Fri 10th June - They've got be cheap somewhere!

I thought I’d struck gold today too, with Mach 3 razor blades. Now, we all know that replacement Mach 3 shaving heads are, by weight, the most expensive material on earth. They are good, but they are expensive. I can’t remember exactly but I think it’s about 6 quid or more for a pack of 4 of these things (and the pack weights NOTHING). I found, in a chemist here, a pack of 4 (exactly the same size as the pack of 4 in the UK) for 50,000 Cedi – 3 quid! I was so excited. I told them that if any more stock came in (this was the last pack) then I’d buy it all and take it back to the UK and flog them there. I got it home, ripped it open … and found there were only 2! The other 2 slots where there should have been blades were blanked off! So, that means these things are just as expensive here as in the UK. It was the same story in Serbia. Somehow Gillette have managed to charge the same absolute value in every country in the world!
