good buy

Always use gillette

Some of the reviews stating these are inferior concerned me, so much so that I decided to do an experiment to determine once and for all. I found that these are just a good as store-bought and I think the negative reviews are unfounded.In this experiment, I bought these razors and a 10-pack from my local Sainsburys. I engraved a small notch on the interior plastic part razors in an area where I couldn't see where while I was shaving, so I wouldn't know if I was using the store-bought or Amazon-bought razors. (Methodology: I made one knick in the plastic for store-bought and two knicks for Amazon bought; I made the knick at the part where razor head connects to the handle, so I can't see which I'm using while shaving.) On two separate occasions I tried shaving half of my head with either the razors while in the shower and tried to assess which razor was better. Both times I tried shaving, when I didn't know what razor I was using, I couldn't tell which razor was better. I attempted to guess which one was which, and I was right 50% of the time--I really had no idea.Conclusion: I could not determine the difference between store-bought and Amazon-bought razors. Therefore, I think these razors are just as good as store-bought razors. I speculate that the negative reviews that suggested these razors were inferior or defective are likely succumbing to a placebo effect or perhaps they received a bad batch (which is presumably just a likely to happen with store-bought razors).PS--regarding the blue strip that supposedly indicates when the razor is worn out: I think the blue strip fades much sooner than it's worn out. I used a razor that had a completely faded blue strip and it was just as good as the new razors I was using. To be honest, I think this might be a bit of planned obsolesce.Overall, great razors, just as good as store-bought.

Good but upgraded to labs

I asked Gillette about these blades, here’s the reply:Hi IanThank you for getting in touch with us at Gillette. It's great to hear that you use our Fusion range of razors. I understand that you would like to check if it is a genuine product that you have found online - I would love to help you with this.The link that you have provided routes through to the following product on Amazon –Gillette Fusion5 Razor Blades for Men with Precision Trimmer, Pack of 16 Refill Blades.I have checked this particular product and the pack sizes that are currently available. I can advise that although we no longer currently stock the 16pack, this was a pack size that we produced until recently. Any retailer that still has stock of this pack size are still able to sell it. I have also checked the particular page on the Amazon site that you have linked to and can see that this product is listed as ‘Dispatched from and sold by Amazon'. Amazon is a registered retailer of Gillette products and because this is not a third party seller on Amazon, I can conclude that this will be a genuine Gillette product.I hope that this answers the questions that you have regarding the authenticity of these blades. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.Kind RegardsMark,Consumer Relations

Easy to use and leaves you with a smooth shave, very durable and always fit in the razor handle. I don't use any other brand of razor, reasonably priced and functional.
