Men's Disposable Razors - Store Brand or Name Brand?


Product #22: Men's Disposable Razors:

Today I am reviewing Schick Xtreme 3 Sensitive Disposable Razors and Target's Up and Up brand's Men's Sensitive Skin Triple Blade Disposable Razors. Both come in packs of 10. The Up and Up razors are grey and blue and the Schick are black and blue. Both have triple blades and have a moisturizing strip at the top of the blades. If I had to be really picky, I would say that the name brand felt a little more solid and heavier in the hand. The Up and Up brand seemed lighter and a little cheaper when it comes to the plastic handle. When it comes to the blades, we could not tell a difference. When tested, both of these razors did an equally good job of shaving close to the skin without any problems at all. Therefore, I would say that the Target Up and Up brand is a great buy and well worth the switch, in my opinion.

The Cost Comparison (as of 6/30/11 at Target):

Schick Xtreme 3 Men's Disposable Triple Blade Razor for Sensitive Skin (10 pack): 10.99
Target's Up and Up Men's Triple Blade Razor Sensitive Skin (10 pack): 6.59

That's a savings of 4.40!!!! Huge, in my opinion and well worth it!
