I think there was a thread on this a while ago but can't remember the seller. Have you got the sellers ID, honeymonster?

Ditto.

I asked about cheaper blades before if anyone's interested (or can add to the suggestions). [Linky]

Good luck with the blades. I hope they're the real deal and you don't get (razor) burned.

I got 5 packs of 4 from an Ebay seller from the Uk and so far have only used couple of boxes and every single blade so far was great....Only cost me €21-23 delivered.

I bought Mach 3 blades (non turbo) blades from http://www.perfumeireland.combefore and they were perfect. Only seem to have turbo ones now.

I got some ones cheap off ebay. Most seem ok (not as good a normal mach 3, but still usable) but in one instance the middle blade actually popped out during shaving

yeah, that could be a sore dose!
That's why I don't really want to use e-bay.

Anyone with a genuine good experience of e-bay blades?

I got 5 boxes of mach three super turbo power:D (cant remember the name, but they are the green ones that vibrate) from ebay, got the genuine ones for about €24. Looked through my ebay account but cant find the guy that sent them to me. Id say just look at their feedback before you buy and that will tell you if they are fake or n ot

Seems like there is quite a saving to be made on eBay. Just over €20 for 20 blades.

Surely if I buy some off someone with a decent feedback score I should be okay?

Not necessarily, because it can take awhile to notice that they are fake. Most people probably give feedback before they use them.

Can you recommend any sellers apart from the one above or is it not worth risking then?

Hmmm, does not post with cardboard packaging, simply the plastic cartridge with the blades in.

Fake I think. could be good enough fakes but then good enough blades are probably the same price in the shops.

That link to determine fakes is down. I take it if there's no box it's a fake. Might give buying off eBay a miss so, unless someone can recommend someone.

Can't find that joeldickinsons seller either.

I think the Mach 3 Turbo blades are overpriced and make a marginal difference.

He's all out of Mach 3. He is only selling four packs of the fusion which isn't really worth it. I'll check back on him again though, cheers.

The razor has 2 free blades with it, so the pack has 6 blades and a razor for 12.99, Dunnes Stores also have this offer.

I got 'em in Tesco for the same price. Didn't realise there was TWO blades with the razor until I read your post. I've only opened the pack of blades yet. Must get another pack tomorrow.
