Dorco Pace 6 Plus- Six Blade Razor System with Trimmer - 10 Pack (1 Handle + 10 Cartridges)

Let me make it clear that I DO order my Dorco razor products directly from Dorco, but I have attached a photo showing my last order (a few days ago) that included 3 full units, several refills, and even a special razor pack for my son and everything in the attached photo cost me LESS THAN $45.00. It's amazing. I typically order once per year (in bulk) and spend hundreds less than buying similar/less advanced razors in-store for triple or even quadruple the cost. These razors (Dorco) are who supplies the Dollar Shave Club. Except that you spend an average of at least 60% less than the Shave Club for the SAME razors. Oh....and did I mention that their "free shipping" option whether for one razor or a bulk supply STILL ships FREE and arrives in less than 2 days?? That's not a bonus or based on spending a certain amount, either. The latest deal direct from Dorco was "$20 off of any $50 purchase" and trust me....if you are spending $50 there....you are funding you, your mate, and any kids for at least 6 months to a year easily. And with the discounts...you're spending about $30 per 6 months with FREE 2 day shipping (but I swear it arrived less than 2 days direct from Dorco). They are AMAZING. Which is why I'm writing the review here instead of on their site. The razor pictured is what I use for specific lady-parts, but I ordered the complete Pace 7 set, This set, a 3 pack of the 6-blade razors with shaving cream built into the base (for my young son who is growing a kinda-mustache) plus refills for my Pace 6, my boyfriend's Pace 6 PLUS trimmer, AND refills for the razor pictured as well as extras for my Pace 7 that is their most expensive product (sans the "power" version of the Pace 7 which I find unnecessary). These guys are AMAZING!!!! I have been buying in small bulk (ie: family size) from them for 2 years and I can't believe how much money I've saved. Go get one high end Venus or Gillette in a store and then spend $14.00 on a 3 pack of refills? No. I get 7 Blade Razors, 6 Blade Razors with trimmers, a "Lady" 6 Blade, a "Lady Pace 6", plus THIS Pace 6 which is slightly different from the other plus several packs of refills for under $50 and it arrives for FREE in less than 2 days. They are ALWAYS running promos and deals that are incredible. This one was $20 off of $50. They also had a $10 off of $30 (still free 2 day shipping). These razors are SO much better than the Venus, the Gillette, or any other expensive razor you've purchased in store and likely paid $20 for a refill pack of 4 blades. Not here! The photo I'm attaching shows exactly what I got for less than $50 with free 2 day shipping that spans the 2 guys in my house as well as my lady blades and the "men's blades" that I use. It's SO cheap and the blades are all so much better than what you get from stores and clubs. Dorco supplies ALL of the blades to the Dollar Shave Club except rebranded and hiked up about 50% to 70% through the subscription. Please keep in mind that when you order directly from Dorco, there is NO minimum and you don't have to buy in bulk to get the 2-day Free Shipping. I ordered a bunch of razors and blades this past time and then forgot my son's "new" facial hair growth and ordered $10 in razors for him separately that are 6 blade razors with shaving cream built right into the base for easy use (3 of them that are disposable) and even that small order was still free 2 day shipping. They arrived at once in less than 2 days and on top of that....they included a FREE tube of shaving cream that retails for over $7.99 on their site for free as a gift. This website and all of their razors are amazing! It's saved me actual HUNDREDS of dollars since I've used them and they are better quality than what you buy in stores or from shave clubs. I have 4 separate razors that I use for different body parts and STILL save money. My son now has 3 razors with 6 blades and built in cream for his new mustache. These make me laugh at the fact that I used to pay $14.99 for 3 refill blades on a Venus or Schick or Hydro when I can now spend $50 or less on more than one year's worth of separate razors AND refills AND high quality creams and don't even have to worry or think about it because I know they'll have deals. The razor in the photo is just one of the three I use. I use the men's Pace 7 on my legs and delicate areas, the Lady Pace 6 for all other areas, and this Pace 6 (green) for in between areas. Did I mention that you can interchange the heads on any of these razors if you happen to have the refills and the base and/or the base and the refills? They're fabulous enough that I HAD to post on Amazon because whether you're ordering them from Dorco.com directly (which I recommend for the always-ongoing promos) or whether you order them on Amazon....you will save about 75% per year even if you only use the best of the best. They are the best razors out there. And since I didn't purchase them here, my photo shows that I DO purchase them regularly for several years now and also shows what an "under $50 with free 2 day shipping" order looks like from them, regardless of what style/blade/men/women (etc) you choose from. These have saved our faces, legs, and other regions from the costly price of high quality razors and refills at outrageous prices in stores. My personal favorite for *women* is the *men's* Pace 7. It smooths all curves and lasts and lasts. My boyfriend prefers the Pace 6 PLUS that has 6 blades plus a trimmer on the back. For full body shaving *as a lady* I prefer THIS Pace 6 or the regular Pink Pace 6 for full leg, body, face, and delicate shaving. And these aren't cheap plastic. This razor as well as the Pace 6 PLUS, Pace 7, and Pace 6 Lady are all metal and solid without the cheap plastic feeling. If you've been buying from clubs or buying in-store and groaning at the prices....this will delight you beyond belief. Try all of them. Get a "try it pack" (which they have tons of) and you'll still save money. Dorco is freaking amazing and here's our 6 month purchase for 3 people in one household (1 woman and 2 men) for less than $50 total in the photo. Buy it! Omg....I can't recommend enough!

