Where Can I get Mach 3 blades cheap?

There seems to be a cartel in the price fixing of Gillette Mach 3 blades. Has anyone seen them advertised cheaply?

    There was a programme last week which said they were the most common shoplifted item.

    I would guess your local pub is probably the cheapest place.

    E-bay. Been buying my Gillette razor blades on there for over a year now. Much cheaper than in the shops. Just compare the prices of the buy it now items.

    Also get electric toothbrush heads on there now. Just got 4 Oral-B Braun ones for £6 delivered. Would have cost me £14 in Tesco.

    eBay or the local pub: it boils down to the same thing. They're nicked.

    in wilkos last week they had a special promo pack which contained 4 x 4 pkts for 9.95 which i thought was dead cheap.

    i didnt buy any as hubbie is still using up a multi pack that we picked up from costco which worked out quite cheap but i cant remember how cheap

    Another vote for the 'cheap blades are almost certainly nicked' camp. Personally I got fed up with paying nearly a quid a blade for Mach3s and bought a pack containing a razor and 20 twin blades for £1.49 from Lidl. It shaves fine, and I could afford to replace the blades approximately 10 times as often as a Mach 3; it also means that when my wife nicks it to do her legs and armpits I'm far less annoyed;).

    Well I for one one would love to know where to get cheaper blades from, two sons and husband it gets expensive and the Mach 3 so they say are their favourite. Any one that can let me know of a blade and razor like mach 3 and a lot cheaper is greatfully appreciated.

    I might try the lidl ones Aldi and Lidl do some good things Thanks
  • As I'm currently on an economy drive...I'm using the cheapie blades myself, but the Mach3 blades are FAR better. The difference in the shaves is huge. Almost considering going back, even if I can't find any cheap ones :D
  • Be careful about eBay bought some for a friend and he's dubious about the quality, cust himself too easily, thinks their either fake or seconds.
    2p off is still 2p off!

    Costco has cheaper razor blades in them, but can't remember whether they do Mach 3 or not. They do do some Gilette blades as my husband has them.
