PACE 3

After years of using Gillette mach 3 razors, my handle broke and I looked at other options. The cost of the mach 3 blades was also ridiculous. I tried a few alternatives including supermarket brands and liked some, but they then changed and were no good anymore, so I looked online. That's where I heard about dorko.Dorko it turns out are a Korean manufacturer that has been around a long time. They are more known for their traditional razor blades, but also have made cartridge razors for other brands. The also supply the well known dollar shave club. I was lucky enough to try the sample pack when dorko still sold direct (they no longer do) and decided the pace 3 and pace 4 were the better ones. I found the higher blade count pace 6 and 7 heads were too big for under the nose and for accurate cuts. Plus the blades are closer together and tended to clog. This also meant I got the better handle from the pace 6. The one that is with this set is OK, but the one I have already is more solid and weighty so I prefer to use that.Pace blades are in many ways similar to Gillette but also different. They are multiple blades that are very sharp, in a cartridge and the quality is top notch. Where they differ:- less aggressive, giving a more sensitive shave. I've never had a rash or irritation when using these.- you need more blades for the same closeness of shave. Many compare the pace 3 to the mach 3 because it has 3 blades, but I'd say it is more similar to the sensor excel and the pace 4 is similar to the mach 3. This is probably linked to them being less aggressive blades.- cheaper. So much cheaper- the blades last ages. I'd say I get 50% more use from these than the Gillette equivalent- cuts. I've never cut myself with these in years of use. I used to get occasional cuts from the mach 3, especially as they wore out.For performance I prefer the pace 4 over the mach 3, with the pace 3 coming in a close third, but the price of the pace 3 is phenomenal so they offer the best value overall. Unfortunately these seem to be getting harder to get hold of. Maybe dorko never really had enough success with the pace range. I'll be buying them as long as I can get hold of them though, or I decide to switch to a DE razor.

Excellent

Normally buy the Pace 6 Razors to shave my head but was getting sick of them clogging up every time I used them as the 6 blades are too many and too close together.Thought I'd try 3 blades and they re much much better and far far cheaper. The blades are spread more apart so don't clog.Pace 3s are easily the best razors I've found for shaving my head.

I have a rare genetic condition very sensitive skin they clearly have a good marketing team but I feel ripped off they claim for sensitive skin not true

Blades ok but the stem handle u cannot get old blades to come out got to fight to get a new blade in

Good value and a lot better than so called better blades which are considerably more expensive. They seem to last a lot longer as well.

The best blades I have ever used, gives a really close and very comfortable shave and the bonus being they are a lot cheaper than my old blades but quality is not any different than the more expensive blades I once used.A very good product that I would highly recommend.

This is a fantastic razor to use I recommend it as you getan excellent shave,and the price and delivery are very goodI shall continue buying these razors in the future.
