I was shopping today, and as usual went to get my foam and Gillette Mach 3 blades.
As I was driving home I was cussing, as you do, at the extortionate cost of Gillette shaving blades. That got me to thinking that maybe I just didn't browse the shelves well enough.
I wonder if there are blades of similar quality and longevity as Gillette Mach blades, but that maybe half the price?
People who wet shave here, can you tell me if you have a secret blade I don't know about that is, indeed, half the cost as Gillette but of the same quality?
What do you use that you find gives a close shave, and satisfies your chin's day?

I paid 320 Baht for 4 blades.
Today's exchange makes that $10.69.
(Mach 3 is 3 blade too).
I will research to see if they are avilable in Th. I sure hope so. Thanks bud!
Just for info : http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/Mens_Toiletries/Gillette_Mach_3_Turbo_Blades_4.html
The UK price in the top 3 supermarkets is 7.79 UK pounds = $12.87
You just saved me 20 Baht, for a pack. But if the pack is 10, and not 4, you just saved me ... errrrm about 6 bucks a time!
Thanks bud,

Dry.
How about hunting down the old style 'Gillette Sensor'...the 3, 4 and even 5 blade systems are mere novelties, no more effective, and you're paying through the nose for them. The two blade Sensor is available very cheaply in the lower cost supermarkets, highest quality and literally half the price and more of Mach3 blades...funny how two blades served everyone so so well for over 60yrs, now all of a sudden they're viewed as 'a blade or two short of ideal'...a load of old marketing bollox if you ask me lol..

I had that done not so long ago in Durham. She did a good job, although I don't think it feels all that comfortable.
(Indeed, inside I am crapping myself too!) 😲
