One box of 52 Men's Gillette Custom Plus Disposable Razor with Powder Lubrastrip

You Have to Understand What This Is For
Here's the Ending First:Bottom line, these are only useful for situations that require disposable razors.Now the Beginning and Justification:After a lifetime of using their disposable razors, I switched to double edge razors. I now realize that the whole Gillette logic makes no sense, because what they replaced long ago was actually better and cheaper. Here's the breakdown:1. These stupid things constantly have hair stuck in them to clear, but with double edge that doesn't happen.2. These are actually two stacked blades, with the claim that the first pulls, while the other blade cuts. They seem to be the same blade type visually, so that means the first blades is tugging, not cutting … who says the second blade is any better then?3. These are actually quite expensive. In bulk at least $0.60, in smaller bags about a dollar each. That's a lousy deal, given that Feather DE blades are considered expensive at about $0.22, while most other popular blades like Shark are $0.06 (yes, just about 6 cents). So you pay 10-16x the price for throw away plastic?4. Here is the only good thing about these blades: you can bring them on a plane. I'm pretty sure the TSA isn't going to allow a double edge blade in the cabin. So for travel they could be ok.Full Disclosure:To be fair, after Gillette's idiotic attack on men, I decided to start experimenting with other options. Why? Because if you respond positively to bad marketing, it will only get worse. The hip concept of bad mouthing your own customers isn't something I tolerate. Ironically, Gillette killed the goose that laid the golden egg.Old world DE shaving is better, cheaper, and amazingly is OPEN SOURCE! Double Edge is an open standard. You can mix different shavers with different blades. Maybe I want a sharp blade today, maybe I want a mild blade, I have options. Now, I'm no longer trapped in the "ecosystem". Oh ladies, have you seen what they charge you? Yeah, they hate you too.I'll be extra kind and give this a 4 out of 5. They don't really deserve it, but I'm a pretty nice person. Too bad Gillette never learned to be the best it can be.

Like shaving with a chainsaw!
The razor felt like it was leaving little tiny cuts all over me face. It was hands down the worst razor I'v ever used.

I've spent WAY too much money on WAY to many different manual and electric shavers....
....and these guys have been the BEST money spent to shave both my neck (I keep a close beard) as well as my bald head.I've been using these blades for several years now and hope to whomever, they never go away..because NOTHING else available on the market gets the job closer without razor burn or bumps for less. Periodt.I use each razor twice before I feel that it just gets to clogged up and blades become dull... you may get more use per blade if you spent time cleaning them out well enough and drying them, but I just can't be bothered I suppose.10/10 recommend if you are looking for a blade to not hack your otherwise sensitive skin, like my own.

Three Stars
Great price, but only fair razors. I get a few shaves from each before the seem dull.AND now Gillette has run advertising demeaning to all good men worldwide.Get woke.... Go broke. I'm shopping my next pack of razors, and Gillette is off the table for life.

The ABSOLUTE BEST! I hope they're always available.
These are by far the BEST razors ever for me. I use to get them at Sams Club (closed down) then Costco (stopped carrying them) and now Amazon. They last twice as long as any others, especially if you dry them (I just blow hard on the blades) and store them dry. I can get them to last almost 2 weeks.I tried the Gillette Triple blade with the metal handle (image attached) and it is heavy. Its smooth but it won't cut my shave nearly as close.Also tried the Gillette Custom Plus with 3 blades (image attached) and it sucks. I can't even get a close shave with these.Both of these options cost more than triple when I calculate how many shaves I can get.It's strange how the cheapest and least fancy (2 blades) of these three options works best for me. I wonder if the triple blade options work better for other skin types or whiskers????

Just as good a deal as Costco.
We usually buy these from Costco because of the discounts, but with Covid, we've cut down on errands outside the home and perused Amazon instead. These were priced almost exactly (a dollar or two less actually, if I remember correctly) than at Costco. But cost aside, these are my favorite disposables. I use them on my legs and arm pits and the husband uses them on his face and neck. We both highly recommend them. The blades last at least 2-3 shaves (less with my legs when I go awhile without shaving, which during quarantine is totally the case.) They don't rust easily -- even when I leave it in the shower and it's frequently wet. And they don't cause irritation. The razors are sharp enough that they easily remove the hair (thick face hair and thin leg hair) with one sweep of the blade all without cuts.

I also find that the two blades give me a great shave, and I can negotiate around my nose
I've been using the Gillette Sensor 2 blades for years. I found that if I used razors with more than two blades I tended to get more ingrown facial hairs. I also find that the two blades give me a great shave, and I can negotiate around my nose, which was difficult with the multi-blade razors with their wide face. I did some checking around and found this 52 razor pack was the best per razor deal out there. I try to use the razor for a full two weeks, so this 52 razor pack with give me two full years of shaving at a great price.

Muy buenos.
Mi esposo lleva años usando este tipo de rastrillos le acomodan de dos hojas, compramos el paquete porque son difíciles de conseguir en las tiendas por toda la diversidad que existen. Estos son simples y muy buenos.
