    I just got in a shipment from http://tryablade.com, a nice site where you can order a custom sampler from a huge variety of blades. And you don't have to buy a whole pack, you can order as few as one blade if you want. I got two of each that I wanted.

    Great way to cheaply try out a bunch of brands you haven't tried before. Shipping is a flat $2. (Not sure about international shipping.) The guy who runs it has impressed me with his quick responses and customer service.

    This guy has the right idea...Why get stuck with blades you don't need...I.M.O. unless you get a dud blade two blades are in general enough to know whether you like a blade or not...:) I will be ordering...:happy088:

    Too bad no SE blade pack but I assume there is just not enough options out there

    I used PayPal and had no problem... Send him a note if you continue to have trouble.

    Suggest it to him, he seems very receptive to feedback!

    I don't see a cart or how to add an item to my cart so I can get a total and pay? Also the site has a PIA drop down that wants me to add abobe to my site...

    So if you click "See All Blades" at The top, you don't have green "Add to Cart" buttons on each item in the list?

    Not sure why it'd ask about Adobe, I don't think the site uses Flash, since it works fine on my phone. What browser are you using?

    Hello everyone, my name is Jason. http://www.tryablade.com is my site. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

    Also, I can ship to the US and Canada at this time. I am working on the a solution for feasible worldwide shipping.

    Are you referring to the Sharks and Derby single edge blades? If so, I can certainly look into carrying those in the future. Any other brands out there, I'm not too familar with the SE blades. I wouldn't have them figured into the sampler pack, but if there is a demand for them, I will certainly put them in the store. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Sorry you are having problems with the site. Are you on a mobile or desktop browser? This this link (http://tryablade.com/blade) for the page all the blades listed. you can click "Add to Cart" or select a quantity for each and it will be added to the cart. The lime green button on the upper right is your cart. Click on that and it will take you to the checkout page. Let me know.

    I'm on a desk top....There is no lime green button anywhere on the page...I have a changable quantity button and the price per blade is listed, but there is no way of buying anything....
    Everytime I change pages to look at a different blade for instance, a banner pops out at the top wanting me to click on the add on "adobe shock wave player" which I will not do and so I have to x out of it to move on futher to see another blade..it does this on every page change to view every razor blade..Very much a PIA...:(

    BasicallyI dislike those pop up or pop down banners and I don't want to do it....If the only way to get the blades is to comply with this banner then I'd rather pass on the blades....

    I didn't write anything in the site code that requires Shockwave, however I did just disable the social network sharing feature with is a service from a third party. See if that fixes the alert for asking you to download Shockwave. I can't replicate the error on my end.

    The pop-ups go away after the download. Adobe is a safe product to use.

    But I'm sure Jason can help you place an order if you email him through his site.

    What is the banner that is showing up have on it? I didn't code for any kind of popup either.

    As Queen of Blades and I stated earlier, I'd be happy to take your order via the contact form on the site and send you an invoice via PayPal.

    Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.
