@kus@username@yakkoTDI I once busted up my clutch foot. I drove my wifeās car with automatic for a couple weeks, then was fitted with a boot that allowed me to use the clutch again. I got a lot of funny looks parking my little red Porsche in the disabled spot.
@Fatestorm Yes. They have the handle with one blade & holder for $10. Then you get a 5 pack of blades for free. Shipping was $2.99 for 3 day express so $12.99 but only 6 blades. Stilā¦ better then MEH this time. Usually thatās not the case but MEH screwed up this time
@bugger do you have a link to that? I just looked on their website and the starter kit is the handle and one cartridge with five blades. Thatās not 5 replacement cartridges, itās one cartridge with five blades on the head.
@RiotDemon You are correct. Itās $36 for the 8 pack replacement blades PLUS $10 for handle with one blade + Base. So $46 at website but you get one more blade. Sorry MEH for any lost sales. I will now try to cut myself with the said blade kit. I take blood thinners so it should do me in
@bugger Your link for $24 is for the base Fusion5 blade. These are ProGlide / ProShield (thinner and better quality blades that are more rust resistant).
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF, I literally just bought the exact pack on amazon & got it yesterdayā¦ Might as well buy it here since itās half of what I just bought it forā¦
gilletteās 5-blade razor is getting cleared out via deal sites and amazon resellersā¦ so that means we should be seeing the new 6-blade razors announced any day now, right?
Suppose I should stock up with a couple yearsā worth to get through until the 7-blades come out. Because everyone knows the odd numbered releases are always better than the even-numbered ones, right? Or was it the other way around?
The Amazon prices are nowhere near what they are quoted above, plus free 2-day shipping with Prime. That said, Gillette is a clueless and woke subsidiary of Proctor & Gamble. Their blades are fine, but way overpriced.
You can get the proglide at Costco with 16 refills so 17 blades for $47. Cheaper at Costco. I usually on get them when they are on sale for $38 couple of times a year. An epic failure MEH.
@RiotDemon Just one - my hair wasnāt heavy there, luckily. Occasionally I do a wax because there are a few strays that came back, but I really love not having to do anything most of the time. Good luck - itās so worth it, I think.
@RiotDemon Hmmmm - I had it done at my dermatologistās office. Maybe being half-Asian is partly why I didnāt need more sessions, but I wonder whether some places just stretch it out to multiple appointments so they can charge more?
@fuzzmanmatt@squishybrain@thechinglish It was on the forum page at midnight. From there you could click on the photo and go to what was supposed to be the main page if someone hadnāt messed up.

What a dull offering.
Lol. People stopped shaving during the pādemic?
Gimme Sensor 2 blades
@username I stopped shaving when I broke my leg. That was years before the human malware took over.
@username @yakkoTDI Did you use your feet to shave pre-break?
@macromeh @username @yakkoTDI I think he meant shaving his legs
@kus @macromeh @username I broke my clutch leg and had to work from home for 4 months. Gave me time to grow out a nice enough beard to take to work.
@kus @username @yakkoTDI I once busted up my clutch foot. I drove my wifeās car with automatic for a couple weeks, then was fitted with a boot that allowed me to use the clutch again. I got a lot of funny looks parking my little red Porsche in the disabled spot.
At least this deal is shaved down to last only 23 hours.
@AllIceNoChill Apparently not.
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Looks like Gillette lost to Harryās and Dollar Shaver Club. Why else would they let Meh resale them?
As a longtime Billy Idol fan, I do not approve of thisā¦ joke.
/giphy groan
Is this a bate and switch? Gilette is the product name that is for sale, but the picture is clearly Gillette.
@hchavers
/giphy Bate you say?
@hchavers @stinks
Gilette, you say?
/giphy penn gilette
@hchavers @mike808 Well played.
@hchavers @mike808 @stinks That is the perfect giphy.
I havenāt even gone through the first bag of razors from months ago. The no namers.
Sneaky. Thatās not nine replacement blades. Thatās the original blade and eight replacements.
/giphy clever girl Jurassic
Chinesium or Harrys?
@Odorous You can always go Korean with Dollar Shave Club.
I do not think these are an improvement over the Mach 3 and they are way too expensive.
You can buy the razor, stand with one blade and a 5 pack of blades direct from Gillette for $10!!! Really MEH???
@bugger You can?
@Fatestorm Yes. They have the handle with one blade & holder for $10. Then you get a 5 pack of blades for free. Shipping was $2.99 for 3 day express so $12.99 but only 6 blades. Stilā¦ better then MEH this time. Usually thatās not the case but MEH screwed up this time
@bugger do you have a link to that? I just looked on their website and the starter kit is the handle and one cartridge with five blades. Thatās not 5 replacement cartridges, itās one cartridge with five blades on the head.
@bugger
Yeah, I call bullshit on that.
