      taken from the other thread, just in case someone dosnt wana read through it. to quote foobar

      Aldi and Coles ones are $1.50 each, yours are $3.33 each. Seems to me your blade is actually 222% the price of the Coles one despite the ridiculous claim above.

      Hi Nosdan,

      Thanks for your post. We had about 100 people sign up from ozbargain last time and only about 20% cancelled.

      Email us at [email protected] and I can send you a free trial of our supreme razor. We use different razor blades to the supermarkets which are of a higher quality.

      We'll get it to you express post so you can tell the forum what you think of the quality. Of course you don't have to, but to be fair it would be great for you to try them out.

      Sincere regards,

      Hi we just got this email from one of our subscribers:

      Hi Bruce,

      I’ve got some of your blades and they are good. Those twats on Ozbargain are just that.

      I don’t have a login for Ozbargain (although I go on there every day) so can’t reply to the thread.

      Firstly, well done for clearly keeping your cool, there would have been a few f words from me by now!!
      Secondly (and you can post this there if you want), your blades are excellent. I have always used Gillette Sensor or Sensor excel (so two blade you’re your cheapest option) which I find are also very good but I like your concept. Aussie company with well made blades delivered to my door. What more could I want? I always hate having to buy razor blades at the supermarket because they cost too much. Your blades are comparable to what I have used before and I will continue to use your blades.

      One thing that could be improved is the actual handle/holder of the blades. It feels cheap and a little clunky but other than that I am very happy.

      I follow you on Twitter – Bondi Lion – and have said similar on there about your blades.

      Good onya and good luck with your business.

      Cheers.
      Chris

          apparently obtaining an Ozbargain login takes 6-8 weeks, requires a 100 point ID check, personal references from at least 3 sources (who aren't related), and an Ozbargain test.

          I gave up on getting an Ozbargain login after my 3rd application was refused due to a criminal conviction (parking fine in 1998).

      Hello Expon,

      Thanks for your feedback. Foreign companies also frustrate us! We have five people working here in Australia and it is an Australian owned company. We have just introduced new metal processing for our blades to make them better.

      You're welcome to email me on [email protected] and visit our offices in Melbourne. If I'm not around Kelly will be able to show you around.

      We'll even throw in some free razor blades for you to try them out!

        We sell a fair few razors and have five staff employed in Australia. There are a lot of manufacturers for razor steel in the world and we recently changed to what we think is the best quality blade out there.

        We're looking forward to your review!

      Thanks Dvsbastard,

      Thanks for your fair feedback. I agree, not all people are able to benefit from our offering.

      We find that the majority of our customers work remotely or are shift workers. We have a high quality steel that is the same as the brand names so the blades are cheap ( not coles quality!) but also have free postage so it is convenient if you don't have time to purchase blades.

      Thanks,

        But that is what I don't get….

        -Blades are not perishable so nothing is stopping you buying up front in bulk and they don't exactly take up lots of room
        -They are not time sensitive so it doesn't matter when you buy them they are always going to be identical, it is not like they are periodically updated
        -It offers no convenience benefit, unless you (or someone) starts offering a subscription for deodorant, toilet paper, shaving cream, toothpaste etc
        -And I don't know about others, but I don't go through blades at a consistent rate either (some months I might get more mileage out of my blades than others).

        It might be a compelling idea for some people, but I personally just don't see the point.

    brand name quality razors

    Ah! clever deception there. They are really no-name, but you can claim you meant they are the same quality, without having to qualify or quanitify that, so nobody can prove you are a lying sack of fertiliser.

    appearance on A Current Affair and Today Tonight

    Seriously, its that bad you have to advertise on those dodgy shows? Perhaps their audience is the only people gullible enough for you?

    A bulk-pack of actual brand-name twin-blades costs under $10 from the supermarket and lasts me a year. (OK, I'm not that hairy.)

    the only exposure to Australia the OP has had was monty python and google translate.

    Very fake. I can almost hear him pronounce Aussie as "ossy" :-)

    With five Australian based employees paying Australian tax and GST.

    Then why is your address that of your accountant? Is he one of the five?
    Its OK to run a drop-ship from your garage, and put your wife and kid on the books for tax purposes, but you don;t have to make it sound like the Worldwide Business Group.

      Hi Manic,

      Thanks for your feedback. Its a little unfair on the staff to say they don't work in Australia, we would love to host you at our offices email me at [email protected] and I'll arrange a time. They will be happy to meet you!

      We realise it is hard for you to comment on the blade quality as you haven't tried them. The quality of our metal and refining is better than the supermarket home brands. The razors don't have as many gimmicks but they are good quality. When you come to visit the offices I'll give you a sample to review.

