I can easily see why people buy them on ebay, must be a huge demand because the price of branded blades in the shops is hugely expensive. It’s not called ‘The Gillette Business Model’ for nothing

I have just seen some fusion razors listed on ebay where the seller says there is a spelling error on the packaging. It says ‘lasts uptpo 6 months’ rather than ‘lasts up to 6 months’. Sounds suspicious to me.

Oh right, I think I am on the trail now.
I bought some Gillette Fusion Power Blades at quite a saving, when I used them they really hurt my face it was like i was dry shaving, like plucking each hair from my face.

I thought damn, I don’t get on with this razor, i’m going back to my old Mach3 Turbo which never struck me as hurting as bad as this.

So I used that one again, with an original blade which was a bit old but still worked, and it felt like heaven compared to the pain of that fusion power experience.

Then I ran out of blades, so like an idiot I bought more Mach3 Turbo Blades on eBay last week, was glad when i got them, I have just had a shave and f*ck me the same pain, i literally was grunting in pain especially round the chin area but i still needed to shave cos i was a bit unshaven so carried on.

I can’t beleive these a-holes are selling fake blades, if I had known, I would have just paid full price in the bloody shops.

It seems I can save on the real blades from what this and other blog articles say, so maybe it’s worth me reading up a little more on where to get real ones for, for a bit cheaper than the shops.

Thanks!

Apparently some huge proportion of razor blades are actually stolen…

Sounds painful. Any pictures?
