So it seems that these days they are only selling the fancy 3 + blades and they are fucking expensive. I have been using the old style 2 blade razors for over twenty years and I haven’t bought them in probably over a year. I have already checked multiple PX Marts and Carrefours, where I was always able to find them before. But they seem to be out of production so the razor blade companies can squeeze more cash from consumers. In the meantime, I am growing a beard in protest. But I do need to shave the neck and do other touch ups and I probably won’t keep the beard once it’s hot again. So, anyway, if anyone knows where they can be bought or has a secret stockpile, please let me know, and if the latter, I am willing to buy some from you! Thanks in advance.
What kind? Sensor?
I picked up a 6pk of disposable 2-blade Gillette razors at PXMart the first week of January. More than I need so I haven’t looked again. Don’t remember the price but I do remember thinking it was pretty reasonable for Gillette.
Ummmmm… maybe, I think so. I don’t remember exactly because I no longer have the box. I still just have the handle. I don’t want to have to replace the handle either, lol…
Which PX Mart? In Taipei?
Taoyuan City
Darn. Well, I kinda work near Taoyuan City, so maybe I’ll try some PX Marts around work. I will continue the search. I think I might have found them at Simple Mart before, but it’s been years since I have bought them from a Simple Mart. Will give that a shot too.
Could always go really old-school like I have and use a straight razor.
Sharpening and maintenance takes a bit of effort, but it’s a useful skill to develop.
thanks for the suggestion, but the whole point of this is so I don’t have to make any changes to my shaving routine, lol…
Feels like all these new blades are something like this:
Apart from Carrefour I’m not sure where else… you could look on shopee too.
yeah, might have to try that. I just tried a Simple Mart and a Cosmed, no luck. I’ll try another Cosmed and a Watson’s.
These?
COSMED likely have these Japanese ones in physical stores if you don’t want to buy online, appear they should be compatible with a Gillette holder. 【日本Feather羽毛牌】男士美容雙面鉑合金順滑親膚安全刮鬍刀替換刀片-5片/盒（鬢角修容美型剃刀，國際通用刀片規格，本品不含刮鬍刀）_廠商直送 | 熱銷推薦 | 康是美網購eShop
not that.
actually, I’m not looking for the disposable ones. I’m looking for the replacement heads. I have a handle that I’m using and don’t want to have to replace.
Well. I use sensor. The sensor cartridges are found on Shopee while a compatible handle is found on Amazon.
I think it is sensor that I’m looking for. would you mind posting a picture so I can know for sure what you’re talking about?
May be controversial 
but have you ever used Gillette’s 5-blade cartridges? I think the system (swivel handle + cartridge) is called Fusion.
I ask because I’ve found they last forever (if I take care to let the blades drain off after use). I only use them to shave my head twice a week. Has a blade on the back side for trim work. I guess that’s not exactly heavy usage, but I find I only have to change the cartridge about every four months. For me it’s pretty economical even with the ridiculous upfront price, roughly US$1/month. Very sharp, very forgiving. Those you can find anywhere.
Maybe you’ve already tried and don’t like; just an idea.
I honestly like electric razors better, easier to use, don’t have to worry about shaving creams, don’t need babying, lasts forever…
