Gillette Fusion Proglide - €6.92

Soarer

In Super Valu Glanmire.

It's the razor plus one cartridge. Olympic and normal version.
They also have the "power" version for a euro or two more.

The replacement cartridges are still ridiculously expensive @ €15.59 for 4!

You can get the replacement cartridges from a range of sites much cheaper. Plus I can highly recommend the 'razorpit' which extends the life of cartridges enormously (they claim up to 150 times). I cannot standover 150 yet but the current cartridge I am using is the same one I was using when I got the razorpit so it really does work. You can get the razorpit on Amazon.

11 fusion blades plus handle for €25 in dunnes. The razor put does help, but if youre having a shave with the same blade for the 150th time, it aint gonna be gliding across your skin.

Is that site safe?
I'm sorry- with all the spelling mistakes on it, and a claim to have somehow patented friction technology- it seems like something out of someone's imagination.

A pair of old denim jeans is just as good as the razor pit

Princess Petuila Pissy Pants and kn thanks for providing the links, appreciated.

Bidiots no offence intended but is that meant to be a sarcastic reply? Genuine question as I'm a bit green on these things. How does a pair of old jeans keep your blades sharp?...assuming your response isin't a sarcastic one

The fibers in the jeans act to sharpen and clean the blades

Really, never knew that! I learn something new every day. Thanks

Jusy rub the denim off the balde for a min or 2?

Cut the leg off an old pair of denim's, run the blade along a few times and you will see that it clears the blades of clogged stubble. this is essentially what the razorpit does....

I have a very heavy beard with the hairs growing in lots of different directions. I only shave once every 3 days

I use the jeans method. I get about 15 shaves out of a blade. Without the jeans method I get about 5-6 shaves out of a blade

Will the razorpit make a significant improvement to the number of shaves I can get out of a blade compared to the jeans method?

Should do. I have been using the same cartridge for months now. But then again I do not have a beard and my hair does not seem to grow that fast so once every circa 2-3 days does me. As a guide I would have been finding Mach 3 blades dulling on me after 6-8 uses whereas with the razorpit it has been going for months now (i.e. circa maybe 40+ shaves and still going strong).

Thanks kn

I had ordered the yoke from Amazon already. I'll let you all know how I'll get on with it!

Run it which way, along the length of the blade or top to bottom?
