Grampi,
How tough is your beard hair?
Also what is your shaving preparation routine.
Also you didn't like the way they (DollarShave and Harry's) handled or the way they cut?
I personally dind't like Harry's when I had to adjust couple thin+tight spots of my goatee.
But the 2 package of Harry's hold me for 1.5 years...But my beard is not necessarily soft fuzz...

My beard is like nails, and I realize that's why I have such a hard time finding razors I like...Mach 3s work great for me, but I can only get 4 or 5 shaves with one...good thing I only shave once or twice a week or I'd go broke! My only prep is shaving right after I get out of the shower...it softens my beard...

Strange, If I attempt after a shower (long/short/hot/cold) my hair will be too soft and I will work a lot.
Usually i just slap some barbasol shaving foam, brush teeth, than shave with some Target 3-4 blades knock-offs, about every 2 days.
But with your beard hair tough, you are a good candidate for a straight razor.
probably for a double edge razor with good prep and good blades. also with good technique.
Would your wife look at you wrong if you shaved your arms in testing of "angle-of-attack"?
Personally I hated double edge when younger because i always cut myself or had shaving rush after almost every attempt.

I would like to try a straight razor, but I've never had the nads to actually try it. I have a nice DE razor and I was actually into DE shaving for a while, but I find I get just a nice shaves from the Mach 3 and it's much more convenient...

Try Costco. I get the Edge razor blades from my local Costco, a pack of 17 blades with one handle and it's only $24. Turns out they are identical to the Schick Quattro, as I have a bunch of those handles and these blades fit.
