    I may not show any fidelity with razors or shaving brushes, but I have completely sold out to Derby blades as my "one and only". After trying about 8 - 10 different blades in the initial stages of my wet shaving career, I had settled on Derby and Feather, but, alas, as much as I wanted to like the Feathers, they just weren't working for me. So, I sold the 245 I had left, and I ordered another 500 Derbys to bring my grand total to about 1100 -- which means I should be good until 2029. :happy102

    Nope. I either threw my few packs of derbys in the garbage or sent them out with some noob kits. I'm not much for commitments.

    Thanks for the warning -- I will start changing blades more often than once a week! ;)

    Why doesn't this surprise me? :think002

    Because it takes a real blade to cut these wire whiskers. Thats how I claim my woman at parties. The one with scratches all over her face and red around the mouth? Yeah, thats mine. Curtusy of the 5 o' clock shadow.

    I think the world of the Derbys now, in fact, they are among my favorite blades.

    Nice Rick,

    So far Derbys and Feathers were my favorites....I am really liking the Red Personas though......

    and I picked up a few others to try out :)

    I can't believe you have 1100 Derbys baldes in stock :D Well done :cool:

    I love the Russian 7 O'Clock's in my d/e razors,but the blade that has surprised me is the Gem Personna stainless s/e. These things turn a cheap Gem or Ever Ready into a superb shaver.I've found that after a year of traditional wet shaving that the s/e razors shave as close as a d/e with a lot less irritation.ymmv.:D
