No worries about counterfeiting.. I get those blades for 10 cents each and use they for a long time.. You just have to shave a bit slowly.. but once u learn it is easy.. and gives a great shave.. Why did people stop using these blades..

Pretty disappointing when you find them in retail stores after paying almost $3 per blade. Hopefully I can get $ back from one of the parties involved.

They are horrible. The seller says too send the remainder back for a refund. I want E Bay to shut this person down. They seem to be more concerned with making money from sellers than helping the victims of this fraud. Beware of E Bay stuff.

Google for Merkur or Dovo safety razors. Use the likes of Feather (Japan) brand blades in the razor. You can make the shaving occasion as sophisticated or as simple as *you* want. A person can use shaving gel, no need for a brush and lather. Avoid the problem totally, make a situation better for yourself, cut off the profit addiction for the manufacturers of 'disposables'. Indulge yourself, don't be a slave to your shave.

Researched the return address (including the suite number) and it was a Nigerian consulate.

Gilette's attitude in this case (expend tons of cash on lawyers etc to catch the perpetrators) is futile as new fake manufacturers will spring up as fast as you can arrest them. They will never win, or even make a dent. I am 100% positive that they have a ton of room on margin for these items; if they just stopped ripping us off then the fake industry would disappear overnight.

This page makes it quite clear to all of us that fake blades are very common on ebay and the internet in general. So here’s a question, where can we purchase REAL legitimate blades at a discounted price, since we all damned well know the real products are seriously overpriced / gouged? Any suggestions? Is there a known ‘real’ ebay seller or another option? Someone drop me an email fakeblades XXA.TXX scottylans XXX.XXX com I’ve just made this post over at fakeblades and thought I might do it here too.
