    Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor and 8 baldes promo packs are available in pharmacies at the moment for €25.

    If there is a Doc Morris pharmacy near you, there is a voucher in their in store catalogue for €5 off when spending €15 or more, which gets you the pack for €20.

    That's an €18.76 saving & was cheaper than buying new blades for the old Fusion Power.

    how good are these?
    could they be that much better than fusions or mach threes?

    the kind of money these guys make off these is crazy

    I certainly will

    got a load of mach 3s recently which worked out at 1euro a pop compared
    to these at 3euro a go with a razor
    A total rip off to be fair
    anyone who would pay the recommended 38 for these needs their
    head tested
    if only i could find blades elsewhere as good as any gillette

    There are 2 different packs at the same price €25.

    The Fusion Proglide power has 8 blades in the pack and the Fusion Proglide (no power) had 10 blades.

    Yeah, that was a great touch. Bought 4 x 8 packs from that guy. Bloody great deal. Only problem is ive just broken the seal on the last 4 pack :o I'll be suicidal if I have to go back to paying full price again. If it happens, i'll switch to King of Shaves. A worthy substitute IMO at a much lower cost.

    I use a bic shaver - not the disposable ones though, a small step up.

    Less than a tenner for the razor and about 6 blades. Found this a better shave than any gillette or king of shaves razor I have used in the past too.

    heatons are selling those bic razor and blades pack for 3 euro last week. didnt buy any as I was wondering about the quality of em. Would second the advice on the proglide... I got a pack of em as a christmas present and in my opinion they are a vastly overpriced razor that doesnt last half as long as the mach3 blades.

    sensor excel man here, about €6 for five blades. the weight in the handle, imho, gives it the edge over the mach 3. find myself scraping the face off myself with a mach 3 cos there is no weight there....

    not really much of a bargain alert to be honest

    good to hear.... i doubt each blade will last 150 shaves as they advertise but the product definately pays for itself

    If anyone wants a real shaving bargain, and a far superior shave, check out the Facial Hair & Hats forum and look at the information on DE Safety razors. Much much cheaper blades and a much better shave than any of the razors listed here.

    No, they really do! I have a Shave Pit about 2 years, I had bought about 20 blades on eBay just before that, and I haven't bought any since. I normally change blades after about 2 months, just cause.

    But the thing to remember is, the blades don't get blunt, only dirty. They are titanium for God sake! So this keeps them clean, so they are always like new!
