Gillette razors on ebay

[Dessert Tears]

I have a 4-pack of Mach3 Turbo that I bought retail yesterday. I can't see a serial number as photographed on the cartridge holder, but the individual cartridges look fine and the box seems to be glued correctly (required tearing the cardboard).

You should see the serial. I inspected the two retail catridge holders I have right now and both of them have it. The serial number is formed by a bunch of small dots, very hard to see

I just got some turbo cartridges off ebay, and went through that comparison.

According to that page, the ones I got are real. every last detail lines up, and I haven't had any problems shaving with them yet.

can't beat 24 for 27.50 shipped.

But I guess I will have to be careful if I ever get more off ebay.

which seller did you get them from?

This guy.

Well, I dont think he knew they were fake.

I think his are legit. He isn't one of those gillette sellers where you see hundreds of listings for gillette razors. He probably got them from liquidators

Amazing. I guess all those teens working at convenience stores aren't as nimble with their fingers as they use to be.

I was in a similar situation, but I was the seller.

I had received a container of counterfeit Irish Spring from China. Sold them on eBay for $.01 plut $10 s/h per 6 pack.

I was busted after only 1,100 packs were sold.

Busted by whom? The counterfeit soap police?

they must get a lot of "better not drop the soap" jokes in that precinct 😉

I once bought some fake Schick razors in Laos.

real men shave with straight edge razors!

Is that supposed to be a joke?

Real men shave with chainsaws.

wtf?! who would pay $10 for a 6pack of soap?! Walmart's cheaper (ie: ivory soap)

I recently ordered 16 of them. Turned out they were fake. The first thing that raised my suspicion was the aloe strip. Normally with the ones I used to buy at Walmart, the aloe strip left some oily substance on my face during shaving (which could be washed off with water later). The one I bought on Ebay wasn't the same. Did a search no google, and indeed, most of them were fake. The real ones would have a serial number on the holder.

looks like the seller got away w/it

Wow, buying name brand razors on ebay. You have too much time on your hands (and not enough sense.)

Saving 15-20 bucks on Gillette blades doesn't make sense to you?

That was part of the joke. 😉
