Gillette Fusion Power blades

opr

Since i have taken so much from this forum i just seen this in the paper and thought it was a good deal.

From 37.89 to 18.89 for a pack of eight blades.

Thats good value. Can you use them with the regular non-power Gillete Fusion razors?

Yes. The non-powered versions are about a Euro more expensive btw.

Check the chemistdirect.co.uk thread, if you're buying in bulk (to cover the fixed shipping cost) their prices are great

http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/gillette-fusion-razor-blades_1_1555.html
GBP 6.49 for a 4 pack

http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/gillette-fusion-razor-blades---8-pack_1_1554.html
GBP 12.99 for an 8 pack

They're non-power blades you've linked to there, so you're not comparing like with like.

Their power blades here are £18.99 before shipping!

I've never heard of any difference between the two in usage, just marketing in action.

Maybe but being honest i find a huge huge difference between the two.

Also as the other poster said it still looks like a great bargain when you actually compare like for like.

about time they had an offer on these
and charging 37.89 for 8 fusions was a
disgrace anyway.
This is almost on par with the price up
north now.
For the first time in a long time i'll be
purchasing a pack of these in tesco
rather than buying up north or online
About bloody time tesco....

great offer OP.
that price puts them on parwith up north too.

i paid 9stg for a pack of 4 last month.

So do I.

Thanks a lot, OP. I'm on my last blade and I came on to this forum today to specifically look for the Fusion Power blades.

Tip: these are €29.99 in Boots but they do a 3 for 2 a couple of times per year, so that would work out at €19.99 per pack

Thanks OP.!

For ebay users I jsut purchased 8 for €14 delivered:

im reluctant to buy anything like this off ebay

last time i did the seller had over 99% pos feedback
but all i got was fakes.
I don't think the seller even knew he was buying fakes
as he refunded me without any problems and withdrew
all his listings as a result
i did send them to proctor and gamble to get them tested
first tho

Yep.
According to Gilette the only difference between power blades and non-power-blades is the colour.

I have been down the road too of buying from e-bay and cut the face from me also.

I only buy my razors in the shops now
I used to get the mach 3 blades from dealextreme.com but they have gradully increased their price of them also

I've been buying blades on ebay for over 2 years and never had 1 problem - all defo the real deal. Will check these latest ones out when they arrive and let ye know..

Ah I reverted back to Gillette sensor blades. Bought a 10 pack in Sainsburys yesterday for just over £5....Not bad considering that online chemist is selling them for £7.99

Tesco Lucan is sold out too :rolleyes:

Did they have 10 packs of blades per store or something?
