Said it before and I'll say it again...... look into DE shaving

Is this instore?

and online from Wednesday (9th)

Wednesday is the 8th

Ugh I just bought 3 for £21.18, using their 3 for 2 offer.

For years I have used fusion and fed up with rip off price for the blades after reading reviews online I bought wilkinson sword extreme 3 sensitive comfort disposable razors I've made one last now 2 months very smooth shave as good as fusion and so cheap !

I found fusion to really irritate my skin. Love the provide but try and stay away from standard fusion. Generally use Mach 3 or Hydro 5 :-)

Great find i can feel a father's day prezzie being ordered <3

I brought these last time , they don't perform like they used to.

More nicks and not as clean a shave ?

Good value. Thanks for posting. Will grab a basket full.

After every use run them backwards up your arm (or an old pair of jeans) to give them a clean. They (fusion) tend to last a couple of months for me now (although I don't shave daily).

Ofcourse if your getting on well with the cheaper blades even better :smiley:

So it is 9th or is it Wednesday (8th) ?

Lovely, nearly at a sensible price...

Thanks OP!

I always grumble at paying for these expensive blades, and knowing they cost under a penny a blade to produce makes me fee really ripped off. After trying some wilkinson sword disposable 3 blade, then shortly after looking like I just started in a slasher movie I'll just take the hit on the extra. I'm just pleased I didn't go full on for a gentleman's shave off the batt. Some things are worth paying for.

I also switched to Wilkinson due to Gillette's rip off prices, no regrets!!!

sorry It's 15th till 21st I wrote the wrong week in post. now edited.

​sorry I wrote the wrong date 15th til 21st x

next wednesday - HUKD posters descend upon superdrug stores nationwide.

Said it before and I'll say it again...... look into DE shaving

This isn't as good value as they had the other day for the 6 pack Proshield blades £1.16 per blade, these standard Fusion blades are 1.25 each and nowhere near as good.

I've been using the same Proshield blade for 9 weeks now, after using i shake off any water then submerge it in mineral oil, I know it's sharp enough for another week or possibly 2 weeks, who knows how long it will last.

I never found these original Fusion blades that great, they dull super fast, I'm super impressed with the Proshild blades, I bought some when Asda had a deal for the 4 packs.

Also I've been through all the double edged shaving, I would still be doing it that way if I had to pay RRP (recommended retail price) for these blades, I've bought enough Proshield blades to do a few years at this rate haha, I'll go back to using my Merker Futur with feather blades when there is no more Proshield blades on offer, either that or when I've too much growth and need the versatility of the Futur with it's variable opening to allow longer hair to be cut.

Always found that Mach 3 blades last longer than these, and ive used both enough to come to that conclusion.

I agree Wilkinson Hydro are better + cheaper

Last world cup, i got "joe hart" special edition 4 blades. £4.00 after england went out. dunno if they will do something like it this time.

of course if Joe is the hero in a shoot out against the germans in final, they might charge more, lol. :smile:

Razorpit

One fusion blase now lasts me a year. I have done so for 3 years now.

Good advice, I'm going to give this a try

i found it to be completely opposite. my experience with the proshield was they were almost blunt before i even used them!! needless to say they were a crap shave

After each use microwave for 35 seconds....I have been using mine now for 14 weeks..still going!

...eh? Metal in microwave?

Must be some serious Bum fluff you got going on there! lol

Ive got a razor pit and although i get nowhere near a year out of one fusion, i do get 2-3 weeks longer (Shaving every other day)


I dont think he thought that one through properly.

I prefer the proglide coated ones. Saying that these fusion blades imo are the only blades that stop the ingrowns.

However, they are ridiculously expensive so I'll just join the designer stubble trenders and use clippers.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned safety razors yet.

They have !

See

I got sick of these prices too & converted to DE shaving at a fraction of the cost. An acquired taste I know but stick with it, take a little more time shaving & once you get over the initial difficult period it pays you back in spades.I get a closer shave than I ever did with this crap.

Perfect price!!! That's waht i need!!!:wink:

just ordered! if it's half as good as it says, it will be worth it! thanks for the heads up!

I ordered one also just out of curiosity, I've a proshield blade with 9 weeks use on it, I'm going to see how it performs after using the Razorpit and will reply here to give my opinion on it.

Nothing comes even close to DE shaving. 10-pack of Feather razor blades = 40 to 50 shaves for £3.95.

People are suggesting in the reviews its just made of silicon? Is this true because I'll just get a cheap piece of silicon bakeware to use instead?

I would agree!
Much cheaper blades.

Razor, case with mirror and 5 blades for £0.99p delivered.

Even better just buy an open blade cut throat razor - German Bavarian steel is the best £30-40 but you can get a cheapo from USA for £7.

As I've said wilkinson sword extreme 3 comfort sensitive 4 in a pack got them half price at tesco £2 got 4 packs 16 razors for £8 one razor has so far lasted 2 months shave every other day and the lube strip hasn't faded at all !

Sceptical as I was about 5 blade razors, I purchased Aldi's own brand.

They are an excellent product.

I can't remember the price offhand, but I think it is about £4 for the razor with one blade, and then a similar price for 4 replacement blades.

Each blade easily lasts a month. I tend to shave every second day.

As for double edge shaving .....

I have an Edwin Jagger £22 razor, a £26 badger brush, and a big selection of de blades..... they do not shave as well as my Aldi items.

So DE shaving isn't all it's cracked up to be then ?

Is this available online today or next Wednesday?

See them for over £9 online at the moment?

isnt yet??

​next Wednesday they're instore and online.

​it isn't on yet that's why.

​I was selling shaving products for a while. Honestly, no, I don't think so.

Aldi 5 blade razor, and I always use a quality shaving gel, not foam. Gel is much slicker!

Finish off with a nice spray of Creed ;-)

Think it is, some people use Denim to the same effect.

​I tried to go cheap and got some disposable ones by Bic. I became the slasher. Never doing that again.

Get wilkinson sword extreme sensitive 3 in green packet yes disposable but one lasts months read reviews Amazon etc

I got tonnes of blades if anyone wants to buy them, stocked up from my local Tesco before it closed.

Ye, I will have some!!

Forgot to ask...how good is this thing? Half tempted and I'd get it before I have chance to get there haha

Now live

ordered thanks

Stock level seem good in store, bought lots and they still had more

just seen one of mine says fusion 'power' what's the difference?

Ordered first thing this morning. Thanks

​they both fit. the power ones should be alot more as they're for the battery powered razor.
