    Thanks OP. I already have this razor and recommend it. I hope I spot some more offers for the blades soon!

    A fella in a boozer round our way does the Fusion blades for £3 a pack. Beat that!

    Mind you, I POINT BLANK REFUSE to buy any from him.....I've got a Mach3 and they won't fit the handle.

    There are lots of fakes around (esp. on eBay and in markets) - for the same reason that according to the thisismoney article they are the most shoplifted product - because [STRIKE]they're worth[/STRIKE] they sell for a lot of money!

    I picked up 6 packs of 8 blades plus a fusion gel for £15 each... but with 3 for 2 at Boots a few weeks back, so the blades work out at about £1 each. Now I just need to get one of these handles+1 blade to try the fusion - if it's no good, the blades'll be going back!

    Lots of mixed reviews on the likes of Amazon - where people say the fusion gets clogged up more easily and doesn't give any significant improvement over the Mach 3 which I use now. Let's see... will pop over to Asda later! :)

    I have quite a strong growth, sometimes have to shave twice a day and the fusion is the best shave I've had...go for the manual rather than the power which is no better shave, just gimmicky.....i have never paid full price for the blades. I always buy when on offer with gel or part of value packs etc but at £2 a pop there is no better time to try them!

    Does anyone kow if any other blades fit a Gillette Mach 3 Power (it is a good shave but very expensive)? :confused:

    If not I may try the King of Shaves one as they are half the price. Thanks.

    If buying Fusion, note that at current half price offers, it's cheaper to buy 2 packs of razors + 2 blades, than it is to buy a 4 pack of blades. There are currently no such offers on packs of blades.
