cost of shaving razor blade ?

as my friend who is leaving for kolkata to stay a while,
ask to pack his shaving razor blade, for what price can you
pick up a regular razor blade in calcutta, be it gillette or
wilkinson or any other brand ?

Don't know that, but for rs10/20 you can have a wonderful and professional shave at any barber.With rs 50 they give you also a very good head massage.

wilkisnons is cheap..thin u get a pack of 4 blades under 100.... gillete is expensive depending on what you buy...the normal blades are ok and are approx 150 INR but the Mach (no pun intended ) 3 variety is almost 80 bucks a blade or something..

your freind could consider disposalble ones...gillete is around 15 INR i think and wilkinson around 12...

Gillete Vector Plus 65 rupees for a pack of 4.

These are twin swivel blades.

Don't use Mach3, because
a) where will it end? Mach34^354? and
b) I prefer close shaves in other ways

Wilkinson normal Blade is around Rs.2-4 per piece...

Gillette has recently almost halved the prices of Vector plus...earlier a single cartridge used to cost around Rs.16, now its less than Rs.10...

Well, I think it is a better option - this is economical than Aishah's new laser printer .
