I really object to spend £15 on 8 blades from Boots.

Imagine how much women spend shaving our legs!

Use an electric razor.

Actually I do some of the time, but it's never as close. Beard wouldn't suit either.

I recall a programme on shoplifters last year. Apparantly 1 in 4 gillete razor boxes gets nicked! So if they're not fakes, they could well be supporting a drug habit.....

See the link for the seller - don't think even the most prolific shoplifter could manage that many.

yes they are fakes, my hubby bought some. Normally if a seller doesnt state 'genuine' or 'authentic' in the title then they are probably hiding something. The price might hint at dodgy blades, how would someone be able to offer 20 real blades for £4? Plus is the seller offering one pack at this price of many many auctions?

Also if you ask seller a question i.e. are these 100% authentic and they dont reply, again they are probably trying to hide something. There are some real ones on ebay though but many many fakes and they are hard to tell. If you have access to 2 ebay accounts (i.e. yours and a friends) you can normally catch out a dodgy seller. Basically send one obvious question from one account i.e. Do these come fully boxed? and another question from another account i.e. are these 100% authentic? And you only get one response for the first question then the seller is likely selling fakes which cost pennys.
