Have been researching whether to get double edged safety razors or stick with Mach 3 Turbo recently and came across this price. Seems like a better offer than ebay or the likes of Woolies, Shavershop etc.

Works out to $1.92 per razor. Note: As a point of comparison they are on sale at woolies this week for $21.50 for 8 ($2.69 ea) so the BigW deal seems pretty decent.

Also works with coupon code for $10 off $100 spend: HNY18 as posted here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/352352 now in-store only

    Fusion (5 blades) also available for $2.27/cartridge. Cheap! These are usually around $4 each.

      $2.27 is excellent. I usually buy 12 for the year from Amazon - worked out to $2.85 each incl. delivery.

      • virhlpool on 06/02/2018 - 23:16

        Amazon Australia is a very recent option. Which Amazon did you buy it from earlier 'usually'?

          USA. Usually buy around December when a special offer is flagged on Slickdeals. I'm not sure what to think of Amazon Aus - nothing like USA.

        • virhlpool on 07/02/2018 - 08:15

          @Iangh: That's very true. Fingers crossed. Hope Amazon Australia improves in terms of deal quality and variety of products being sold.

          Do you get free shipping from Amazon USA?

          It was on the page to be clicked. Enable it and you get the coupon. Slickdeals is very good at letting you know they are there. I wonder how many people buy without enabling the coupon?

        Where from and what is DE?

        • Slippery Fish on 08/02/2018 - 14:52

          Double edge razor. And you buy the razor (a cheapy will do to start but a merkur ect once you learn technique offers a better feel/cut) and blade seperate.

          I bought off eBay :)

        • Grok on 08/02/2018 - 15:33

          @Slippery Fish:

          Whoa, I stopped using them maybe in the 1970s and have been twin blade ever since.

          With DE I kept getting cut and nicked.

        You must have a very heavy beard.

        I shave daily or it is very noticeable but I can't grow a heavy beard.

        So horses for courses, Aldi works great for me.

        • Wallyt99 on 08/02/2018 - 13:21

          Yes. Anything but Mach 3, Mach 4 or Schick Hydro 5 is unusable.

    • seb on 06/02/2018 - 21:22
      +2

      I found the Aldi 4-blade or 5-blade or whatever they were, pretty poor. Didn't bother trying the 2.

      I guess everyone has a different requirement for shaving - some get away with 1-2 shaves per week, others 1-2 per day.

      I get a decent shave from DE safety razors but my technique sucks.

  • ozeebee on 06/02/2018 - 18:55

    Is this same stock from Asia? Because there’s a difference in quality with the ones you get from Coles/Woolies and the ones from overseas.

    The local stuff lasts much longer.

    • LivingOnTheEdge on 06/02/2018 - 19:00

      It says on the back of the pack 'Made in Germany'.

      • Maverick-au on 06/02/2018 - 19:05

        It says on the back of the pack 'Made in Germany'.

        Is that for the blades as well? At Woolies, Coles and chemist warehouse the packs have the handle made in Germany but the blade in Vietnam.

        I'll go in the morning and buy in bulk if these are German made!

        Edit: the link has made in Germany on the back of the pack. Ordered!

  • LivingOnTheEdge on 06/02/2018 - 18:59

    Grabbed 1. Thanks OP.

  • Maverick-au on 06/02/2018 - 19:03

    The local blades are now made in Vietnam but they still charge us full price and throw in hepatitis as a bonus.

    Both Schick and Gillette now sell blades made in Asia in pretty much all their products quietly dropping the German made blades and charging us the same for inferior products. I'm topping up later this year in Germany but don't have enough blades to get me through and I'm not changing from the Mach 3 Turbo unless I can find a German or US made one that works with my skin as well.

    • PAOK11 on 08/02/2018 - 21:11

      when did this happen because I've been using Gillette for 10 years. One day in the last 6 months I picked up the blade & I knew straight away that they had changed the product. The metal was not the quality it used to be and it was lighter & the shave was not as good but still better than disposals. I have gotten used to it but I remember when I noticed the difference

      • Maverick-au on 08/02/2018 - 21:49

        In the last probably six months, I noticed it at the supermarkets and now the chemists etc are the same so I would say they started rolling this in quietly over the last six months. This stock that is being sold off cheap is probably because the German blades are no longer sold in Australia so they're being cleared out. They're not a lot cheaper in Germany as I never find them on special when I'm there but I'll make it a point this time to load up on them, I might even bring some back to resell if I can get them cheap enough.

        Maybe it would be a different story if they dropped the price by 50%+ to reflect their substantially lower price from making them in places that are not known for quality but they have decided to rip us off by selling second or third rate blades that may well be unsafe if they're contaminated and you cut yourself.
