Apparently, a good supplier of Israeli Super+ and Derby blades is on the web and Ebay. They are encure.com on the web and dssokhey on Ebay. Their pricing is much much better on Ebay. I know that Cotton Blossum Crafts has the best Feather buy. Anyone want to add best source of Gillette Swedes, Merkur and other blades?
Rich, I wish I knew a better source for Swedish Gillettes! auravita.com or The English Shaving Company have been the only places I have seen them, and TESC maybe has the edge in lower shipping costs. If anybody finds a better source for Swedish Gillettes, PLEASE post it! I'd love to know.
Someone also mentioned 7 am blades. Are they any good and where can you get them? I'd still like to know if there are any other good sources of Swedish Gillette if possible.
7 AM I've used 7 AM blades and got a decent shave with them. Usually Howard 1616 on ebay has them, but not as of 15 minutes ago. I got 5 blades when I purchased a Parker 96R from him back in December. Paul
Try them you might like them I am bout to order some sharps from him and I am gonna beg him to send me some. I would like a full report on my desk about the 7am first thing in the Morning say 7 am deadline JoA. :rofl
I like the SHARPs, and don't feel the need to try other blades. No can do on the report. It's my birthday, no work.
Hummmmmmmm Do I be a good boss and give you the day off or Mr. Scrooge ??:rofl Ok Ok If you do ever try them, let me know, BTW your SG's will go out on Monday.
Looks like I got whipped in to my place Me turn down a free blade...............no way send them please BTW Swedish G's at http://www.theenglishshavingcompany.com/cgi-bin/psProdSrch.cgi/@cRazor Blades@b seems to be the place. As for the Merkur's I can not find them for under 5 bucks a pack (50 cents a blade) but their are a wide variety of places to by them on the net.
I'm awaiting arrival of 100 each Sharp and 7 am blades. 100 seems like a large number of blades (to me), so when they arrive I may make some two brand samples up for some of you to try. They both cost right at .13 per blade, so they are priced below Feathers at .25 per blade on sale for 100 blades.
Gave a friend of mine a Merkur HD for x-mas. He doesn't realize that the addiction is setting in. He just called me and asked me about Dorco blades. I just sent him a sampler: 20 Derbys 20 IP's 15 Merkurs 10 Wilkinson Sword 7 Feathers 5 Swedish Gillettes ( oh wait, I took those out of the package before I sent it to him)