      Waiting on your email!

      Then why is your address that of your accountant?

      A registered business address is required by law to be one that is attended during business hours. That's why when I was running a hobby import business from my garage, my registered address was my accountant's (father-in-law's) office on the other side of the state.

      I would reckon that a thriving cough business with a full-time staff of 5 might be able to keep an office open though.

      I reckon I get close to a month out of each blade in a 10-pack of the cheapest non-branded razors I can find. I can't imagine how anybody, even the hairiest mofo out there, could possibly spend $10/month on razors and think they're getting a good deal.

      Hello Baghern,

      The journalist that made that test has a very bad reputation. I think in one other story he was censured for desecrating a war hero's grave. He was let go recently too. The Gillette Blades also failed the test when compared to the supreme razor.

      Its up to you regarding what blades you want to use. We stand by our quality and you're welcome to come to our offices to check our testing facilities.

      • Crownanchor on 24/09/2013 - 08:04

        Hi Bruce,

        I thought it was the reps from Aussie Shave have a bad reputation, and dishonesty, but this is all news that its now the journalist.

        Wouldnt your testing of the blades be biased? An independent test is required. Biased tests are always going to favour your blades.

        Hard to believe a small company can produce a blade so good, when the Gillette company spends millions on research on blades, the Mach 3 was $750 million, and maybe there is some marketing in it the budget.

        There was also some info that counterfit products are a health hazzard, as short cuts are taken to reduce costs in manufacturing.

        Nice try but you dont fool the ozbargain community.

          Hello Crownanchor,

          No One who has made a negative comment has actually used the blades. Can please be a little more clear on how we are fooling the community?

          We use very high quality steel for the blades, the majority of Gillette's price is in marketing.

          I suggest you try our blades, sign up to www.aussieshave.com and we offer a money back guarantee. They will be delivered in a couple days and let us know?

          Bruce

          Your not able to save me anything, i use DE for a better shave and it only costs about 35 cents a month. Stop trying to have everyone try your blades.

          Your comments need a lot of interpretation, like how you keep saying that you use a new material. So you sell an inconsistent product, or did your original supplier not work out?

          You also say you sell brand name quality, but your previous product sucked and now its a good product as you use different material, so why didnt you get it right the first time?

    Just an FYI to all, I long expected blades were made of soft metal to make you replace them.

    As someone who has worked a lot with metal fabricating, it just didnt make sense that hair, no matter how tough, could blunt steel in less than, say, 100 uses.

    I was paying for 5 blade razors from all the big names, and they all seemed the same.

    One day I saw a new one; Coles brand 5 blade, and tried it.
    One blade, (which used to last me a week or two at most) lasts about 3 months or more.
    I had one blade for 6 months before I decided to switch it 'just because'.

    Coles 5 blades are the way to go, and it proved my theory right that 'the big guys' are using a softer steel compound to sell their $25 for 6 blade packs.

    also worth note, coles razor, and blades, are both less than 50% the cost of 'the big guys'

    EDIT: also, the blade was WAY smoother, and ive never cut myself with them.
    I'm in no way affiliated with Coles. I actually try to avoid big chains where possible; but hey, cant argue with price AND quality.

    • _Bruce_ on 20/09/2013 - 13:18

  • GregFiona on 20/09/2013 - 13:12

    Hi Rep, since you have admitted in your previous "deal" that you get the razors from China, why you insist saying that you are 100% aussie company and profits don't go overseas?

      Hi GregFiona,

      There are no razor manufacturers in Australia which is very frustrating for us too. We are a 100% owned Australian company and pay tax in Australia. Our competitors send all the customer service and profits offshore. That means that you send jobs offshore with them.

      We keep five people in Australia employed. We think that is a good thing. You're welcome to come and visit.

      Sincere regards,

      Bruce

        Hi Bruce, IMHO if you want to play smart you hand out 50-100 freebie razors here on ozb, let people try them and maybe like them! By posting "deals" full of BS I don't think it's the best strategy option for your business.
        If I told you that I have a "brand quality" no-name German car that comes out from the same Bmw-mercedes-Audi factories but is much better than them, would you buy it? cause this is what you are telling us in every deal you post…

        • Store RepAussie Shaver Man @ AussieShave.com on 20/09/2013 - 13:33

          Hi GregFiona,

          Not everybody is keen on giving up the branding of their products. Even if they offered the same mechanics and inertia of a BMW under a 'no name' brand people would pay more for the BMW. It depends on the customers preferences.

