Pass-Around, Essence by Tedalus Edition

It's that time again. The 4th of July. I start getting all patriotic and feeling old at the same time. In honor of the American Revolution, a new revolutionary razor that will redefine the concept of a shavette style razor is on offer.

If you've never used a shavette before, I encourage you to give this one a try. It's easier to learn on than most, and is one of the most forgiving designs out there.

@Manumik made these. Essence by Tedalus

What's included:
Original packaging- box and shipper
Essence by Tedalus disposable blade straight razor
18 Feather Professional blades

(Edit: IBC razor now included in pass-around)

Up to 18 lucky members will get to try this razor. Due to the expensive nature of the razor, 1k posts and 2 year forum membership as well as having participated in either the traveling box or other passarounds are required to sign up for this one. PIF or passaround hosts are also welcome. One Blade per participant. Participants can add other brands and styles of blades to the passaround if they want. One to two weeks per user.

Conus Only. For now.

I would like to get a leg shaver's review, so @Queen of Blades and @Sara-s are also encouraged to participate, pretty please with cherry on top?

Razor is scuffed already, from the mean things I did to it. (Edit: I stress tested it). You can't hurt it. The USPS couldn't hurt this razor, except by losing it.

Passaround starts when my current blade gets dull. I think I'm on my 3rd shave.

If you choose to use DE blades, which I recommend you try at least once, (though not for the leg shavers), I recommend to stick to the known "sharp" blades. Feather, Polsilver, Gillette Silver Blues, Personna med preps, etc.

 

Or PIF's? I find that hard to believe. You may enter. And it's not exactly a PIF, unless you count the single souvenir blade, which is yours to keep.

 

Knowing the expensive nature of this razor, I'd suggest requiring each person to include USPS insurance for the appropriate amount in their shipping to the next person cost. This would be an additional $5.50 for $400 insurance, if I'm reading the insurance fees page correctly.

 

All right. Extra insurance required. I apologize for the added cost. Still feel this is an opportunity that should not be missed.
