I really like mach 3 blades, that is until I have to buy them

[miri]

Just went to target yesterday and they were $18 something for 8 blades!?!? It seems like every time I buy these they go up in price. $2+ for a single blade is ridiculous so I ordered a 12 pack from Amazon for $19.33 which is still a lot.

It seems like buying them from unauthorized resellers is a crap shoot and you either get stolen or counterfeit ones. Anyone got suggestions on how to get these blades for cheap and legitimately?

Worse than Name brand printer ink.

I finally tried the Fusions because they are the same price as all the other expensive blades last time I was there. They really are better amazingly.

Someone needs to find the snl skit they did about this.

"The Platinum Mach 14 - the razor with 14 blades"

Wasnt that MAD TV?

I don't remember what I paid for mine last time, but $18 for 8 seems like it's really cheap. I think I paid something like $15-20 for 5.

Costco?

The last time I looked at them at Costco they were about $2 each, but of course, in a Costco-sized package of 500 or so...

I've used the Mach 3 since it came out in 97-98...and I agree, the sumbitches keep getting more and more expensive.

They did a copy of it but snl's was so much better.

Wait till you get to 5 blades.

I made the jump after I ran out of Mach 3 blades. The Fusion is better though. Worth the premium over the Mach 3. But overall blade prices are ridic.

I think it's your dollar that's becoming more and more worthless.

Okay here's a side question on the Fusion. It has a little green lotion strip (or something). Mine wears halfway (gets half as thin) and never wears beyond that... is that normal?

You are not pushing hard enough when shaving.

If you are not bleeding you are not doing it right.

Sometimes I do bleed

Dry off your blades with a towel after you shave, it extends the life of the blades immensely.

If you have a Kroger's grocery store around try their Mack 3 knock offs called Speed 3s. They are disposables but feel much better than your average disposables and shave really well. Most importantly they are really cheap.

I stopped using razors about a year ago. I just bought a beard and mustache trimmer and use it on it's closest setting once a week.

Shaving is such a pain in the ass.

Gillette has these 2 blade disposable razors that are really good for the value. They are navy blue with a sea foam green handle, but I don't know the model name.

 

[Ksyder]

These blades are real, but they only come in the plastic blade holder, no retail packaging. I know this because the guy is a friend of mine.

Those are so stolen it isn't even funny. There is a reason why it comes with original blade holders but no packaging.

well I'm sure thats possible, but I can tell you he is not stealing them

That may or not be the case.

Once boosters found out that many companies burn in location serial numbers inside and/or on packages of beauty items (razors are definitely included), they simply have been removing packaging all together. They don't want to be caught on any controlled buys. These are 100% stolen.

Don't think your friend is so innocent. Many ring leaders are cutting down on middlemen that will rat them out to rid themselves of charges. Quite simply, they do the theft themselves.
