Britain’s 10 Most Shoplifted Items
Comments: 7
Not surprisingly razor blades (especially Gilette’s hideously overpriced Mach 3) are number 1.
Razor blades Britain’s most nicked items
smh.com.auThere’s a small chance, however, that within the criminal community exists a band of well-fed, well-clothed operators, with good oral hygiene and no vitamin deficiencies, all attained without the hassle of living a middle-class life.

I used to pilfer razor blades and batteries for my Walkman from my local mini mart in Higashi-Jujo. But I had begun to enjoy myself in Japan and thought I might want to stay awhile. Fortunately, I came to my senses. It would have been embarrassing beyond words to have to explain to my job and girlfriends why I was being escorted to the airport by men with little slinky lodged in their ears.

interesting you should point out gillette blades. actually,among all the top products being pilfered, gillette has 3 product ranges among the top: blades; batteries (gillette owns duracell); and oral b products (gillette owns oral b as well). from shop placement of these items, i would surmise these are all being stolen from display placements near the check out cash register.

I use Gillette’s Mach3 Turbo, they’re even more expensive but I wouldn’t even consider using anything else.

I use the new Gillette M3 vibrating razor and it makes me sick to my stomach to purchase $16 replacement blades every 2 months. My friend, who claims to be an expert on shaving becasue he shaves his head, recommended a product call Edgesaver to extend blade life. He claims it works very well but want to get some other opinions. Has anyone used this prodcut? If yes, please email me and provide feedback on performance. -Mike J

do you pilferbecause these guys (gillette) price it too high? no one says that it is a reason to pilfer or nick,.
i think these guys reduced the quality of mach3 now to sell mach 4 at a higher price, do you feel the same? let me know your views

I’m using Gillete March III and it gives me such a smooth shave.
