Wet shaving, wrong blades for razor handle

Did you get the wrong ones?
Have you ever needed to buy replacement razor blades and found that they don't fit the handle that you have? It's so frustrating that the Gillette Mach 3 and Sensor 3 packets look similar.

Razor blade companies have quite literally got us by the short and curly; with expensive replacement cartridges and incompatible fittings. It’s enough to make want to grow a beard.

| 05-3-2010 | if you don't shop when you are in a hurry you are not likely to make mistakes. Quite often today people blame their mistakes on everyone else. Firstly don't shop when you are in a hurry; large shops are open 24 hours a day, so surely there is time to shop at your leisure making mistakes le...more | dazzyd |

| 12-2-2010 | The original business model of King Gillette ( I kid you not ) was to sell the safety razor cheap and make a killing on the blades. He would be proud of the current management of his company. Printer manufacturers etc. are just copying his model. My advice - shave with a cut throat razor ! | bazwalk |
| 16-1-2010 | I agree totally with your comments about the blade scam. I suspect if excessive profit is proven then they should have there asses fined.
Similar to the Printer ink cartridge scam.
The best is the Flash floor cleaner scam, first sell it as a powder.Then add some water then sell it as a concentrat...more | normanfromayr |
| 09-12-2009 | I have gone back to traditional razor blades cheaper and better, paid strong money for the razor. you can 100 wilkinson sword blades for £10 ish, excellent | gatewayduffer |
| 09-12-2009 | Like others have said. Forget cartridge razors. Get a DE razor. Couple of quid for a pack of 10 and a much better shave. | TradRaze |

| 16-8-2009 | In line with some of the other contributorsI swapped to shaving with a double edge (DE) razor i.e. one like your Dad may have used that takes 'old fashioned' razor blades. These old blades fit numerous handles made by various manufacturers.... and guess what? I get a far superior shave and ...more | Worcester Shaver |
| 11-8-2009 | Razor blades prices are one of my pet hates. They are much too high for what you get and with each new razor model the handle and included blade is inexpensive to get you hooked and then the consumable blade is very expensive.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on that too. | Max |
| 02-8-2009 | Had the same problem in the past and its razor rage at 7am when you realise what you’ve done. Fed up with the confusion and the price of blades I have recently purchased a Boots own double edge razor that came with 5 blades. It reminded me of my father’s old razor and the shaving creams...more | Jeepster |
