Gillette razor blades

Options
It's time to buy some replacement blades for my Gillette fusion Proglide Power razor.
As you'll no doubt be aware they are very expensive.Ebay sellers have them but it's a gamble as to whether they are genuine or not.
For example
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GILLETTE-FUSION-PROGLIDE-POWER-RAZOR-BLADES-4-100-GENUINE-UK-STOCK-/272622426282?hash=item3f799018aa:g:arQAAOSwhQhY57TL

They sound too cheap to be genuine.

Has anyone got any recommendations where to buy the real things at the best prices ?

Cheers

    Sainsburys often give me a coupon for £2.70 off. But, although it was quite smooth, I found with multi blades that there easy get clogged up with debris. Bizarre as it may seem, I've found the cheap, Bic single blade disposable razors best!

    Lay you odds there's a gillete club giving you discounts - and yep here you go.
    See what their value packs mean in comparison with the supermarkets?

    Eldest recently switched to an old fashioned double edged razor as blades are just so much cheaper, but he was given a Shaving Lesson by his godfather & that improved his approach & technique hugely!
