Cheap Gillette Mach 3 blades

[Friendstar]

Hey all,

 

 

where do u all buy cheap mach 3 blades ah? (non-turbo)

 

 

i used to get it at 9++ dollars for 4 cartridges... but the shop has closed down.

 

 

 

to me, 4 cartridges for 10 dollars is considered a good bargain.

 

 

PS: i recently saw a refill for 8 cartridges selling at 17.50 in a dilapidated shop in little india.... i'm a bit skeptical to buy it. cos the shop really too run down.

These days, I only use disposable shaver + blades. Gillette 5 pieces pack usually cost me from RM5 to RM12 depending 2 blades or 3 blades in JB.

 

Electrical one, very time consuming and difficult to clean hidden edges and corners. Those using refillable blades one also not clean enough leh. Disposable can use a few weeks and just throw away, least hassle .

I know one wholesale shop somewhere near Jalan Jurong Kechil where I used to buy those 2-blade Gillette cartridges at wholesale price but you have to buy more than one piece. I dun know the exact location of the shop as I dun go there anymore since they don't carry the Gillette Vector blade that I am currently using.

cant remember the exact value, but i always got it from ck (kovan)... i think ~20 for the 8 cartridges turbo type.. think non-turbo should be slightly cheaper..

[Dafansu]

the cheapest i can find will be chinatown second level above the market in front of OG

I got my gillette March 3 @ $8.50 for 4 cartridges from a neighbourhood shop in Ang Mo Kio central few months ago. Shop name "Red Tomato" near Jubilee.

swee!!!

 

this is the shop i wanna go.

 

 

cos i heard that it can be as cheap as 8.50.

 

so its actually situated at AMK.

 

 

thanks bro!!!

[Friendstar]

bro can u give a more specific location?

 

cos i realized AMK central is a bit confusing.

In AMK central there is a big stage in the open space. Behind this stage is Eu Yan Sang. Red Tomato is same block as Eu Yang Sang, just around the corner not far away.

 

i also get my shaving gel there cos its the cheapest I can find. But its a small shop, so sometime some goods maybe out of stocks for few days.

After what I considered to be the Fusion power rip-off, I switched to Schick Quattro, and both the instrument and the disposables are a lot cheaper and perform adequately. Never going back to Gillette.

 

I know this doesn't answer your question, but just thought you might like to know another good alternative system that's a lot cheaper.

ya gillette is a real rip-off.

 

 

but if 4 blades for 8.50... still cheap enough for me.

 

 

how much is the schick quattro ?

I just went to check my old packet (almost a year old) - I bought a packet of Schick Quattro 4-bladed titanium blades for $9.90 from Mustafa.

 

Yes, $8.50 for the Gillette Mach 3 4-pack is really cheap (and it's a good bargain you should avail yourself of), but remember that the Mach 3 is an older system. If you compare the Fusion blade prices to the Schick Quattro Titanium...well, there's no comparison, Gillette is vastly overpriced.

 

For me, I was simply fed-up with the performance of the latest Fusion power system - the system died on me within 3 months of usage (battery replacement did not help). That sort of failure is simply unacceptable in such an expensive system, so I just switched brands. For Schick, both the instrument (holder) and the blades are much cheaper than the new Gillette stuff, so I'm happy with the decision.

i use to buy disposable but in the long run it is expensive

 

i bought an electric shaver but missed my indian barber that gives me super close shave

 

usually i leave the barber shop, as soon as i have 3 bandage on my face (quota reached)

 

why not go for some hair removal cream

I switch frm gillette to schick more than 2 years ago. It cheaper to use too.

I too buy my toiletries (including Gillette blades) from there. Price most competitive. Beside a shop that sells ladies' inner beauty, IIRC.

especially when schick has titanium coated blades ... longer lasting and rust resistant for a long, long time.
