in Shop but don't drop
Just been in my local Sainsbury's at Jacksons (which doesn't help everyone) and they are selling the Gillete razor + another 4 blades, so a total of 6 for just under £9. Just looked aat Superdrug and their price is £13.

Before I part with my hard earned cash can someone let me know if this is cheap as I don't buy razors that often.

    I do the same, but you have to be very careful as there are a lot of 'fake'/replica blades on ebay...

    I have come to the decision that the companies also put their worst blades in the new products.

    When Mach 3 first came out, the blades were excellent. Nowadays mach 3 seem poor quality whereas the 4x and 5x vibrating ones are very close.

    Seems I will be forced to upgrade my blades!
