Boots Gillette Fusion Proglide

Picked up a blister pack, 1 Razor and 9 Blades for £6.25, at lunchtime today. Bargain.

(Pack says Worth £35.46 now £25.00 save £10.46)

Also Razor and 6 blade pack available for £5.00.

Unbelievably next to a current promotion for Half Price offers.

    Thanks. Anyone else find these blades worse than disposables though? There is really no need for 5 blades it's pure marketing over everything else. You still get "tug and pull" with the proglide ones (I do anyway) and imo it's because there's too many sodding blades.

    That is a bargain.
    even a pack of 4 cheaper blades would cost more than £6.25 (mach 3 etc..)

    shame its not that cheap on their website =(

    Were these priced at this on the shelf or was it luck and you were buying them anyway.
    In need of some new blades.

    Hi, there was a four level cardboard display unit with prices of £6.25 and £5.00.

    Just to the right of this was the current in-store half-price offers on Gillette.

    Was a bit of a no-brainer really, buy a half-price razor(+1 blade) for £4.99 or the blister pack (a razor + 10 blades) for £6.25.

    Going back at lunchtime today to see how many are left.

    The display unit was marked up with White Clearance SELs at £6.25 and £5.00.

    There was a good supply yesterday of both 6 and 9 packs, but at 15:30 (late lunch) today down to just 4 of the 9 blade packs.

    Probably going to be a localised offer (sorry), but worth a try if you see any of the blue displays in your local Boots.

    Store in question is Bromsgrove, a fairly small store.
