P&G's target audience

[Itzflame002]

Hello from the godforsaken country of jordan, where a 100 pack of Nacets costs JOD 3 ($4.20) and are available verywhere ,from the corner store all the way up to brick-and-mortar Carrefour.
Where also feather blades are available on the shelves (for some reason)for JOD 0.25 ($0.35) per 5

Long time lurker on B&B and r/wicked_edge I've been fascinated by how different prices can be internationally. I have been DE shaving for a year thanks to B&B and l will never go back to Mach-whatever.

Here's my SOTD, i hope I'm doing this right because I'm new to forums and this is way harder to navigate than reddit,Lol.

Razor: Lord 625-2
Blade: Nacet
Brush: no name synthetic
Lather: arko cool
Aftershave: nivea fresh kick
Balm: arko cool

Welcome! And kudos for having a steady supply of Nacets!

AFAIK, Gillette's target audience is everyone.

Im so glad Nacets work wonders for me because they're literally the only kind available In bulk! I've seen some astra greens, big bens, and the almost unheard of Kleens around but that's about it!

IKR! I buy them in bulk so they cost me $0.7 a peice, a real steal!

Welcome to B&B. Wait...THERE'S AN ARKO COOL!?!?! Adios G.R.U.M.E. and G.R.U.Y.E.R.E. I'm only human after all.

Welcome! A couple of shops in my city sell a decent selection of blades, but not in bulk unfortunately.

Perhaps a blade exchange needs to be worked out. $7.00 for 100 Feather blades is unheard of in th USA.

Welcome, @Itzflame002 !

I‘m sorry to read your country only has one choice of bulk blades, but am thankful it’s Nacet.

For all i know they could be counterfeit or not the real deal (all though they cut me up pretty often so that's on brand),the store has one sleeve maybe two every time i look behind the cashier where they keep all DE blades,so i don't think they sell in bulk, but they definitely sell 20 ( 4 packs) for JOD 1 ($1.3), idk how they do it

It's not as mentholated as you'd think (unlike the balm, ouch), it doesn't feel cold at all TBH, it smells nice and lasts forever though.

The green one has the actual menthol, the Cool is in the maritime/sporty league.

That's interesting,i never find the green one here, I've only come across the orange and blue ones,it is weird that the blue aftershave has all the menthol

See, I can’t find the aftershaves here

Where also feather blades are available on the shelves (for some reason)for JOD 0.25 ($0.35) per 5

Where I live, a pack of 200 Feather blades costs 65 EUR (or 1.625 EUR for a 5 pack, if we do the math). I would assume the delta comes from the cost of distribution (warehouse, transportation, customs management, handling, etc.). It is likely that the ones you buy are genuine.

Welcome to the B&B, many would be thrilled to find Nacets for that price.
