Gillette is a company that is very clever when it comes to marketing its razors in essentially giving you the latest technology when it comes to manual razors, year after year and at a cheap price – but getting you to invest a lot more money later when you have to buy the blades. Three blades end up costing you more than a razor together with one free blade when you buy it at the beginning and the strategy obviously works, because it continues to dominate shelving space. It is amazing that there has not been an electric shaver invented yet that can do half as good a job as the simple razor and while with Philips’ SensoTouch is clearly the best of the lot, it too cannot beat a normal razor.

I agree with Nicolle in the quality aspect. To spend R205 on Gillette razors in the long run will benefit you than to spend R40 on disposable razors when you can only use each one once. So it is worth it to spend that amount of money. I agree Michael they should invent a Gillette electric razor.

But the difference between Gillette razors and normal razors is that they last so much longer. The blades don't go blunt after a few uses. Yet another reason to rather pay once for 1 excellent product than paying 3 times for 1 simply ineffective product.
