I ordered these blades with the razor that goes there a few months on Amazon. I come from a simple Mach 3 but have tested all versions thereof as well as the 1st Merger of competing brand. Note that I shave my full, crane + beard, mostly to the skull length of a week, and every 2 days for the beard.

And then, surprise, shaving at least equivalent, see higher and everlasting razor. I use the same for 2 months to shave the skull in the shower, putting the finishing thereafter with new blades. So, I expect to find the disposable model to make a promo stock ...
