    Well, i've tried 3 Boots Stores and each one say's they have never heard of such an offer? They do operate the 3 for 2 on certain one's though? The manageress told me that not all stores participate in every offer as each store have their own offers??

    tried lincoln and boston boots. razors all sold out but loads of refills but who wants them when you dont have a razor.have a think gillette should you have sold more razors and benefited from selling more refills later

    What are refils?? Do you mean blades? And its Boots doing the offers, not Gillette? Dont understand your post :confused:

    Its not really a money saving razor, its just an old gift set that has been reduced from £15 to £3.75. Doubt any stores will get any deliveries of them as they are old stock, so whatever is out there on the shelfs is all they will have. Could be your store sold out of them a long time ago!
    And I wouldnt say London have priority, I think its just pot luck if a store you go into has any left :confused:

    Will you still be able to get the refill blades?

    Yes you can I saw them when I got mine.
    The razors are still being sold on their own as well (at full price),its just that these reduced gift sets are 'old' design packaging and the 'new' design packaging are now out.
    So if you see any grab yourself a bargain! :D
  • Got last two in my store this morning, shelf was stickered at the 3.75 and it was as if no one knew about them, even the cashier said wow that's a good price. Will make two good stocking fillers for someone this christmas anyway.

    wow got 3 lots in derby today shelf had the price of 24.95 each for the champions elite set. went through at £3.75 each and the Xmas gift 3 for 2 kicked in as well. total normally for 3 is £75 but i paid only £7.50
    none left in all derby stores now because i visited them all and bought 3 in each one. what was left i told others shoppers in the store about them and they soon went. lol
    so keep a eye out for the boxed packs.

    Managed to get loads more of the FCUK body sprays, washes etc...... Also got some KOS antibacterial balm (100 shaves out of it and its minute!!) for 74p and 342. But sadly no gilette sets left and no more Boss Skin Sets, but im happy with the 3 different sets I got, for the too many BIL'S and Nephews I got!
