Razor Blade scam?

    This morning while I was having a Shower and shave, as one does in the morning, I went to place my nice new razor blade on my razor blade handle BUT...the blade didn't fit on the handle....WRONG CONNECTION!! This has happened before, the last time it happened I accepted it and brought another razor handle to fit the Blades, so now I have two razor handles therefore if I accidently buy the wrong blades I have a backup Handle, right?
    Well if life was only that simple. The thing is it's impossible to know what Blades you're buying cause one can't see the connection at the back to see if your razor handle will fit it, because of the packaging! I think there's a pretty blatent rip-off consumer thing happening under our noses? It costs £10 for a razor blade handle and about £5 for a pack of 5 blades. It's not really the money that I'm angry about, it's the inconvience of it all. If I go and try to exchange the blades sometime, I know the shop assistent will say "sorry sir, but you opened the packet, and therefore we can't exchange it, have a nice day". Is this marketing deceit on behalf of the razor manufacturer? Anyone had a similar experience?

    FU.CK GILLETTE!

    buy a shaver.

    or remember what the handle was called "eg. Mach3 or Sensor"

    I shouldn't have to do that. If I had to do that with every product on the market then I'd have to carry around my laptop and query a Database!

    Jesus it's not that complicated just buy a damn razor and remember what type it is!

    Sometimes it makes me wonder how some people get through everyday life!
