Glasgow Mag 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Gits I'm thinking about the £18.99 I spend every couple of months on 8 Gilette Fusion razor blades. Bloody rip-off. I like a wet shave but think that the big shaving companies are raking it in. Back in the day folk used to use disposable razor blades - can you still do that these days? Does it produce a comparable result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11080 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I find electric razors can give you a very good shave these days and allow you to keep a bit of stubble (which I prefer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigThompers Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Use an electric one myself, more benefit to my quite sensitive skin. If I shave too close it usually itches for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 'twas King Gillette himself who came up with the idea of giving away razors (these day they get your nearest & dearest to BUY them for you of course) and then making his money out of the blades............................. unfortunately a lot of other people have cottoned on............

Guest Stevie Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I used to use Bic's when I was younger and its akin to Freddie Kruger getting emotional on your neck. Gillette Fusion is the best I've come across but you're right fucking what a rip off. 18.99 for 8 I bet it costs them 3 quid tops to do the research, marketing and production of them.

Guest Stevie Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 There are about 550m people in Europe, that's the market that add would've been focussed on. Of those 550m, 270m will be blokes, and of that 270m, maybe 180m will be shaving. So they have 180m potential customers. Of that 180m, I reckon 5m at most will have beards. So there's 175m who will potentially buy Gillette. You would guess as market leader they have a 30% market share, so you're looking at just over 50m customers. The average bloke will have 50 blades a year so you're talking 120 quid on blades. 120 quid x 52m customers is 6 billion quid. They'd only pay TH, TW and RBCF, 6m between them so that's a drop in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 If you're telling me that the average bloke spends £120 on razor blades you're taking the piss. 18 quid for 8 right. You'll easily used those 8 up in 2 months, ythey go blunt after a week. Maybe tramps from Spennymoor make them last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31600 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm looking into getting a Merkur but 75 quid for the Vision 2000 is a bit steep. Anyone know if it's worth it compared to the cheaper versions like the Futur or the 34C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
