Schick

Robert of Portland, OR, writes (5/9/01):
Bought a handle and blade package from the grocery store. I used all of the blades that came with the package and when I installed the last blade I threw away the package that hold the blades. I went to the store to buy new blades and after several attempts I have not been able to find the correct blades (at over 4 bucks apiece). All I know is that it is a red handle with the single word "Schick" on it.

Tthere are 2 reasonable ways to solve this issue -- 1) put the name of the replacement blade on the handle or 2) make all of there blades and handles universal.

Damage Resulting: Well, besides the 3 packages of blades I bought that do not fit, about $12. The whole reason I bought their blade package instead of continuing to use disposables was to help the enviroment. I believe that a single blade thrown away is much better then those other ones with the whole handle.

Gee, Gillette does the same thing. There are so many different kinds of blades that it's nearly impossible to buy the right one. It's very annoying.
