Ziplocks? Greatest thing since the bread slicer. I always have a box of
the small size, and box of the gallon sizes along. Always in freezer
grade. Use 'em all the time. I thought about dumping the razors into a
small Ziplock then tossing it all into my toiletries kit, and I'm sure
it would keep the covers with the razors, but not on the razors. They'd
come loose and be rattling around in that Ziplock, and I'd still be
annoyed by the bad engineering.
If no one knows of a disposable that has a firmly affixed cover, then it
looks like I'll have to buy samples of them all and do my own review.
May take a while, though, considering how infrequently I shave when
camping.
