Bong, lets just keep pushing the snow their way. I am glad to hear you warmed up a little, same goes for here. Dom, where are you buying your Astra Superiors?
Only problem is it's raining in them hills, now the massive amounts of snow we got last weeks is melting and causing flooding. I'll see if I can find the link. but I think it was for 1k of them. Matt, I sent your box today, but sent it parcel post so you should get it next week.Among other things there is a slant and an old type in there.
+1 Here's the thread Here's the store 100 @ $20 EDIT: or see Sol's post...above...again.... Thanks Bong. I'll keep an eye out. Having an Old in my hands will help me figure them out for sure....
Thanks for the links guys. I don't really need any more blades, I just got 200 feathers in the mail today. But then again maybe I should stock up
Tracy, have you tried lathering the SC you got from Paul yet? Granted I only tried one, but the Astra Superior was very BurnWoody for me, didn't impress me.
Didn't do a practice lather, there isn't enough there for that. Only enough for 2 maybe 3 shaves. Gonna give a go tomorrow. Might bust out the sledgehammer for that one.
Recording 2 episodes tonight. They'll be the first episodes I've seen of the newer Doctor Who. Pretty much haven't seen hardly any Doctor Who since the Fifth Doctor. :ashamed001
You only got a sample??? I thought you didn't do samples and went all out. Jump in with 2 feet and all that.
Ahh young grasshopper you listen wisely. Actually Paul from Connaught chimed in on those posts in this thread and offered to send me a sample for free. I, of course, can't turn down free stuff. If it is good I have every intention of ordering a full size container.
I remember Paul saying that too, I was just giving you grief. I don't know why he didn't offer to send me any samples when I got the truckload of blades from him just a week earlier. Not complaining though, I got a great price on them buying in bulk.
The only downfall to the sample is the size. It is pretty hard to get a good feel for something with only 2 or so shaves, plus it doesn't leave any room for trial and error. I usually practice lather all of my stuff to get a feel for water ratios, etc, but won't get to with this.
