Not original Gillette razors but doesn't seem too bad a deal. I guess you can always buy cheaper on eBay for genuines or even knockoffs.

Excellent, something useful to finally spend my $10 referal credits from the Stockland deal on.
$4 for 8. Buy two seperatly - $8 for 16.bloody good deal.
LOL, I see what you did there! ;)
Read up on http://fakeblades.wordpress.com/
I'd rather not have my balls cut to ribbons with these knockoffs
This made me laugh.
too much info mate…
The marketing worked well then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08_rgD75xv0
I'm still using the ones from Dealfox which were $29 for 16.
Were they genuine or fakes? If fakes, how do they compare?
They were genuine blades (I also brought them from dealfox)
Mine were genuine, no problems with them at all. I've still got a few left myself, but as kirky1 says, those referral credits make these worth a shot for $4 top-ups! :)
Same! Gone through about 6 cartridges haha
If anyone is actually keen on trying some knockoffs, give these a look - http://www.buyincoins.com/-product-1710.html
At the moment, it's 50% off the 2nd item so 1 pack of 4 blades will cost you $3.68 USD, 2 packs of 4 blades will cost you $5.52 USD - including delivery.
Please note that I have NO IDEA if they are any good or not, but they are a crapload cheaper than the ones in this deal and most probably out of the same junk factory :)
They claim OEM but that's not likely, but you never know either I suppose.
hmm have $10 credit to spend but not keen on knockoff blades
Don't do it, fake blades are the work of the devil. Tried it once, lasted only 2 shaves (compared to 10+ with a normal razor), rusted very quickly, and had a serrated edge causing cuts. Think beyond that, no guarantee of process standards + blood = potential tetanus or other disease…all to save a few bucks? Not worth it…
I would normally agree, but with referral credit it's 50c per blade shipped…worth a punt IMHO.
Besides, if they're too shoddy I'll just give them to my father-in-law! :p
I'd recommend a cheapass bottle of alcohol based aftershave as well ;)
I was thinking Windex! ;)
Counterfeits? No thanks
( I realize not everyone has a Costco membership, but they have pretty good prices on the excellent Mach 3 disposables when you buy in bulk)
"Not original Gillette razors but doesn't seem too bad a deal. I guess you can always buy cheaper on eBay for genuines or even knockoffs."
You are right, that's why this in NOT a bargain :)
Normal price for fake blades that will cut your face up and has a life measured in hours instead of days. These things are even worse than the cheap basic blades. If you have a bag of blood ready to replace what you lose after using this junk then this is a deal for you.
had 2X $10 discount codes so what the hell.
I bought Dorco disposable razors from Clints crazy bargains in Albury 4 years ago. best razors ever (well pretty damn good). $3ish for 12. lasted ages.
Not a good idea. I purchased some cheap "genuine" Mach3 blades from eBay. It would have been better to use a cheese grater on my face than use those razors. They looked almost exactly like the original - seriously good copy, but there were some slight differences which you needed to know what to look for (site mentioned above helps with this). Got a refund with paypal. Steer clear.
HAHAHAHAHA, mine turned up today & I had a quick shave to try them out…despite the brand on the extremely generic packaging being "Good blades", I can confirm that they're not great! I'm glad I only paid $4…as Mr T says, I pity the fool that paid full price for these!
Looks like I'd better keep an eye out for a bottle of Aqua Di Windex to go with these for the father-in-law! ;)
i appreciate the feedback mate
No probs. The wife LOL'd when she saw the packs…sky blue plain cardboard with only "Good blades" & "MADE IN PRC" proudly emblazoned on there…at four bucks even I had a chuckle; no harm, no foul! :)
Don't get me wrong, they're actually fairly usable, not quite as bad as the cheap twin blades from GoLo et al.; but you can really tell they're nothing like ridgy-didge Mach3 blades or even the usual parallel imports.
Thankfully, the FiL's face is made of boot leather, so he can shave & strop the blades at the same time! ;)
compatible? no
