Gillette Fusion 20% off

mcaul

Super Value have the new Fusion razor with a 20% discount.

I'm not too fond of paying over the odds for razor blades but the new fusion model is rather cool.

Good bargain, however I find the blades are the worst I ever came across with a manual razor. I'm back with the Mach 3 now.

I agree, back to the Mach 3 myself, the new Fusion razor just doesn't cut as good as the Mach.

I've been meaning to try the Fusion so guess I'll be getting it in Super Value. Thanks mcaul

hmmm... I dunno, I like the fusion myself, and I think it cuts same as/better than the mach 3. But theres something about the fusion I dont like. I think the fact that using the fusion, which is so smooth, it feels like it aint working.

Least with the mach 3, I get just as close a shave, and I actually FEEL a little friction.

However, the new fusion shaving gel is very nice.

Once I run out of fusion, and sensor excel blades (dont ask), I shall invest in some new mach 3 blades, aint bought blades for it in ages!

I did a test with 2 new blades, mach3 turbo vs. fusion. Fusion won it quite impressively for me!

Still using the mach3 for the mo tho, as have about 16 new blades!

Off topic I know but I was wondering how much a packet of blades for the Fusion would cost.

I really do admire Gilette's marketing department.

I mean, they took something very ordinary; a thing which cuts the bristles off men's faces and made it "cool" and "desirable"
Any company who can put a picture of a ferrari on a tool like this and increase sales knows their market very well. Or, knows the intelligence of their market very well.

Anyone who falls for their patter is a moron.

guys was in the states recently and fusion blades are 1/3 of the price they are here

Damn it. I thought that if the fusion had 20% off then it would only have 4 blades.

On topic, I noticed a chemist selling Mach 3 blades yesterday for €4.99. Is this a good price?

Regarding the fusion, while I agree their marketing department works very well, the TV ad. says that all previous razors gave a rough/irritating cut. Are they seriously having a go at their own products?

I only use the newest Gilette Product - the Gillete Hexagonator Turbo Ultra, it has 6 revolving blades attached to a vibrating motor with an automated ear-hair trimming arm. Of course this will be outmoded by the Octaturbonutta Deluxe Super-Ultra which will have 8 rotating blades...... oh, you get the idea.

Somehow I think you either saw a wrong price or the the had made a mistake. I was there just over a week ago and the price seem to be $22.99 for 8 blades manual and $27.99 for 8 blades power.

Rite aid had an offer of $21.99 for 8 baldes manual & 24.99 for 8 baldes power.


Even the so called online discounters only seem to be a dollar or so off these prices. Then add in sales tax of about 8% and the prices seem to be slightly cheaper over here!

America is no longer the land of bargains it used to be - rarely do I come back with anything from my trips - even clothing such as Hilfiger shirts & dockers are within 10 / 15% of prices charged over here.

Depends on where you shop,Ross dress for less is great and Nordstroms Rack,but by god you have to root for the bargains.:)
