Toothbrushes are one of the most-nicked items from supermarkets, which might be the reason behind that.


I thought it was razors blades?

According to Encyclopaedia Galactica:

"The human race came to an end during the 21st century in 13 minutes and 27 seconds when WW3 was accidentally started after a researcher at the Atomic Weapons Research facility 'went postal' and 'used something a bit bigger' while trying to get his toothbrush and razor blades out of the plastic packaging during a coffee break".

What's the deal with razor blades!!! It's like 20 pence worth of plastic and metal retailing at ridiculousy high prices!

What??? Some middle eastern country has the biggest razor blade mine in the world!? They're at war? Damn!!! No wonder they're soooo expensive!!!

I have heard razor mines are some of the most dangerous places in the world to work... 8O

Has anyone ever tried buying them online? Surely there must be some way of getting them cheaper????

I think growing a beard is the cheapest option, although itchy as hell.

Bulk buy from Costo? That might work.

Personally, I buy the Asda own-brand triple blade razors. Cost a fraction of yer named brand, and work just as well....

A quick search turned up this ...http://www.d8a.co.uk/cheap/gillette-razor-blades.php

but it doesnt look like there are huge savings to be made though.
