Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Kirkland razors, bye bye

Costco has dropped them. A while back, in one of our periodic threads about razors, several members said that they're good razors at a good price. I didn't need any at the time but now I do. I found that the store has dropped them and only refills are available online. I asked a stocker what happened to them and he said they apparently weren't selling so Costco dropped them.

Sunsabitches.

Costco only cares about money.

The dirty bastards.

I’ve noticed that’s been a trend.... all my life, come to think if it.

Don’t worry, Kamela Biden will fix it.

I've been watching for their $12.99 blue jeans, haven't seen them all year. Hope they did not drop them.

I joined that Dollar Shave Club about 3 years ago. I don't have an opinion on whether they are good or not but they have sent me so many of those damn things, I won't need a buy a razor for 5 years.

Speaking of Costco making money, I watched a video about them and how they make their money. While they certainly return a profit from their products, its pretty low. For example, Whole Foods and Dollar General has about a 30% profit margin, Wal-Mart is around 23% and Costco comes in around 11%

They rely heavily on the membership fees to drive their profits which allows them to sell a roasted chicken for $5. Also, if you look, you'll notice they seldom have more than one kind of a product, like that 64oz box of Cheezits. They only carry that size and they only carry that brand if possible, and there is no guarantee they will have it the next time you come in because they negotiate on volume sales to get the price point they want. If they don't get it, they stop carrying it.

If you find some clothes that you like, buy a LOT of them because when they're gone, you'll never see them again. A couple years ago they had long sleeved merino t-shirts for about $20. I bought 8 of them and I'm glad I did. They're long gone in the store. It seems like the only thing they keep selling year after year is their merino socks.

These are very gentle on my balls. You should give them a try.

Mother fuggers.

Costco is run by an anti gun liberal Billionaire here is the Seattle area.

General Mills took an $8B write down on Gillette after the "toxic masculinity" ads.

maybe 'community organizers' should lay waste to the HQ...he can rebuild

Truth.

It's not just Costco. Half the crap I have stored in our modest house was acquired because of the difficulty or uncertainty of being able to replace it. With clothes, it's because anything that fits and looks right on a mature man is no longer available, having been replaced by millennial crap, skinny pants being but one example. And try buying a quality sweat shirt that isn't a hoodie.

I was looking to replace a favorite sweater and it was no longer available, but I found one on Ebay, described as a "grandpa sweater".

Wasn't that a hillbilly song from back in the seventies? "Gentle on My Balls"? Mac Davis or Bobby Baer or some other hick singer?

No shixt? [bleep] uc kers! What brand and type panty hose do you recommend?

Can someone post a picture of a Kirkland razor?

My biggest issue with products I like is not so much that a retailer(s) quit stocking, but the manufacturers start trying to reduce production cost and increase profits by using cheaper materials, cutting processes and exporting production offshore lessening the quality and longevity.

Wilkinsons!!

I'm totally happy with my Harry's razors. You can schedule how many refills you want them to send, and when. If you want to, you can delay a shipment. The razor itself is very comfortable to hold, has a non-slip grip, and comes with a protective travel cover. The blades themselves are German-made, stay sharp, cut clean and have a separate trim blade on the back for sideburns or tough-to-get-to places like right up under your nostrils. I like them so much I bought one just for travel.

I shave about every other day, and change blades once a month - well before I need to. Blades are about $2 each. If you run short for some reason, you can get blades (or full sets) at WalMart.
