Gillete Mach3 blades bargain

Hope I've posted this in the right place as not started thread before!
Just found a bargain for all you Gillette Mach 3 users. There's an Amazon seller who has packs of 4 @ £2.19. Postage is £2.99 but discounted if more than 1 pack ordered. I've just ordered 5 (20 blades) with postage @ £4.99, total cost, £14.95. Just hope it's not another of Amazons' non existent sellers!

    Whilst this may well be a good grabbit be aware that the seller, Marcandi Ltd, are the parent company of Madbid.

    Thanks Barnabee, didn't know that so, fingers crossed.

    Browntoad, 14.95 was the total for 20 blades including postage, so much, much cheaper than elsewhere. Unless you know to the contrary, in which case, please let us know.

    Marcandi has a 5 star feedback rating on Amazon so hope that's genuine.

    These branded razor blades cost pennies to produce and import. They are one of the most overpriced products that you can buy in rip-off UK, but if you think it is a bargain to be charged a smaller rip-off price, then go ahead.
    Also, if I was in Asia and looking for a low-tech product that could easily be counterfeited I would probably choose razors - and Ebay to market them.

    Cheapest blades under this link are £6.20 now!
    Have you looked into Razor Sharp or its equivalent rather than buy loads of new blades?
    Around £11 upwards, really does work and you don't need to throw your blade away anywhere near as much with this so it pays for itself really quickly, you use a small amount of you shaving cream on the rubber and push the blade forward over it a few times and then rinse and leave to dry.

    Cleans and maintains the blade and bring back that 'new blade feel'
    Removes residue of hair, skin and dry soap that makes the blade dull.
    Extends the life of all razor blades and will provide up to 150 shaves with one razor blade.
    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