My background, I have been shaving for 50 years, wow, I'm an old dude. I have used Schick, Gillette & other razor brands, very recently including Personna & DorcoUS brands as well as many different types of razors: 1) double blade safety razors. While in the Army, one time I even shaved without the safety handle which I strongly do not recommend. Also while in the Army I was forced to "dry" shave, once again I also strongly do not recommend, as lots of nicks & irritated skin, but this was way better than just the hand held razor blade. Overall I don't reccomend the Army period. People you don't know, try to kill you; 2) I then tried electric shavers, one a triple headed "Norelco" also a "Remington" electric with a "micro shield" & both resulted in skin rash; 3) I used many brands of double edged saftey razors, including, Gillette "Trac II & Sensor 2 blade & they seemed a big improvement; 4) I used Gillette Trac 3 & Trac 3 Turbo for decades, but recently Costco introduced a Gillette Trac 3 "Signature" razor instead of Turbo Trac 3sthat I think is a reduction in quality, lessened quantities & an increase in price. This was the reason I decided to check other razor systems; 5) before this, I had tried two brands of double blade cartridges, then after this a friend told me of Dorco Pace 2 & I also saw Personna 2 bladed razors advertised, so I tried them as Gillete 2 bladed razors were too hard to find & too expensive; 6) after this attempted rip off by Costco, I also tried Dorco Pace 3; 7) next I tried Dorco Pace 4; 8) then I tried Schick Hydro with 5 blades. I did not try Gillette Fusion, 5 blade as they seem too expensive, also I did not try Harry's 5 blade as I felt finding a razor shouldn't be such a hassle; 9) FINALLY I did, however, try these Dorco Pace 6 Plus with a trimming blade & the size of the razor cartridge is humongous which can make it difficult if you shave your upper lip which is not an issue for me, since I sport a moustache. As for how many shaves per cartridge, they seem to last a couple of weeks, for me; 10) I also tried Dorco Pace 7, wow, seven blades! & the only Dorco razor I had yet to try. I was concerned with clogged blades & over priced gimmicks, thus I'd never tried a manual shaver that needs a battery & this was also the reason I kept using the Trac 3s. If you're still reading, you realize my evaluation could have been be skipped over until I typed "finally" in upper case. I wet shave as instructions suggest & as I usually do, except for the Army punishment ordeal & when I used electric razors. After these too numerous razor trials, I think these Dorco Pace 6 Plus razors give the best results for the cost. These 6 blade Dorco also have a trimming blade on the opposite side. These Dorco Pace 6 Plus are the best shaving system I've used regardless of cost. I do a wet shave prep as I haven't had to play Army for 45 years, so no dry shaving in the field & don't think I'll ever be drafted again. I & Dorco advise to not use too much shaving cream or gel after prepping. I also rinse often while shaving. I even clean my razors with a "Water Pic" after use before returning them to their holders. I'm attentive while shaving & go with & then against the 'grain'. I then rinse the area shaved with cool water & lastly apply a soothing cream. I use 1% hydrocortisone & I never get nicks or irritated skin. My shaves are close enough that there's no insultation against cold until stubble returns, so consider yourself warned if you need to expose yourself to cold weather. Disclaimer, I received nothing for this review except discovering a very good razor system that is very good for satisfying, economical shaves. I hope this helps you decide what razor system works best for you & you don't have to spend the time or money that I did to gain this info. Cheers

