself up. If you aren't an insane shaver like me, this razor will meet and/or exceed your needs. You will also save money on the blades which adds up over time.So, if you are using a three blade or less razor, give this razor a try. I have a hunch you won't be disappointed and stick with this blade. The price and number of blades you immediately make this price point very solid. If you are curious but were cautious due to the sticker shock or afraid you would chop off your face with a multi-blade razor, buy it. Give it a try. It's worth the test and I suspect you won't look back.I purchased this product with high expectations based on the numerous reviews here. I was pumped and couldn't wait for my first shave with what I expected would be an amazing razor. Boy, was I disappointed. The blades liked to randomly cut you for no reason (not shaving any different then I have for the past like 20 years). I tried several shaving creams and gels. I also tried different aftershaves too. The random cuts, the inconsistent shave quality and I found an increased number of ingrown hairs. I ended up going back to the Gillette Fusion and haven't looked back since. The shave is consistent with the Gillette and it cuts cleanly, safely and no more ingrown hairs.I will say this product does, indeed, shave. If you are using those cheap disposable bic razors this could be an upgrade. However, if you are using a real razor - stick with it. The quality shave is what matters and the blades that come with the Gillette razors are just sharper. Also, the lack of the edging razor sucked. I have about 16 razor heads now that will never get used.It's not worth the investment overall. Stick to a Gillette or Shic or your old school razors. This is maybe a step up from the Bic disposable razors.