          We offer the same engine or blade quality without the 'badge' or the unnecessary trinkets.

          In reference to testing the blades, if you sign up you can easily get a refund. So we do offer the service you requested.

          Thanks again for commenting!

          As suggested, maybe another approach is better for ozbargain - maybe first month free. Sign up, get the first month free, and if you dont want to continue just cancel before the next month….?

        • Jorkus on 20/09/2013 - 20:39

          Yeah that's a free sample in this instance. If you get one month for free, you basically get a sample unit.

        it's not an attack, Bruce(i don't know if you are the rep or a different… Bruce). Just do a favor to yourself and check the comments in the previous deal. there is absolutely NO PROOF that these chinese razors are better than any other el-cheapo razors, that's all

        Nothing thus far is of any use to the community… No experiences of the product, nor the retailer, (please don't try and convince people that TT is independent journalism).
        Tis the ozbargain way these days, unfortunately. Good and mutually beneficial relationships with retailers are pretty much a thing of the past….

          Good capable rep, bad product.

          Using TT and ACA as boosters for the product, then attacking TT after TT shows the product is inferior.

          Can't have it both ways.

          Andy You ignore the fact that the rep is a salesmen, pushing the company dogma is what they do and he's done it well.

        • andy19363 on 20/09/2013 - 20:30

          Andy You ignore the fact that the rep is a salesmen,

          No…. he has a big 'rep' next to his name…. I know he is a salesman…. every rep who posts on here is.

          That doesn't necessarily mean that the company is bad…. this might be a great product…. might not be…. However, the mobbing that has occurred…. tells the community nothing about this service, and makes it less likely the rep will post again…. which may be a good thing, maybe a bad thing…. nobody knows because they have no experience with the product.
          People +ing the product without any experience is just as bad….. Again, it tells us nothing.

          This service may be the finest thing since sliced bread,….. or it may be a bag of crap… reading this page of vitriol leaves no one any the wiser, (aside from this and any other reps).
          We need reps to post, as they are the only ones able to influence pricing. Everyday users can only report on great specials….. Reps can create them….. Posts like this can, (often unjustifiably), cause heavy damage to businesses….. why would they take the risk, when a slow website, ill chosen word, price error etc can really hurt.
          There are businesses where the torch and pitchfork approach might be appropriate, (although businesses can/do change), but the majority do try and do the right thing and are met with unwarranted aggression.

          Here's a fact,

          The product is pushed using ACA and TT

          TT has then done a test and found the product wanting.

          The rep ignores this and slams TT integrity, despite the original post…

          I feel the vitrol here is valid, its a really bad product despite the salesmen, the people have smelt a rat and are boiling it.

          Any rep planning on trying to deceive the site will probably back off, I don't think there are many rep that posts products and push like the op has here.

          Very little information has been provided except what is probably a fact sheet the rep has.

          A product that is more expensive, but with a slight difference, "Avancer" received its critics, but the product really sells itself. The replies by the rep were did not feel shady but transparent.

    People are being incredibly harsh on this deal for no reason - they are offering 3rd month free which is a fair %% off. People saying the quality is no good - how do you know? Have you tried them? Why not take up the offer for 1 month, it'll cost you a whole $4. Maybe then you can bitch and moan if the quality is not up to standard - until that happens or you can prove this is not a good value deal, go home!

    • dvsbastard on 20/09/2013 - 14:24

      Well under this deal you get 9 "supreme" cartridges for $19.98 (unit price 2.22)
      Or you can get 12 of Aldi's "Prince Maximum 5" for $17.97 (unit price 1.50)

      So there are cheaper alternatives - but as you say the problem is that is very hard to compare directly because this deal is for an "own" brand of razor, so they could set any price and argue "but these are better". So far there is no reason to believe that there is a significant difference between the two.

          We are also waiting for you to respond about the free razor blade we want to send you for a test. That is probably the easiest way for you to give the people here constructive feedback.

    if you want your blade to last long buy the Razorpit(or any other no-brand, brand quality knock off that claims to be superior than the original). If you look after the razor before and after avery use it will last longer and give you better results. my fusion razor costed me $2.5 from a shaver shop deal 2 almost 2 years ago and it lasts 6-7 months, using it every 2 days. That's what I call a bargain, but that's just me….

  • theduncan on 20/09/2013 - 15:16

    Thanks for posting your barging.

    The only thing I can really find with this is it is a subscription, I shave at most once a week and most months I am lucky if I can be bothered to do it once. If you gave an option to buy the blades in packs as once off items you might have more luck.