@RiotDemon You are correct. Itās $36 for the 8 pack replacement blades PLUS $10 for handle with one blade + Base. So $46 at website but you get one more blade. Sorry MEH for any lost sales. I will now try to cut myself with the said blade kit. I take blood thinners so it should do me in
@Fatestorm I am incorrect this is a better buy then Amazon and company website by close to 40%
@bugger @RiotDemon https://gillette.com/en-us/products/razors-trimmers-and-blades/fusion5-razor
@bugger https://gillette.com/en-us/products/razors-trimmers-and-blades/fusion5-razor
@bugger well shit I guess itās $24 for 9 blades free shipping. My bad
@punkynpye https://gillette.com/en-us/products/razors-trimmers-and-blades/fusion5-razor
this might be the metal vs plastic model, still meh saves you only $7
https://gillette.com/en-us/products/razors-trimmers-and-blades/fusion-proshield-razor
@bugger
Thatās the price with a monthly subscription deal. Yes, you can cancel it later, but thatās still totally different.
@bugger @punkynpye
actually, if you click the radio button for one time purchase the price stays the same ($24)ā¦ at least it did on my computer. YMMV
@bugger Your link for $24 is for the base Fusion5 blade. These are ProGlide / ProShield (thinner and better quality blades that are more rust resistant).
Quit shaving when I retired from the Air Force. DO NOT NEED!
@jonjen2
@jonjen2 I see that Son!
thank me for my service
@username
thank yāall
Under Specs:
āCondition: Newā
Ummā¦does this imply these are available for sale somewhere in a used condition?
@shrewsbury Meh has sold electric razors as refurbed, soā¦
not enough blades
@dpease
Theyāre working on a sequel.
/image āblades of gloryā
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF, I literally just bought the exact pack on amazon & got it yesterdayā¦ Might as well buy it here since itās half of what I just bought it forā¦
What no POWER version?
Cut me to the core

@Snshyn75 I see so many leg issues in the future for that giphy guy.
/buy
@zachdecker It worked! Your order number is: statuesque-nautical-pretzel
/image statuesque nautical pretzel
At least itās not Stroopwafels or Mophies
@mattig88 I am holding out for the Mphiewaffels.
Not really great:
Samās Club, Fusion 5 with 9 Blades: $26.98 or Proglide with 14 blades: $31.28
@louisdi 14 blades on one razor!!! Close shaveā¦
@eeterrific @louisdi
Thatās almost as impressive as the legendary Quintippio!
Iām still working my way through this hundred pack of double edge razor blades. I think they were around $15.
āPrimarily?ā
You can get the same for less here: https://gillette.com/en-us/products/razors-trimmers-and-blades/fusion5-razor
Although frankly I prefer electric and crocodile Dundee.
Itās actually the same price on Amazon right now. Not a great deal.
I quit all things gillette a few years ago when they decided to get woke and tell their customers how they should live
@TheStas This x1,000,000.
gilletteās 5-blade razor is getting cleared out via deal sites and amazon resellersā¦ so that means we should be seeing the new 6-blade razors announced any day now, right?
Suppose I should stock up with a couple yearsā worth to get through until the 7-blades come out. Because everyone knows the odd numbered releases are always better than the even-numbered ones, right? Or was it the other way around?
The Amazon prices are nowhere near what they are quoted above, plus free 2-day shipping with Prime. That said, Gillette is a clueless and woke subsidiary of Proctor & Gamble. Their blades are fine, but way overpriced.
Itās also $24 for the same deal from Gillette itself.
If you donāt shave until they arrive, how long will your beard be??
Hmmmā¦fusion. Doesnāt that have something to do with atomic power?? So will your face shine in the dark if you use these??
How is this a deal?
i guess it looks a notch different cause not a āproā glide version or such
@username Thereās also the āstand,ā I guess, lol.
You can get the proglide at Costco with 16 refills so 17 blades for $47. Cheaper at Costco. I usually on get them when they are on sale for $38 couple of times a year. An epic failure MEH.
One of my best decisions was to get my underarms zapped - laser hair removal means I donāt have to shave there anymore!
@Kyeh how many sessions did you do? I did six and itās reduced a ton. I feel like I need at least two more.
@RiotDemon Just one - my hair wasnāt heavy there, luckily. Occasionally I do a wax because there are a few strays that came back, but I really love not having to do anything most of the time. Good luck - itās so worth it, I think.
@Kyeh wow, only one. Thatās crazy. Never heard of one session being enough! Was always told 8-10 is normal.
@RiotDemon Hmmmm - I had it done at my dermatologistās office. Maybe being half-Asian is partly why I didnāt need more sessions, but I wonder whether some places just stretch it out to multiple appointments so they can charge more?
Great sale
Save the landfill.
2 Blades is enough for me!
Cant navigate those 5 bladed ones without cutting my faceā¦
Oh snap did you guys forget DST?
@thechinglish looks like it
@thechinglish came here for this
/giphy came here
@thechinglish seems that way
@fuzzmanmatt @thechinglish The new sale is up just not on the main page. Weird.
/giphy daylight savings time
@fuzzmanmatt @sammydog01 @thechinglish What other page is there other than the main page?
@fuzzmanmatt @squishybrain @thechinglish It was on the forum page at midnight. From there you could click on the photo and go to what was supposed to be the main page if someone hadnāt messed up.
LOL DST guys!
Lol
I thought Iād stay up till midnightā¦ you know check out my favorite retail site. Itās a mess tonight
Is it ground hog day? Donāt see Bill Murray, anyone, Bill, anyone?
OKā¦ so what is this?
