Cheap(er) blades for UK slapheads
« on: September 15, 2011, 12:58:15 AM »
Alright lads? Whats occurring? :o

I just went into Tesco for an emergency Krispy Kreme donut, and they have quite a good deal on blades.

10 Fusion blades, plus a razor (which has a blade on it too) for £20. Same deal for Mach 3.

I asked the chavette nice young lady at the customer service desk if this offer is available in all stores, and after faffing around for about 10 minutes, she said its not available in Tesco Metro or Tesco Express stores, and its not available at all in Northern Ireland (why??) or Ireland. Oirish lads, beidh ort teacht go Sasana chun iad a cheannach :(

Anyway, here's a lovely picture of my new Fusion blades :D

With the current exchange rate the cost of your blades is equivalent to ten visits to the barber in my country. I get to have my head shaved once a week. The blades here cost a fortune. Lucky I have found a barber who knows how to shave my head really smooth at a quarter of the price if I buy razors to shave my head by myself.

Looks like they cheated you out of a couple of blades. Are you sure there's 10 there?

When I looked at it earlier on my phone, it looked like there were three blades in the top pack and two in the other two packs.  Now that I'm looking at the larger image on my PC screen, I can see there's an extra blade in each package, so you're right.  I couldn't see the ones on the very right earlier.  My bad.   :-[

Yeah there are eleven. Ten in the plastic thingies, and one in the razor.

If I had been in charge of marketing for Gillette, I think I might have made it clearer there are 11 blades :D
