If you like them check out ordering from Dorco directly. They run some ridiculous promotions.

Saw these at Wally World. CDN dollars but still too much for older style blades.

Why so?
I like Gillette.The guys in the marketing department are geniuses. First the Trac II. Then the marketing department added a blade, then another blade, then another blade. I'm not getting another one until they come out with the Gillette Nuclear 10.
Wait, the Dorko 6 is already out!

I use a either a Gillette or Schick de razor with Pol silver or feather blades. Absolutely te best shave I've ever had.
How long do your feather blades last? I've heard some people use then for 10 shaves before replacing.
The dorco and derby blades I have get replaced once a week since they are cheap enough. I bought 20 feather blades to try out. Just gotta wait for them to show up.

Yeah I stopped buying blades that set of alarms a long while ago. Went the DE safety razor route.

My brother says he gets more mileage out of his by rubbing the blades against a piece of denim when he's done with it. Dries the blade and keeps it sharp.
I just buy the Ali-Express knock-off's because they are cheap and seem to last as long as the real ones.

The feathers aren't my favorite but I usually go 3-5 shavings with them before they get too rough. I prefer the Pol silver - they seem to be sharper and smoother than the feathers but don't last much, if any longer.

Ya. Blade type entirely depends on skin/beard type as well as prep. I get about 6-8 shaves out of a feather but I shave in early morning, use shave oil and Proraso (aka C.O. Bigelo). Interestingly enough I get the worst shaves around mid-day regardless of blade.
I really think prep has most to do with it . I recommend all grey beards use shave oil as I read somewhere that grey hairs take longer to soften up and shave oil helps with that.

Same here; each cartridge lasts a month.

I've used a DE safety razor for years. I used a blade for an entire year once to see if I could. Now I use 2 a year. You just have to clean them and dry tem after every shave. Shave right after showering. I use lathered bar soap with barbasol on top. Bought a hundred pack of Dorcos for about $8 recently. They should outlast me.

What do you clean the blade with? Just water and towel dry on assuming?
I'll give that a try to see if it works. I have the same pack of dorcos and Derby's. Waiting on the feathers to arrive.
That fatboy guy on YouTube was showing how he puts his blades on a magnet on his medicine cabinet. I can't do that but maybe I can macgiver a case to hold the blades.
Thanks everyone for the feedback and tips.

Poor Chuck Norris can only trim his beard with his bare hands. Everything else is too weak.
