    Gillette replacement razor blades are the most 'shoplifted' items in Tesco - not surprising given the cost! They now put them in plastic boxes with security tags.
    Perhaps we should be rubbing IMMAC into our faces instead.

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    £15 for 8 sodding blades. I only get about 3 or 4 shaves out of a blade as it is! I tell you what, these women have got it easy and cheap! :rolleyes:

    In the DFW ladies thread someone gave an excellent tip about buying packs of blades from ebay. I've checked it out and she speaks the truth - mucho cheaper!

    For some reason I've always been a sucker for new Gillette razor's, I was in Sainsbury's the other day, saw the Fusion with 50p off so thought yup, I'll have that until I saw it was - no joke - £19.99 for 8 blades!!!!!!!!!! Obscene!!!!! How much do us fella's spend in a lifetime on blades?? Scary thought

    Excatly! And we only do it for the female of the species and what thanks do we get? :rolleyes:

    If we didn't shave there would be a stubble rash epidemic! :D

    Nice to see you are fighting the male cause!
    i didn't realise there was any cause to be fought - just trying to get to the truth of the matter and level the playing field. there are just so many claims on mse saying one sex suffers more or is better than another. when the poster is asked for evidence they usually can't provide it! and even with shaving it depends on the individual- some people don't shave at all or very little or only certain parts etc etc

    I've bought them before but the problem is if you don't get the real mccoy you end up needing blood transfusions! :rolleyes:

    Is that your opinion or that of an un-named organisation? ;):p
