Buying mens razors.
How is the range of dispossible razors at the supermarket or mall?
or
Should I take a years supply of my own?
I am assuming that RT is pretty quiet, and most of the shopping is done in Damman? or Khobar?

I have been here only two weeks but here is what I think.
There is a lot of stuff you can find in Rahima, which is just outside the compound. Just think of it as the states twenty years ago. If you have been using a razor you love, then go ahead and stock up. The commissary is expensive, they may have it, but it will be a lot.
It is easy to get into Rahima, only like 10 SAR for a taxi. They will stay with you while you do your shopping.
In Khobar you can find a lot of stuff! Pretty much anything you want. There is a bus that can take you there.

There is absolutely no reason to stock up on stuff like that, you can get it all here very easily and its not too greatly expensive. You can even go to the barbers and get a cut throat shave for next to nothing if you want

I agree no need to stock almost anything, you can source most items you needed from either Carfour or LULU supermarkets, prices are very comparable to EU, UK for most of these item.
Company busses have frequent schedule to these supermarkets on frequent basis
