    Of topic ,your picture is bugging me as it is taking an age to load each time. I'll look at my webcache but in my ignorance, it might non cachable or too high a resolution somewhere in the chain of things.
    I only have dialup so total bytes to download are a minior gripe on this excellent site that is the stronger for your perceptive contributions.

    I had this problem on dial up too and was given this advice, hope it helps

    As what I have written in reply 3 of this thread.
  • In reply to that tip to try blademail - great tip Cathy! :)

    RRP of an 8 pack is £11.79, blademail price is £7.99

    ...and if you select a repeating order (say, every 12 weeks) the delivery is free.

    Just ordered mine!

    ...just realised that I forgot to specify the free gift, though - d'oh!

  • Just looked on Blademail, and the Gillette Mach3 Turbo are £9.96, looked online at boots and they are 20p cheaper. I'm I missing something here?
  • Aldi and Lidl both do good razors (proper, manly, 'shaving system' type razors rather than disposible that is).

    My OH got his Mach 3 stolen on holiday in portugal and bought a replacement from Lidl which he has been very pleased with.

    I use an Aldi 'Edge 3' for my legs - the replacement blades are 1.49 for 4 and seem to last a good few goes. Certainly way cheaper than the special gillette girly razors and just as good.

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
