Question 1

I shave my head and face. How often do you have to replace handle and cartridges? How many shaves do they last?

Accepted Answer

I shave my face 5 days a week, and head usually every other day.  At this rate, the blades should easily last you 2-3 weeks.  By the way, this is the best razor I have found to shave my head, and I've been doing this for about 6 years.

Question 2

Are blades as good as titanium alternative to hybird

Accepted Answer

Yes they are, testimonies should be available at YouTube. Due to copyright won't be able to post them. Hope it helps :)

Question 3

Can the old style of Dollar Shave Club razor blades fit this?

Accepted Answer

The Dollar Shave Club razors are not compatible with  the Bic Hybrid and would not fit.

Question 4

How does this compare to Walmart's equate 5 blade cartridges?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't. If you try them, you'll see that it's like comparing  a Rolls Royce to a Pinto. I have used the equate 5 blade and they feel so flimsy in my hand. I'm a woman, but I only use men's razors, apparently they think is little ladies can't be trusted around sharp things because they always encase women's razors in safety wire perpendicular to the blades. It's maddening and results in a less close shave.  I've tried just about all of the men's razors in my search for the perfect shave. Mach 3 was my go to for a long time, then they started 4 & 5 blades and when I tried this, it was over. I won't say it's perfect, but I haven't switched on 4 years, so for right now, until technology blows !y mind with so.e new conceptnrazor, this is as close as it gets for me! I hate the way the equate would feel around my knees, where there are lots of awkward angles and raised terrain. I have to be REALLY careless to cut myself with these Flex 5 even though they're proper sharp, but I'd get nicks all the time with equate. I know shaving a face is something to be traversed similar to a knee in awkward, non-straightforward angles, so I imagine you'd appreciate the sturdy, weighted feel these provide as well.

Go to where you get your equate, right now during the holidays you can get a pack of flex 5 with 2 handles and 12 cartridges for 9.88!!!!! Nope not a typo. Or if you prefer they have one with 8 cartridges that's the same but titanium coated flex 5 blades also 9.88. IF I've tried the titanium ones, I didn't find them any different from the regular ones, if that helps. I'd much prefer 4 extra cartridges. Trust me, you won't be stuck with 11 cartridges you don't like!! I'm devastated they haven't been able to restock my subscription of these! I was getting 8 refills for 12 bucks once a month, but they went out of stock on August from fulfilled by Amazon and haven't managed to get them back. I'll be damned if I'm changing to the same amount for $22 from another seller. I'm just going to stock up like crazy at the equate buying place during the holidays and hopefully get a years worth over the next few weeks.
