I do, what's better value?

Safety Razor above for $15. I then bought 100 blades sampler pack to see which ones I prefer.
I have that , it's a copy of a merkur futur. Very aggressive and not convenient like a cartridge razor. I can push as hard as I want with a cartridge razor too.
As a chrome dome, yes.
Yep, I love these blades for the skull…….
Have tried many others, and end up with blood running down my noggin everywhere
I'm still using the Gillette 2-blade "system" just to pee them off… Will upgrade to the 6+ blade when it becomes available although the arthritis in my hands may not be able to hold it ;p
Same price at Amazon for anyone with Prime.
Combine with Shopback (7%) or Cashrewards (5.6%) on personal health items.Razormate is also on special at Amazon for $20 - I use this and it really does extend the comfortable shaving life of blades - https://www.amazon.com.au/RAZORMATE-Razor-Blade-Sharpener-70…
Does this actually work?
I just use my arm.
I kid you not, backwards strokes up the forearm takes all the nicks out of the blades and extends the life of the cartridge.So, my post above does say "… it really does extend the comfortable shaving life of blades …", so yeah, my observation and experience is that it does. A used blade starts to drag and then after stropping it is more comfortable to shave with, feels sharper for a couple of shaves… rinse and repeat.
Stropping 'straightens' the edge and also wipes away accumulated stuff (insert rabid internet discussion here about what 'stuff' actually is…).
The Razormate is basically a strop; as an alternative you could use a bit of leather, your jeans, forearm, the throat area of a gimp mask, backwards shaving before you start forwards shaving (so meta) or almost anything else conveniently to hand. The advantage of this is that it is flat, the right kinda stuff and just rinses clean.
Could you please find the link? I couldn't find the equivalent price on amazon
Note the Amazon ones are made in South-East Asia, versus the Woolworths ones that are made in Germany.
The German made ones are definitely better IMO.
Precision German Engineering
Just thought I'd update, got mine from Amazon and it says Made in Poland, distributed by Procter & Gamble Australia.
Great deal here. Handle and 10 blades for $32 or cheaper with subscription.

Its different and more expensive. I fail to see how it's better.
Before you suggest it's a better razor, I will suggest in my experience it isn't. Razors with more than 3 blades tend to clog with hair and then become prone to creating nicks and cuts.
Who said it was better?
I just said great deal.
True.
"Razors with more than 3 blades…"
Part of the reason I like the safety razor I linked above, is because the single blade never clogs, even once I've let myself get shaggy.
boycott Gillette, calling us male toxic
It's the best a man can get
Agree with this, many red-pilled men have already done this.
Will never buy Gillette again.
MeToo
forgot the #
@kehuehue: I did put the hash, it made the text bold. I don't know how to display the hash before text in a comment.
My wife changed brands, said she won’t buy into pc bulldust.
Wow they copped an 8billion drop in sales and still haven't admitted it was a really bad ad
https://onenewsnow.com/business/2019/08/02/gillette-cut-by-8…
First I heard of this ad too…must have been living under a rock at the time. I'll be buying other brands from now onThat CNN article is Jan 2019. The financial news is Aug 2019. But, yeah they still haven't backed down
@Sammyboy: The reuters article it references shows the decline as being due to a rapidly shrinking grooming market and intense competition from cheaper upstarts like Dollar Shave Club rather than the boycotts and the decline has been going for years before the ad. Gillette knew it would be controversial and I can understand why they see it as a success.
@CEO Rachel Jake: Doesn't matter how you look at it. Alienating their customer base ain't gonna sell more razors unless they plan to completely shift towards a female customer base instead.
@OBEY YOUR MASTERS: What i'm saying is they didn't alienate their customer base. Most people don't care and some of the ones who do still buy the products they claim to boycott. Whenever these companies try and do something 'woke', they've done the market research and have determined they gain more than they lose.
@CEO Rachel Jake: Without digging into the references, it appears the 8B sudden loss has occurred only after the ad was aired??
I doubt the upstarts have suddenly affected them so dramatically.
Timing is rather coincidental.
Data can be construed any which way you want I guess@Sammyboy: It's not a loss, they did a non-cash writedown which they had apparently signaled they would do for a long time. P&G bought the brand for $57 billion in 2005 and they are revaluing it since it isn't worth what it was 13 years ago. I think there's a reason that the boycott doesn't factor in to the reuters article. But hey, none of this really matters on ozbargain anyway…
It's put them in an awkward position because if they do admit they were wrong they risk riling up the lefty PC crowd. We all know what they are like. If they continue with the "we are making men better" nonsense they are flushing their cash down the toilet.
I say make an example of them. Get woke, go broke.
I guess they know Gillette for men is a dying market so this ad campaign is not to get more shaving male customer but for the other side who will see this in positive light and support p&g in their other markets. Its a great cannibilising marketing strategy and with cnn's report it seems as they dwindle down on Gillette they are going up in their other markets…
I don't like corporations being woke as it's just a lame way for them to co-opt stuff for more profit.
But, It has been absolute comedy gold that people who claim that they "don't get triggered" get absolutely tilted over an ad that came out a year ago with the lukewarm message being "Don't let your child bully, don't harass women on the street".
