Thread: Boots or Superdrug

Which shop do you prefer to get your cosmetic goods from such as medicine, contact lenses solutions, toothpaste and shaving items. I have found Super drug to be cheaper than Boots even with their loyalty cards.

Why are razor blades for Gillette so expensive.

Superdrug is usually cheaper, but Boots does win out with their 3 for 2 offers sometimes.

Saying that, neither can hold a candle to Home Bargains which is far cheaper than both of them.

All razor blades seem to have got ridiculously expensive. It's weird like a conspiracy to make non hirsute men grow beards.






I have just realized there are no emoticons with beards. That is beardist.

I've had a single disposable razor that has somehow lasted a month. Think the dry shaving helps.

We have Walgreens here, 24 hr pharmacy needs and grocery and or beer.

Razor blades suck. The most I can get out of them is 10 days. Don't shave for several days and then shave and you find a blade is spent in a single effort.

They are one and the same to me.

Never go in either, they both have a funny smell to them. A bit like perfumed sick people.

Beanz £8 plus for 4 blades for a bit of plastic and metal, what Rip off.

How about this guy?

Was in tesco the other week, they had the new Gillette ProGlide on offer, the upgrade from the Mac3 turbo. I thought rather than pay £8 for some blades for my Mac3 I would buy this instead. Got to say it's the best razor yet ! well worth the purchase. I must shaved at least 5/6 times so far with it, and the blades are still razor sharp! Would recommend to anyone !

Bloody hell it's Billy Gibbons!

Boots every time, I though Superdrug was more expensive the pharmacy there certainly is.

I ditched the loyalty card bc every time I went there I bought the same items, bics (single disposable razors), soap and condoms.

I prefer to stick to bic razors or any single blade disposable razor, once you get used to those fusion or whatever marketing garbage razors gillette sell, you start shaving like an imbecile.

When you switch back your face is often cut all over.

I stick to a single blade razor and shave properly nowadays, I bought an open razor (disposable blades), but do not have the patience or time to use it.

Wilkinsons can be good for toiletries, or any other supermarket.

That is true Home Bargains is cheaper but closed around where we are.

Watch out for the 3 for 2, they are a con, Superdrug work out better value.

Every time I buy an expensive blade they stop making them. Also thought it easier and hygienic if I used the disposable cheaper ones. I hate shaving so clean shave Monday, Goatee Wednesday and Moustache and chin beard Friday.
