Great bargain for disposable razors

I have just bought some Gillette razors on Ebay for a great bargain price...200 blades for £47.50, this person also does the ladies sensor blades and some others... check it out. They are called Dreamyant.

Sorry if I offended you mate, but I just thought I should present anyone reading this post with the facts. If you posted what you did and 100 other people went and bought razorblades off ebay witout ever reralizing that they could be fakes I don't think that would be very good.

Must be like the "bargain" AA batteries I bought from Ebay. Cheap Indian rubbish - they only lasted about 2 hours each.

Guys ive just realised ive just bought some fake blades on ebay, im really peeved...

Its the WIlkinson Sword Classic Twin Edge blades I thought I had bought...

http://www.blademail.co.uk/acatalog/...Twin_Edge.html

I bought 5 packs of 10 blades, then emailed the seller asking if I could have 20 packs - she replied and we agreed on £10 plus £3 postage...

I didn't bother checking them as the packaging looked fine and I didnt think people would bother to make fake blades like these as its just a simple double edge safety razor blade, not a more expensive cartridge type blade.

Ive just opened one and compared it to another one I know that is real as my opened pack was bought from boots.

The paper covering the blade smells wierd, isnt quality waxed paper, has dodgy looking ink and the blade does not say Wilkinson Sword

I've sent a message to Wilkinson Sword on their website to see what they say, I said I would email them a picture of the suspected fakes if they give me a contact email and I will also send them a packet of them if they wish.

I will email the seller and ebay once I have a response...Trouble is i've already left the seller feedback. Does anyone know if I can still get something done about it?

nah.. if durex made batteries, they would be pretty good right up to the point when you needed them to work and then they would just burst with energy and then stop when it was getting interesting.

I have bought cheap rechargable batteries off ebay though and they have saved us a small fortune with the kids toys.. and well.. ahem . . toys in general in this house !! It's all down to checking the feedback and making sure they seller is trustworthy.

Alot of these people have good feedback because people leave it before they use the razors. Infact it is evident that most people dont know that fake razors exists.

Oh no I was only joking, sorry if I offended anyone, just making a point that cutting yourself on something that was made in god knows what kind of conditions might be a little dodgy...No doubt they aren't sterile - why would someone making fakes bother with the expense of that...

I think that might be a little offensive to some!








Anyways, I wasn't taking it seriously, my post was in jest I obviously know its pretty unlikely i would catch aids from using them as someone with the virus would have to cut themselves on it and then cut me with it pretty much straight away...I suppose my point was that i'm sure it's not safe using non sterilised blades from god knows where...

Anyway, heres hoping I can get the seller to stop selling them etc
