The annual "sign up for a free Gillette razor you won't receive" thread.

Offer is back on. Nobody will get a razor, but the thread's always lively!

Thank you for your service !!

It's £4.99 P&P for us. Still cheap for a razor and another good example to use a Revolut one-time virtual card to avoid the expensive subscriptions.

I was amused to find on the site that Gillette has invented a heated razor that you can pay a discounted £75 so that you don't actually have to run the razor under the hot water tap.

I ordered it using my Revolut and already it says dispatched and charged exactly 0 on my disposable card.

I’ll apply for another when the one they promised 5 years ago arrives.
I haven’t purchased any of their products since.
Just principle.

So it’s 5 years I’ve had this beard now

I clicked on a random Instagram ad for a free Gillette razor a couple months back. The form was only for UK but I completed it for the laugh and duly forgot all about it.
Fast forward a couple weeks and what arrived at the door, a free Gillette razor.

Good deal if it arrives but still can't forgive the male bashing advert they done

I applied for one of these for free last year and got it so they’re sending some of them out

If the razor gets blunt you'll get a lot of afterburn(er)

Can I ask please how you got it for free with Revolt? Thanks in advance!

Just went through the motions with a "disposable" revolut card. The total came to 4.99 p&p but got dispatched email and nothing charged.

Skuxx

Mine arrived this morning, nothing charged.
Looks nice to be fair, I can only imagine how much a set of blades will cost for it!

Is this signing up for a subscription service? Do I need to cancel my subscription once I sign up?

Don't be buying them, they're crap razors.

Rainislove

Got mine.. thanks

Mine has dispatched, do we need to cancel a subscription? I just presumed I'd be signed up to one but I see no option to cancel.

km991148

Yeah but where's the razor?

Only links to some plastic yoke :pac:

If you want a real bargain, grab a de handle and blades. Blades costs cents each. Don't need to go mad with all sorts of fancy soaps, handles and brushes. Your skin, pocket and even the environment will thank you in the long run.

Grab All Association

Women’s razors in Aldi are the best. They’re sharper and last longer than mens disposable razors.

I just used a one-off virtual card in Revolut.

It's very sneaky of them to suggest you pay a P&P charge but they don't actually apply it. But I'm sneakier.

No sign of mine, transaction canceled in revolut.
Is this the start of it now !

jhammer

Ordered mine via disposable revolut. Pending charge so maybe it will be cancelled .

Sounds like they have cottoned on

I paid by revolut. In the app there is a €0 charge which has reverted. And my razor arrived today.

Just received my razor. Thanks OP.

A what? is that a typo? what brand/type of razor are you referring to?

thenumber3

Arrived last week with no charge. Thanks!

tomasie

Arrived last month, and today got a charge on my revolut from Gillette ~€11 for the subscription... remember to cancel yours.

Shlippery

Delivered today,I was promised it wouldn't arrive

Thread title misleading. :pac:

Same here, this is for the razors subscription that you signed up for while getting the free set.

112143

From what I can see there is no way to cancel.

The least one should expect is a razor, or some blades even.
£10.19 in return for nothing wasn't a great bargain. :D

Click "My Account", then "subscriptions", there is an option to cancel there.