I didn't get triggered. I just stopped buying the razors. Didn't tell anyone (until now) except my wife.
It's a poor interpretation of why people are upset that they are 'tilted' over a simple message.
The ad didn't say… Some men are bad. It implied that men in general need to be better. Men in general don't need that message and bully's and sexual harrassers don't care.
They are selling men's products. Their job is to make men feel good and associate that feeling with their product
If they are happy with the results of their campaign then more power to them.
But I've stopped buying their razors and if I was a shareholder, I would have sold all my shares immediately. Selling the shares wouldn't have been an emotional decision, it would have been a financial decisions based on my interpretation that their marketing people made a ridiculously poor decision.
The ad didn't say all men are trash, but rather that not all men are acting the best they can, and then went on about speaking up against abuse.
Overall focus testing for the ad did show it was polarising but with more positive emotions, and it's been almost a year and we are still talking about it, so it is a successful campaign in that regard (Unruly's surveys show this, found it on AdNews).
Overall, the grooming market is in decline so Gillette having a loss doesn't really prove "Get some, go broke". From their fiduciary duty they are expected to say what they suspect the cause is. This is all because everyone wants free attention by attaching themselves to a cause, started by Keurig, then Nike and then Gillette and so on.
@CoffeeCoke: Your interpretation is different to mine and a lot of people.
However I'm the one that's made a decision based on their marketing and a lot of other people have said they have done this also.
So I think I have more evidence to support my interpretation than you do. Being someone who either just continued to buy the razors or doesn't buy the razors but argues online about ad interpretations. If you changed to buying these razors over the campaign that would be relevant to your point.
lol aint buying their shit after they called all men rapists
They'd be claiming women should stay in the kitchen if they thought it would increase sales to the twits that haven't worked out that using disposeable razers is a very expensive way to shave.
It’s almost as if these companies just want money…
When did they do that?
Gillette Mach 3 vs Schick Extreme 3, which one do you guys prefer? I have been using Schick Extreme 3 Sensitive for a while now and I find them to be very good for my skin. I might have used Gillette Match 3 before but can't recall the experience, so I might have to try them and compare the two, I guess.
Then keep using the Schick.
Aren't Gillette and Schick manufactured in the same factories in S.E. I read a few years back that it's all about "brand engineering" these days. The original manufacturers put the brand up on the auction block, the winning bidder then creates a marketing company to own the trademark then offshores the manufacturing in the 3rd world and the revenue is plowed back into mass marketing rather than R&D to develop a better product. The same thing happened with the Duracell and Energizer batteries…
Pretty much applies to most known brands on the Oz market now… recently Kraft sold off the Vegemite & other brands to Bega, a brand which in itself was hived off from the original Bega Cheese (Bega Dairy Co-operative)… the list goes on
Pretty much. Rather reward the marketing campaign that doesn't spit on it's customers and then saying it was worth it
I thought Price Hipster had a beard?
Gotta keep that beard well-manscaped.
Any deals on Fusion Blades?
havent bought any blades for years, reuse old ones simply by stropping in an upward motion on an old pair of jeans
Alternatively you can use the inside of your forearm
what about just using de blades? usually 100 blades for $14-16
Just got 200 Feather DE blades for about $60. That'll do me for about 4 years, whereas 12 of these cartridge type blades would last me about 6 weeks. So $15/year v. $180+/year. Glad I made the switch.
I got a 200 pack as well and I've not purchased shaving blades since mid 2014. It's not for everyone though because my brother tried DE blades and gave up after a few months. You def need to prep better and it's not as quick but each blade last longer, gives a closer shave and ends up being way way cheaper…
Rapira Platinum and Voskhod are the best for value
If you are a toxic male, a rapist or a sexist bully, then you should support this company. For everyone else I can highly recommend Aldi's Calibre 6 cartridges. Cheap at $2 per cartridge but higher quality than the Gillette Fusion blades I used previously. They last well over a month of daily shaving.
I second Aldi's blades. I returned an unopened packet of Gillette blades that I had and have been buying from Aldi ever since. Thanks to Gillette I'm woke to Aldi's blades now.
I find the Aldi one pulls on my hair's
They are designed for shaving your face…
Thanks OP. Almost all of the value packs were on a similar 30% off from what I could see. These ones are cheapest by cartridge though.
Switched to BiC this year and haven't looked back. Load up when 50% off.
What the hell is all this crap?
The whole world needs to get a hobby
Check to see if that thing above you is a rock.
All this 'crap' is about the hobby of misandry.
Prejudice against men?
Sure it exists, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum- that prejudice exists in a world that is designed and run by men.Therefore, compared with the multitude of other segments of society subjected to prejudice- men can go to the very back of the line when I'm distributing my sympathy to the downtrodden.
That's like a rich CEO of a power company complaining about the rising cost of his personal household electrical bills.
Sure- rising power costs are a real thing, and his home powerbill would be going up- just like the rest of us…. but he can't exactly expect much sympathy from anyone.
Thanks OP! Got one !
Coles has this one on sale this week.
do people still use Mach 3 ?
