Title: Cheapest place to buy razors
Post by: Tyler on April 02, 2009, 02:11:30 PM: Well, it looks like Costco stopped carrying Gillette Sensor Excel blades in my area. :'( :'( :'(

Anyone know of a place to buy blades cheaper than the grocery store?

to answer Tyler, the best place i can find for blades is local overstock stores. but they are hit or miss with the blade selection.

Oh, and what with how the US $ is a LOT stronger than ours now it could really be worth it...

2) The cheapest way to get Mach 3 blades is online, on ebay usually. You can buy them in bulk. (you know you're gonna need them!).

Post by: Tyler on April 03, 2009, 12:18:27 PM: Thanks guys! I will probably end up buying them in bulk of of eBay, but it's always nice to know where to find them locally, especially if I'm traveling and forgot some.

I'm bummed about Costco because they cost about what I found them on eBay for. I haven't had good luck with the generics.

Jer - Let me know what you find.

Post by: Jer on April 03, 2009, 11:45:38 PM: Alright, so unfortunately my day ended up being busier than I expected so I wasn't able to check, but I have to go renew my Costco membership tomorrow anyway so when I'm there I'll find out.

Have you looked at contacting Gillette directly to buy them bulk from them? Say a case or two at a time? It may be worth a shot, and who knows, running SBG you may be able to claim it as a 'Business Expense'!!! O0

Post by: Jer on April 04, 2009, 12:50:34 PM: Alright, i'm sitting here now in my truck at the costco parking lot and had to let you know before i forget. the sensor excel's here are in packs of 25 and go for $39.99 and with the exchange rate at 1.27 cad for 1 usd I'll let you figure it out if it's cheaper.
