Default gillette fusion power blades

Anyone use them?

Could you tell me where you buy them from, please? I think I might buy my Dad a Fusion Power razor for his birthday, but unless i can source cheap blades, he won't be able to afford them when he's retired! I'll stock up on some for him as well. The other half had a power razor for Christmas and he really likes it (and he's fussy as hell about razors!).

Amazon have some at £8.49 for 8, but for each pack they're charging £4.50 postage. Now that still works out a lot cheaper than buying them in Boots, but I have a hatred for over-inflated p+p prices! I suspect I may have to put that to one side, but thought I'd ask in case anyone has a good source for them!

Cheers

I think Superdrug is the cheapest I have seen normal fusion blades on the high street. They last quite a while too (although I don't have iron filings for facial hair like some people).

Can't help CB,soz. Just had to take the opportunity to moan about the price of sharp metal these days.

I use a proper old fashioned safety razor, and even those actual razor blades cost a small fortune now! Thanks God they last about ten times longer than fancy branded plastic enclosed razor refills. £2.50 for 10 blades! Not that long ago they were 75p...still those 10 blades would last the year probably.

They're a bunch of dirty bastards here, aren't they? I don't know half the people on here,
since the merger, but logging in has become a bad, dirty habit and a kind of guilty pleasure.....
