Default Gillette Fusion Razor and 6 Blades £7.49!! From Wilkinsons
Was in my local Wilkinsons earlier, there were two display units featuring a pack with the Razor (the manual version, not the battery operated version) and 6 blades for £7.74, the advertising around the unit says this is half price.

I bought 4 blades for the same price last week so this seems like a really good offer.

The same pack is on offer in Sainsbury's for 7.72, their website says the deal ends 19th August.

Even at this price they are way overpriced.

Just because the advert says it is the best don't necessarily believe it. You don't need 5 razor blades (in one) it's just a marketting gimmick.


If you don't know how to use an apostrophe, don't use one.

If water had a memory, just think of all the animal and human waste it would remember.

Hello, you obviously have something to do with King of Shaves, think your post is slightly spammy.

Still if you do have a new razor, how about a free sample? This is money saving after all

I am a moneysaver by trade, but this is one thing I do treat myself to, its the only razor that I can use that doesn't leave me with 5 oclock shadow at 12 noon!

Ditto!

And King of Shaves are often outrageously overpriced for what they are.

Back to the original offer, this is really tempting but I'd advise people to spend the extra and go for the Fusion Power razor, which really is worth the money. I've got sensitive skin, and it's one of the gentlest razors I've used in 20 years of shaving.

Out of interest, can anyone mention a relevant thread where this is discussed?

Tried those "fakes" once, didn't realise they were, knew about it about 30 minutes after me shave though......

BTW, Wilkinsons offer is actually £7.74, soprry for misleading you

I have had bad experiences with eBay sellers too so I need to find an actual good value online 'reputable' shop...

I have, and the seller was banned soon after. I've still used them though, not nearly as good, but I bought 2 packs!
