Now I have both Gillette<\/a> and Schick<\/a> razor handles, so the brand of razor doesn’t restrict me. It was just a matter of finding out which blade refills were going to be more affordable. First up, on the endcap of the isle, I found this…<\/p>\n Price Check - Razors 01<\/p><\/div>\n For $8.99, I get 6 razor blades (counting the one on the razor blade handle), 4 AAA batteries, and a set of “portable speakers”.
