I finally gave in today. Confronted with a choice of buying razor blades from Wilkinson Sword at £2.50/blade or Gillette at £2.50/blade, I invested in a Morrison's own brand razor (£3) and a selection of blades (75p/blade).
The Morrisons blades may well turn out to be duds, but I resolved today never again to be fleeced by that male grooming duopoly/cartel. I've never understood how they get away charging so much for such a simple product. I'll keep you posted.
One month (& 30 pages) on from my original message, I'm happy to report that the Morrison's blades are fine. I've been changing them every two weeks, and the moisturising strip actually lasts longer than the Gillette or Wilkinson Sword equivalents. I'm just annoyed that it's taken me so many years to realise that I was being fleeced by the Big Two. |

I bought some blades for my Gillette Sensor this week and realised that I have had the same razor since I was 18, so my razor is 22 years old (and Gillette are still churning out the blades for such an antiquated piece of kit!).

I think that's the business text book definition of 'cash cow'.  |

And that's why, like printer ink, they've transferred the cost onto the consumables.

Some kid called me old today. Well, he asked me to buy him alcohol and he must have been about 14 so I told him I had no ID and he said "yeah but you's like well old." Is this the beginning of a slippery slope  |

This shouldn't annoy me as much as it does but it really bugs me when I see people using the wrong knives for a specific job in the kitchen.
My wife just made me a bacon sarnie which I am great full for but she then proceeds to butcher it with a butter knife to cut it in half.
