I'm sick of paying about £4 for 4 blades that don't even last very long. How can gillette get away with charging so much!?

If you are sick of paying for them, then don't buy them any more. The average time a blade should last is 7 days I read somewhere.
Gillettte get away with charging that much, because people continue to pay for them. Also I guess they charge that much to recoup some of the costs involved in the development and research of the blades.

Mach 3 works wonders on my face.
Other blades cut my up like I put my face in a shredder.
If you don't have sensitive skin, go back to using the cheap blades. My cousin uses those Bic razors and barely gets cuts.
I guess some guys got tougher skin than others.

I only pay trade price (plus 11% discount) for these since we sell them in our pharmacy.
However, I recommend them over others. I have hardly any cuts (when I prepare my face in advance). Also I just use a shaving brush and running warm water to clear the blades. A typical blade can last me a month.

I buy Wilkinson Quarto Titanium even more pricey! However for a man brought up on Pal and Gillette original individual blades, these are a pleasure to use, much kinder on your skin and it is virtually impossible to cut yourself.I think they are worth every penny!

Kinda funny because a single shaver can last me for months...just rinse it out.
