In their words
“Before he passed away, I got a belly laugh out of a good buddy of mine when I announced in a gathering of friends, that I thought of him whenever I was standing naked in front of a mirror. I then went on to thank him for introducing me to ProGlide razors, which produce, I still maintain, the closest, smoothest, shave I've ever had.

“As another reviewer pointed out, these are not the same as previous versions. Looks to me like they created a lower quality product for bulk at Costco. They are not as sharp The strip produces little to no lubricant (even new) They do not last long I would equate the performance of these to 5 blade disposable razors. Serviceable yes, but not what I expect for the cost of a head replacement.”
