Gillette Mach 3 razor refills $1.20 each including S/H

[CouponCollect]

not bad -- need some new razor blades... the dullness is giving me zits

I ordered 57 packages of the $1 more.com Mach III deal the very first week it was offered. I never would have done such a thing, but the customer service rep that I spoke to encouraged me to do it. She said I should make sure only that I tell everyone I knew about the great deal. I did. Nobody else signed up though. Then more.com went out of business. I still have 55 left packages left. Oh well.

I got the actual razor for free too, when PlanetRX offered that $10 of $10 deal. Before that, I used to shave with those stupid $1.19 generic disposible blades from the B&M drugstore. Only I kept them around for like a month. That's a deal that actually made a significant improvement on my life.

One interesting thing about Walmart. Was looking at the replacement blades a while back and it was actually cheaper at the time to buy multiple 4-packs than spring for an 8 or higher pack. Crazy. Just checked their website and it'll now save you a couple bucks to get an 8 or 12 pack.

I've thought about mixing up the proper oils and such to mimic the goop you can buy that keeps the blades from rusting. As it is, buying the stuff wouldn't really save any money, just save swapping the razor every 6-10 shaves. If I get the right mix I'll post it.

The mach3 blades last me a three months at least, and I have pretty normal growth.

Wow Fpr and I thought I was really pushing the limits when I use the Mach3 blade for a week.

Btw you can get these for $1.25 each at Costco. Sam's club may have similar kind of deal.

I took a look at webrx.com since I know they have a few coupons floating around. Here's a few possible deals:

5 8-pack Mach3 @$11.99 = 59.95 - 25% coupon = $44.96 shipped 40 blades $1.12 each

4 8-pack Mach3 @11.99
1 4-pack Mach3 @6.59 = 47.96 - 25% coupon = $40.91 shipped 36 blades $1.14 each

Think this coupon has expired
6 8-pack Mach3 @11.99 = 71.94 - 30% coupon = $50.36 shipped 48 blades $1.05 each!

One thing I sometimes forget is that I'll be paying around 8% sales tax if I buy locally.


The post above this one mentioning Sam's Club reminds me. If you picked up (or plan to pick up) any Walmart.com gift cards, you can use them at Sam's club to effectively get an additional 20% off (excluding sales tax).

I agree with H's price concern I bough some at Savon.com and three 4 packs were WAY less that 1 12 pack if I remember correctly... it struck me as pretty odd.

Gotta run to Sam's club to get the blades. Just got my 4 $50 gift cards for walmart.com

Why didn't you guys stock up when those drugstores had all those coupons. I set for like 2 years.

 

[pbrain]

love these blades. use them on my head as well as my face. best i've ever used. but i find them slightly difficult to use on my upper lip too.

 

[Hossenfeffer]

Suppose you could always splurge and use 2 different razors. Heh. The sensor (or sensor excel) for your upper lip and little spots, mach3 for the open praries.

Or not.

hey does anyone know anything about putting a razor in baby oil or something to keep it from rusting?

i heard it somewhere, thinking it's an old wives tale

 

[CitizenX]

there is a product called "Razorguard" that allegedly extends the life of disposable/refillable razors... you soak you blades in it between use... I got a sample and it seemed to work but I never pursued purchasing it...razorguard website

 

[Hossenfeffer]

It's kinda spendy. Lengthens the time before a razor goes dull but not quite enough to justify the cost, at least for me.

 

[mrCide]

anyone have any experience or stories with that braun self cleaning one? I was considering getting that because i'm sensative and have thick hair = painful shave, even with mach3

 

[CitizenX]

Anyone remember the cologneguy website?

it appears to be gone.. there were some good shaving tips there...

 

[abc]

i thought that something like corn oil or any oil or a jar of vaseline could protect the blade from getting dull... isn't the idea to hide the metal from air???

5 8-pack Mach3 @$11.99 = 59.95 - 25% coupon = $44.96 shipped 40 blades $1.12 each

Ebates gives 10% back. $44.96*.10 = $4.496 so $40.46 Shipped $1.01 per blade
