    Excellent news. You will be able to kit the entire family out annually with white flags in case the balloon ever goes up.

      £200 gets you ~ 15 packs. At 4 blades a pack. This gives you 61 blades for the year.
      ok I live on the mainland I pay less than you, make it 400 quid a year saving.

      I use two blades a week

      Milan.

        Bloody purple hairs take ages to clean out. Will it work on my brand?

          I've had the Razorpit for a few years now.

          It's pretty crap. Not a good replacement for new blades.

            Get my blades from Pennymart, €1.20 for a pack of five. Stop spending money on labels.

              Dry your razor after shaving.

              And tell your wife to stop shaving her back with it.

                  I read somewhere that it's micro rust that dulls the blade so clean/dry it after using to get more life out of them.

                  I stopped paying the Gillette tax years ago and found the Tesco Triple Blade system just as good but about a quarter of the cost.

                  Seems Tesco have stopped making those and now have an 'advanced performance triple blade' system that is compatible with Gillette Mach 3 but at half the cost. New I should have stocked up a few years worth while they had the older cheaper ones.
                  Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                      Milan has convinced his wife it is 1970 so she does not shave any more.
