    Neolithium I am Canadian, eh

    WOO my new Slim Adjustable mailed Monday morning, should be arriving just around the same time as my blades. I think the shave deities are telling me something. Hopefully my wife will keep stealing my feathers and leave my Voskhods alone.

    I sent out a bunch of International packages today. Got lots more going out in 2 days (will be busy tomorrow so can't do them tomorrow - they are packaged, just won't be able to take them to the post office tomorrow). Only have 13 more cards to package and mail - all to the Netherlands - and this group buy will be done!*

    *I'd like to thank the Germans and the Australians for making it difficult with those huge, long and 6-line postal addresses which I had to write twice - once on the package and once on the customs forms! :happy097:

    Yesterday's SOTD was my first experience witht the Voskhod blade. I was dutifully impressed, and upon further review, extemely impressed at $0.10/blade. Double plus good kudos to Jody for mastering this deal. Jody, were there any no shows/no pays, ? cause I'll
    take up their slack. :signs107:

    All blades have been mailed out. So you folks in Germany, Australia, Brazil, Austria, UK, Ireland, Canada and Netherlands... your blades are now in the hands of the United States Postal Service headed your way. While I do have Customs numbers for proof of mailing, please keep in mind there is no tracking on these and I'm not responsible for them once they've left my hands. Fingers crossed they all make it to their destinations!

    Thanks again everyone for a very successful group buy and fundraiser for The Shave Den! Hope you have many great shaves with these fine Russian blades!

    Thanks a lot Jody, you've done a great job, not only in putting it all together but also in taking the heat that's been generated.

    I am looking forward to the Russian blades I've heard so much about...

    Hi there,

    sent money with PayPal on the 10th of January but still don´t got any Voskhod blades or any message about date of shiping. It is close to seven weeks now since payment which is a lot of time, even for an international shipping to Germany.

    Any news?

    Regards, Amadeus.

    Hi. As was stated in the very first post of this thread, this was a group buy and as such, would be open for a while until most people had an opportunity to get in on it. Then the group buy would be closed, the blades ordered by me and then mailed out by me once I received them from the distributor. The group buy didn't even close until 2 weeks ago. Then I had to wait on the blades to get to me from the distributor. Then I had to mail the blades out to everyone, which was completed this week. I've been posting regular updates. Have you not been following this thread? As you are in Germany and your blades went out with the rest of the International blades, they were mailed just this past Friday, March 02. You should have them within the next 2 to 4 weeks. Thanks.
