    To make sure you qualify.

    Pick everyday for how many times you shave, and pick a brand other than wilkinson. I picked Dollar Shave.

    The rest should be obvious.

    Fill in your normal address but add the Northern post code BT1 1AA, it'll be rerouted here for nothing.

    Always worth chancing for freebies and 90% of the time works.

    Sometimes that works ... based on this thread, id be a little less hopeful

    Ah, I understand now!

    To be fair I'm pretty sure there's some way they could be slapped with a GDPR fine over collecting marketing materials under false pretenses

    What's the shock absorbing technology for?in case there's a nuclear explosion while your shaving is it?

    Had first shave with it yesterday.... it's grand but still not as good as it probably should be. Assume the blades are pricey a bit like Gillettes? or are they cheaper. I've had a go with Lidl's shark and it's prob as good as the Wilkinson Sword.

    why bother using parcel motel for this?

    €3.95 just doesn't seem worth it IMO

    Because I didn't know about the postcode trick (which may or may not have worked for everyone, this is unclear) and it's cheaper than buying a razor outright by a fair stretch. Plus, why not? Bitta curiosity about something I would never have bought for less than the price of a fancy coffee.

    Just a pity it's absolutely **** (IMHO)

    Back to fusion ASAP. Miss the precision trimmer.

    Although it gives a good shave(maybe as it was the first shave) I'm so used to the Gilette Fusion it seems weird to shave without the vibration part and now seems alien to use a normal razor.
