The Wal-Marts here in the KC area sell the non-power fusion blades  4-pack for a little over $12.  Still a little over $3/blade but it sounds better than in some other areas.

Just an update....After about a month of my fusion just sitting in my shaving drawer, I stopped at Wal-Mart and picked up a 4-pack of regular Fusion blades.  They were 4 for $11.83.  Not to bad for Fusion blades, though still pretty expensive compared to other types.

Before being SLY, I would never have thought of paying $3/blade.  But being addicted to a smooth dome, you'll do what it takes to get the slickest, smoothest shave possible.

Here's a review and some correspondence that I had with Gillette several months ago...

I'm sure this has been said before somewhere.  When the battery drained on my Gillette Fusion Power I continued to shave...

...and it seemed to work better without "power".  ???

Do they even make the power ones anymore?

And I thought I was the only one!  I may get a battery for mine and see if it still works

I use the manual. I just don't like it with power.
