Fair comment.

You're making many different arguments here. Yes there are cheaper alternatives, and I never said anything about quality. In fact, I would suggest that they give you a rather poor quality shave - you can't beat shaving with a DE razor in the traditional way (though Gilette make some very good DE blades!).

It seems that what you're saying is that you will never vote this type of deal hot because you don't agree with this type of business model - it's the old saying of 'Give 'em the razor, sell 'em the blades', the exact same applies to printer inks (sell a loss making printer, gain revenues on the inks) and many video games consoles. I don't think there is anything wrong with that point of view...just don't buy them, but that doesn't mean it is not a 'deal'. This is a 'deal' because those that do buy them can now do so at a cheaper price

Overheads. Like paying celebrities millions to advertise them? There are cheaper alternatives. Those arguing that they are paying a premium for quality, Gillette razors are actually not the best quality for wetshaving. So my argument is that this product should never be considered a hot deal in the same way that branded printer ink can never be considered a hot deal, when there are cheaper alternatives of the same quality.

If the blades last forever then why did you buy 100 of them?

Switched a few years back myself. Not only do I no longer get irritation I save money too.

Thanks op picked up a couple of packs from Asda Aldridge today. Nothing on the shelves had to rummidge around in the items fallen off the racks

Saw these in Sainsbugs today. They wanted £22:00 for 6

this deal runs until april,tesco have them at 15.25 for a pack of 4.thats 3.81 per blade lol so 1.50 per blade is a hot deal.

£1.50 for a razer blade is a hot deal? You do know these cost only a few pence to make, right?

I think they only fit the fusion handles

Do these fit on any Gillette razor handle?

​I use an edwin jagger handle and astra superior blades. the handle is a bit of an outlay but you can try cheaper ones. the blades will last forever. I bought a pack of 100 and they have lasted for over 2 years (not joking) and changing blades every 3/4 shaves. you get much less irritation because there are fewer blades pulling on your hair and your blade is sharper because you change them more often.

I use normal shaving gel and a brush. Best shave ever and that is coming from someone who used to suffer from very severe razor burn......

The cheapest way to avail of these Gillette products is to open the packet and have a shave in-store. Then wipe the razor on your jeans, and place back in the packet.
Gillette still make money when said razor is bought by someone else, and you end up cleanly shaved whilst saving money on expensive grooming products. Allowing you to invest in a 10 pac of Bic razors for twenty pence.

Thanks for posting, didn't see last week's!
Good deal as these are stupidly expensive when at full price!
HEAT!!:laughing:

I continue raising this point that even though it was posted last week, I didn't know as I'm sure others didn't and by you posting again gives me the heads up. Thanks OP

Jeez I wish I had the time to see every post as it comes through.

come brothers throw off the yockle of the Gillette oppressors, join the double edge revolution. less than 10p a blade and a much less irritating shave!

Stupid prices is why I grew a beard. Not a stupid hipster one but a proper 'man beard'

Also in Asda great bridge. They have the cool one as well for £6. Running out quick though.
