Cheap razor blades

Does anyone know a good place to buy (genuine!) replacement razor blades, specifically of the Gillette Mach 3 variety. The last time I ordered online I used https://www.razorsuk.com, but the site appears to have been closed down. I've been digging around on t'internet for the last hour or so and the best deal I can find is on a site called https://www.Gillette-Replacement-Blades.com. They are charging £13.50 for 16 blades. Has anyone used them before?

    Get yourself a double edged safety razor, a shaving brush, and some real shaving cream (the Body Shop do some nice stuff).

    Asda have the blades for £2 something for 10 (remember, they're double sided). They will last weeks and weeks, as will even a small tub or tube of proper shaving cream. I probably spend about £20 a year on shaving stuff; there's no way I'd go back to spending a fortune to get crappy shaves.

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I guess everyone's face is different. I've tried lots of different ways to shave over the years, both wet and dry, and (unfortunately!) Mach 3 seem to suit me the best.

    I wouldnt use gillette-replacement-blades, they just supply fake copies which are very poor quality.

    I agree, I have also been silly enough to spend money on blades from this site, gillette-replacement-blades.com the email address does not recieve mail, don't waist your money they should be reported to Gillette.

  • Also agree as I've been ripped off. I've reported the company to Cardiff Trading Standards and am awaiting a reply. Please avoid and publicise this.
  • Yes, I also got ripped off by the above mentioned co about 2 years ago. Their blades were awful. Any idea what has happened to this company?
