Like a number of others I've been using these for years and still have my original "handle."Unfortunately, I can't afford the price of these blades as I tend to get through one blade a week.This is the only razor/blade combination that I've found will do that awkward area just below the nose, which is an area I can't access to with any other I've tried, even turning the razor upside down etc.I've also tried the cheaper "subsitute," versions from various places and the only one that comes close are those you could get in Sainsbury's..The Tesco ones are way too bulky for the above mentioned problem..Sainsbury's, seem to have stopped producing them..so perhaps I should've gotten a massive stock load in.So,

I've used Gillette Contour Plus Cartridges for as long as I can remember. They definitely give me a close shave with only a very occasional 'nick' to my skin. They're available in most stores where I live, but I decided to have a look at the deals in my favourite online store (Amazon). Found a company who were selling the product at a sensible price, and accordingly I bought two packs of 10. If the product remains sensibly priced I'll buy again, and again, and again. If not I'll look elsewhere after all its a free market economy...supply and demand.

These are damn durable blades. I switched in around 2001 from plain "Contour" blades as they were becoming hard to find on the high street.I use them a few times a week for armpit & leg hair removal, followed by shaving the hard skin & corn off my feet, and still each blade lasts me around 2 months (long after the white strips have worn away). I just don't feel like switching to a new (micro-)style of blade when I know these are great and the original handle is probably going to last another 15 years.

Way cheaper than the 5 blade (or is it now 6 or 7 blade?) offerings from Gillette and Wilkinson Sword. And just as effective at shaving close and smooth. However, have been finding these Gillette Contour Plus harder and harder to find on the High Street. I suspect Gillette are persuading retailers to avoid stocking them in favour of the vastly more expensive multi-blade cartridges. So it's been really good to find these original twin blade cartridges via Amazon.

Have been using these Razors from the age of 17, I am now 54. They are becoming increasingly harder to get hold of as they don't seem to be held in stock in most supermarkets/chemists. I am pleased to see that for the moment they are readily available online. They give a close shave and unlike many of the multi-bladed razors of today can get close under your nose. Highly recommended if you can manage to get hold of a handle. A+++++++++

I have been using these blades for years and they really suit me. It is a pity that they are no longer being stocked in the local supermarkets. Is this product being discontinued after all these years? I fear so and I have just bought a year's supply. I do not know what I will do when I finally run out of these blades. The latest products appear to have been designed by Sweeney Todd. Who needs five blades apart from demon barbers?

Though these are originally made for Gillette wet razors, this particular model ALSO fits the Wilkinson Sword "Kompakt" razor, and these blade cassettes store in the handle 'magazine" of the Kompakt, just like the originals.Perhaps not quite the same as more modern 5 and 6-blade shavers, thes twin-bladed units still give a smooth and comfortably close shave. Buy 'em while you can...

I started using these in the 80s and still have my 2 original handles. Since then I have occasionally tried other razors with 4 blades etc. They often cut me and I can't get a decent shave. I always go back to my contour plus. Te are becoming hard to find and even then, around £9 so £4 delivered is excellent. A pack of 10 will last me around 4 months shaving every other day.

These blades appear to me to be genuine Gilette Contour blades, which are not avilable in UK shops any longer, so far as I know. Gillette sell much more expensive and complicated razors, but they don't cut more beard off. There are cheaper Contour imitations available, but I find them more difficult to fit on to my old Contour razor, and a liitf;le less sharp.

I've been using this blade since I can remember! Nothing else is comparable in my view. I can't understand why it's so difficult to get these days; neither can I understand why blades are so expensive! Anyway, I hope Gillette continue to make these, as anything else I've been forced to use in the past just don't come up to the mark.

I bought three packs in 2016 for £6 Plus pennies a pack of 10. I have one blade left ( I shave twice a week at most, rarely three times but it's been known) NOW they are nearly £14 a Pack of 10....... Am I Poor or just a mean old git? BUT even though £14 is a quarter of my weekly income I am going to save up and buy a pack

I ordered these blades & they were delivered within the estimated times for delivery. The contour plus give a much better shave that the over priced tripple & quadruple headed blades that I've never found satisfactory! The only shave better than the contour plus, is by the old type single bladed razors or a cut throat!

shaves very smooth and narrow profile goes into corners easily, much better than wider and multi bladed and bulky shavers, this one has only two blades but is narrow, and very low profile, there just isn't another comparable shaving blade and a shaver handle to this original design.

Contour blades are not to be found in a shop now, so thank you to those online vendors who sell them. As written elsewhere, these are brilliant, made-to-last razors, and the blades click on or off easily. I have had my razor for - ahem - over forty years. So... I recommend!

Do you really need 4, 5 or more cutting blades to give a clean shave? I have a posh razor with four - and I have a simple 'Gillette Contour plus'. Can I tell the difference? Not really, for its not the number of blades, but the way you shave that sets you apart.
