Razor Blades

Bob Dobson · 16-11-2012, 20:15

I have a job to find the Wilkinson Blue Diamond razor blades. Is there any stall on the market that has them?
It may be that I will have to change to another type of wet razor. What's best - a good shave and long-lasting being musts. I use a gel rather than foam

I use a Gillette power thing, no gel, foam or soap, just water and a razor in the shower, excellent shave every day, lasts well, (Weeks per blade easily)

You opened this thread on 16/11, Bob.
No success so far? So how long is your beard now?

It maybe some help Bob, Ive been using Gillette Mach Three same razor sinch 1994 almost 20 years blades now cost £13.55 for 8 but I can bet each blade will last about 3/4 weeks. I am ready for new blades this next week but I thought I would look at the new Gillette Powerglide.

I have previously bought these off the web, but had to pay postage per pack, so as I ordered two packs, it was quite expensive. The postage cosdt fgar exceeded what the posting should have cost.I am on my last two blades. I feel sure that some must be available to buy in a shop or stall, but I havenet yet found them. Gillette products have almost a monopoly. I am hopeful that someone will spot them - Wilkinson Blue Diamond blades - somewhere and tell me. Accyweb has that power

In that case, no wonder I cannot find them - discontinued. The others from the internet site are the old fashioned type that my dad used to sharpen by rubbing inside as jam jar. I'm gonna have to have a change.I have tried Bott's brand and Lidll's but didn't like them.
