If you go with Amazon dont forget the subscribe option to save another $2.63 to bring the total to $14.87 for 8 blades.
Looks like there are a lot of knockoffs being sold through Amazon resellers based on the feedback. I assume these are legit and will be giving them a close inspection.

knock off at Amazon come from 3rd party sellers. Blades sold by Amazon are real

I had a coworker burst my bubble when I told him I bought blades online (eBay). He mentioned the chance that they might be counterfeit, so I started to research it online, and found it was alot more common than I thought...Everytime I nick myself with one of them while shaving, it always makes me have my doubts as to whether or not their real.... Here is an interesting website about it...

as far as I can tell, the moisture strip is a different color. It says on the back of the pack "All gillete fusion blades are compatible with all gillette fusion razors", or something like that. I haven't been able to tell any difference.
People who uses Mach 3 should move up to these Fusions. They will last twice as long as the Mach 3 and cut your shaving time down. So cost wise, they do cost more but last longer so its the same cost at the end.
Buy 3 (8packs) + Get One Free = 3 x $23.99 = $71.97 - $17.99 (25% Bing CashBack) = $ 53.98 + Free Shipping
32 cartridges for $53.98 ($1.69/cartridge)

I used to think these were great, but here's the truth - these are a ripoff. Sure, they are good for a shave or two, but the quickly wear out, just like any other blade after a couple uses, which can leads to nicks, etc.
At $2-$4 a blade, it's just throwing away money.
Disposable triple blades work just as well (there's a Mach 3 one, plus others), at a fraction of the cost.

And a good having gel does wonders as well.
I disagree. I used to think the same thing, but I've completely changed my mind. I've been using my fusion now for about 2 1/2 years, and I get about 6 months+ on each blade (with everyday shaving). Last week I went on Vaca, and I brought a triple blade disposable with me. Wound up cutting myself with the new disposable 3 times in a week, and the shave wasn't nearly as close as my 5 month old fusion blade.
Make sure they are real, lots of fake cartridges are being sold.
Personally I switched to a safety razor and have never looked back. Give it a try, if you pick up a used safety razor you'll always be able to resell it for about what you paid. Nice razors can be had for 10 cents or less if you buy in bulk. There's something very satisfying about shaving with a safety razor.

They are a little more, but worth it IMHO... I don't know about 6 months, but I have a pretty light and soft beard, and get enough time of of each that I can't usually remember when I last changed it. -Definitely worth the price.
Hmm ... do people realize that you can get a Fusion razor w/ 1 (power) or 2 (manual) blades from $0 to $3 AR and/or AC at CVS or Rite Aid (and probably Walgreens)? They seem to have deals every month. I pick up the current deal while I'm "buying" other things and have accumulated what seems to be a lifetime supply of razors and blades over the past several years.