Update: After using this razor for about 10 days, I've decided to upgrade my review from 3 to 5 stars for the following reasons: 1. After the initial shave, I have not noticed any more skin irritation. I'm not sure if it was the new sharp blade or the difference in razors, but it's no longer a factor. 2. Price: the comparable Gillette product is at least double the price of this razor, and although I still believe Gillette has an edge (no pun intended), the end results are just as good, so it doesn't justify the price difference. 3. Customer service: This company reached out to me after reading my original review (which wasn't bad/3 star), to offer another product that may suite me better. It's refreshing to see a company so concerned about customer satisfaction and willing to stand behind their product (it's rare these days). So they earned an additional star for customer service, and another for value; although the price difference alone is worth 2 stars. Just to clarify what I mean by Gillette having the edge. The Gillette razors have more range of motion in their pivoting head. This is nice, but after a few shaves with the Dorco, it's not a big factor. Also, the lubricating strip on the Gillette is more noticeable and effective, but not a necessity on either razor. In every other way the two products are very similar, including the quality of shave, and functionality. The other differences come down to personal preference. Original review: It's an okay razor for the price, but you get what you pay for. It can't match Gillette in terms of quality, features, and ergonomics. The handle appears to be good quality, but the mechanism that attaches the head to the handle could be better. I've been using the Gillette Mach 3 (3 blades) which is a better razor in my opinion. I did get a good shave with this razor, but the pivoting head has a very limited range of motion, and the ergonomics are not as good as the Mach 3, also my skin felt a little more irritated than usual. I only bought this six blade version because it was a lightning deal, six blades seems like overkill to me. When I finish these, I will try the 3 or 4 blade version to see how I like them. If not I will go back to the Gillette.

Just got my 10 pack in the mail. I think I may have a problem...I have 6 or 7 different razors. I have a thick beard with somewhat sensitive skin. I normally only shave 2-3 times a week. To start off, I last shaved about a day and a half ago - so stubble isn't super long. It definitely feels smoother than the fusion shaving. For me the fusion is useless unless you shave every day, terrible on longer stubble. It does shave very close. The Dorco blade seems to cut just about as close as the fusion but doesn't feel like it is removing the top two layers of skin doing it. The Dorco blade actually does a pretty good job in one pass. I did not find myself going back over the same areas. My go to blade has been the Hydro5. No it doesn't cut as close as the Gillette, but it is waaaaaay more comfortable to shave with. The Dorco isn't quite as comfortable as the Hydro5, but it is still fairly comfortable to use and feels like it cuts a little closer. The only thing I don't like is the trimmer blade. Its angle is a little off to me. The trimmer on the fusion is a notch better. I will probably not be using this a lot in the future. I'll use my sensor excel for fine trim work. I'll update later on after I have gone through a couple blades. My initial prognosis is good- for the price paid, I am not sure I could do better. Update- on 2-3 day stubble (for me) the razor does clog up requiring me to swipe the hair down and out with my thumb. I have very thick beard hair, so this may or may not happen to you. I have made my peace with the trimmer, it does work, you just have to use it at a different angle than you would a gillete razor. I am finding that this razor does give me some razor burn on my neck. Where the Hydro5 does not. I still say it is a good razor, cheap or not. It just doesn't quite work as well as the Schick for my skin and beard type. If the Fusion works well for you, this razor might be a good fit. To me the Dorco really does sit between the Fusion and Hydro5. I would be more likely to buy this than the Fusion.

I wanted to try this razor for the same reason so many others did. I was looking for a more reasonable alternative to the insanely overpriced products from the major brands here in the US. I first tried the 4 blade version of Dorco's razor that is sold from Dollar Shave Club and it was pretty good. It gave me just as good a shave as the Schick Hydro 3 I was using before that. It didn't come quite as close as using a good old fashioned DE safety razor but I don't always have the patience to go at the slower pace necessary to use it properly. So I decided to purchase this and give it a shot. I was expecting a shave on par with other cartridge razors I used before where it isn't quite as close as a DE and irritates the skin a bit too. I was amazed that this was the first cartridge razor I have ever used that actually shaved almost as good as my DE razor. I would still give the slight advantage to the safety razor when it comes to closeness but my skin was practically free of irritation and it shaved very quickly. But then again with 6 blades it better do the job in the first pass or two or else your skin will not be happy. I didn't really use the trimmer blade on the back of the cartridge so I can't comment on that but I have found them to be, for the most part, rather useless on other razors that have the same feature. Aside from the blades being very good the handle is quite comfortable to hold too. I found the one that came with the 4 blade package to be a little too curvy for me and it felt awkward in my hand. The 6 blade handle is more straight with much more subtle curves to make it a little more balanced. The handles and blades are all interchangeable though so use whatever combination works best for you. Listen, some guys just enjoy the task of shaving and see it as a rite of manhood. That's fine and I don't fault any guy who feels that way. For those men a safety razor or even a straight razor is the way to go. I don't particularly look forward to shaving and would like to get it over with as quickly and efficiently as possible. I will admit I do still use a badger brush and a good quality shave soap because the canned stuff does tend to irritate my skin and just feels too slimy to me sometimes. Mitchell's Wool Fat shave soap is my personal favorite and I rarely use anything else. But DE shaving requires patience I admittedly just do not have and the handful of times I tried a straight razor it looked like I got clawed in the face by a grizzly bear. If you share my sentiments on shaving then give this razor a try. If I have learned anything it is that shaving is a trial-and-error process. Every guy has different skin, whiskers, contours, expectations, etc. What works for me may work for you and it may not. I really like this razor. It worked very well on my relatively thick beard and somewhat sensitive skin. Try it and hopefully it will work for you too.
