Yes, Gillette are expensive, even in a sale, they ain't cheap, but are they worth it? YES, oh god, yes. I do t get much of a beard or stubble, but what I do produce, it quite rough. That brand with an H, is ok, great value, but when I need a full and proper shave, I get the GMan out. The exfoliating system works the best ever. I've gone from single blades to the 5 blades and pretty much all in-between, and these are great. No good for the fussion handle due to the way they look. I stopped fussion after trying this method. I use a different brand of gel, but these blades are the best a man can get. I've tried both types of electric shaver, and they just pull. I've tried the other big name, but get a rash and lots of missed bits. These since moving over, are the best I can't recommend any higher. I know they're expensive, but last well, and right til the end, you get a proper and full shave. If I went to buy a Merc, it's cos it's the best car, we'll meet the Merc of razors.
