BOSTON —Three Massachusetts men have been indicted on charges they sold more than $200,000 worth of stolen Gillette brand razor blades on eBay.

Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz says 51-year-old Robert Liberatore, of Wakefiel,; 43-year-old Mark Girardin, of Randolph, and 62-year-old Joseph Evangelista, of Lowell, were arrested Monday on suspicion of conspiracy to transport stolen property interstate.

Prosecutors say Evangelista stole the razor blades while employed at Gillette, based in Boston, and gave them to Liberatore and Girardin, who sold them on eBay under the business name "Cambridge Dedicated Services." Prosecutors say they sold $208,944 in razor blades from February 2011 to August 2011.

My regular gillette blades last me months. dry them thoroughly after each shave, prevents rusting on the edges which makes them dull. some people even keep them in oil after shaving.

Bravo. $200K worth of stolen razor blades is a major crime and since blades are overpriced, maybe $200K worth of blades can replace the old blades on fifteen or so razors. I try to make each blade last 6 months.

[butlerweave]

how many was that? like 12-15 razors?

ya that’s about right ,LOL

Nice.

There’s a CVS a couple of miles away, heading out now.

Thanks.

$200,000 worth of razor blades must be about two cases based on what stores are charging for Gillilette blade refills.

Probably Patriots fans. Keeping up with the Belichick’s and his boss.
They must have stolen Brady's. That would explain his hairy visage.

I’m a DSC member, and it’s a gem. For years, I’ve spend at least $50 a month on Gillette razors.

I use Harry's, which is similar to DSC. However, I still have some unopened Gillette MicroTracs, the best disposable ever made by anybody. I have eight left, the light brown ones from 1985.

Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades. 84 blades for $15.50. Each blade good for at least 3 shaves.

These guys are pikers. A woman at the Las Vegas Water District bilked it out of 6.7 million dollars by buying ink cartridges as the District purchasing agent. She had the cartridges sent to her office and then resold them to a fake company which resold them.

Yup, and it is making a comeback.

I started shaving with a double edge safety razor almost 2 years ago and am loving it!

Just how many blades do you need? I’m so old I remember SNL doing a joke ‘commercial’ for a razor blade with 5 blades. Now they are a reality.
