Was in my local Boots Opticians which is co-located with the general shop. They have a black Gillette DE Razor plus five blades for five pounds. When I pick up my new glasses I pick one up just because it's five pounds only. Will have a fiver left (just) after paying for my glasses

I would be interested to see a pic of that razor Claus, I wasn't aware Gillette made a black DE razor , at that price is a bargain
Thanks Donnie. They could have been better but I was pushed for time so just used my phone!@BigBruce
And that my friend is how one takes pictures of a new razor! Great pictures, thanks for posting.
According to some, the blades above are the same as the Gillette Platinum blues, which I have used and are excellent.

Will do - I'm pretty sure it was a Gillette, but in budget packaging. Looked at their web site but couldn't find it.@Rotter1
Could it have been the black plastic Wilkinson Sword?Will do - I'm pretty sure it was a Gillette, but in budget packaging. Looked at their web site but couldn't find it.
That's the one - not a Gillette.
Many are giving glowing feedback on the blade; similar to Gillette Platinum many say.Wasn't impressed with the blades that came with it, either.
Great value for money for what is essentially a DE89 head. It has gone back up to £20. Many seem to think it is the Muhle cap with the brass threaded post.For £13.40 you cant knock it, especially as a Muhle is over twice the price.
Morrisons introductory price was £13 about 3 weeks ago. I don't know how long it will remain at that price.
The blades are fantastic from what I hear so that is where they where they will be making the profit; on the future sales of those blades.

My understanding is that they're rebranded Gillette Platinums. Nothing wrong with that as GPs are great blades but there's potential to save a fair bit of money there by buying GPs instead of the KCG blades.
A shave off between the two blades would help confirm this. Anyone interested?
No.Even if on the bizarre chance that the KCG blades are some new "cutting edge" (pun intended) blade they are way over priced. Personally, I think they are indeed repackaged Platinums as that's the blade they sell (at the super inflated price of $5.00 per tuck) in the P&G AOS stores in the USA. The bigger point here that should be seen is why is Gillette using this Platinum as such(?). It is indeed IMO their "flagship" DE blade. Sorry, Polsilver/Wizamet freaks.
You asked for it, you'll get it.
