WTF Is This Schick

I've been using strictly Schick Xtreme 2 Sensitive disposable razors (or their Exacta counterparts) for the past 20 years or so because they're precise and they have the little button that knocks the debris out so I get a sharp shave and don't scrape my own cut hairs across my face, but I just bought a new bag from Wal-Mart and, to my surprise, the tacos razors have been entirely redesigned for the worse.

Changes:

• The razor mow seems to be a lighter-weight, material-saving design

• The debris-clearing button is GONE!

• It now has a head swivel mechanism, which I don't really care about

• Cutting/precision is TERRIBLE! I'd be better off shaving with a sharpened rock

I'm going to return the unopened bag ASAP. Maybe I can return the other one if I'm lucky. I guess I'll see if I can still get the old ones on Amazon/eBay. Any recommendations for razors that are like the old Xtreme2 Sensitive? Maybe I'll switch to a safety razor. (I mainly use an electric shaver nowadays anyway, but I finish it up with the Schick).
