Razors Direct Review II

Back on December 4, 2011 I wrote about Razors Direct.  It is time to update info on razors.  The Wilkinson Sword Super II Plus was available at Walmart for a good price back then, but not now. You can get Schick disposable razors at Walmart, 12 for $1.97 (16 cents each).  If you use 1 razor/day then the cost is $1.15/week.  You can still purchase Personna Twin II Plus (Non-Pivot), 100 Cartridges for $39.99.  At one cartridge/week, the cost is only 40 cents per week.  I feel comfortable using 1 cartridge/week.  If I changed the Twin II cartridge in the  middle of the week, it would still be cheaper than using a Schick disposable daily, but at $1.15/week the disposable Schick is a good choice.  I do hate throwing away all that plastic every day, so I am inclined to pick the Personna Twin II over the disposable Schick.

The Marquee Twin Blade, as I mentioned in the past, was not good enough to last an entire week.  You had to change that blade at least once during the week.  Razors Direct no longer sells the Marquee Twin Blade.

In summary, you have 2 excellent choices for an economical shave: the Personna Twin II in packs of 100 from Razors Direct, or the Schick disposable from Walmart.

Since I posted this, Razors Direct has changed.  They now only have the  Personna Twin Pivot Plus.  The manufacturer has discontinued the Personna Twin II.  The Personna Twin Pivot Plus will work with most Trac II compatible razors.  It does work with the Col. Ichabod Conk Double Track Handle, which is sold by Razors Direct.

UCF Grad Running US Secret Service

I was pleased to read in the Wall Street Journal, Wednesday March 27, 2013, that the new director of the U.S. Secret Service is a graduate of the University of Central Florida.  Julia Pierson graduated from UCF and started her career in law enforcement as a police officer in Orlando, Florida.  She joined the Secret Service in 1983 and was named Director by the President of the United States.

I got my masters degree from UCF and am always happy to see another UCF grad doing well.
