What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Thank you, i have tried a couple so far and liked them. My blade testing is giving bad results. So Im sticking with astras for a while Untill i get better technique =)

 

Just joking. ( I had to type that beforeI forget)

 

It will. It will sting just a little bit on the places you did good on and punish you where you put to much pressure on the razor =P When I started I was prone to put pressure on the razor, I did not have a good time hahaha

 

Omelmad, yeah too much pressure is the main thing I am having problems with. Still can't get past the thinking of trying to get things done it one pass like I did with cartridges. Old habits die hard with this, that is for sure!

 

200 Tomac hospital grade DE blades

 

Are you collecting blades? =P

 

Seems that way since I already have 200 of these same blades. Based on the patent number on the blades, these are actually Gillette Spoiler blades. This batch I bought to give away 100 as a birthday gift to a buddy in a couple of weeks and the other hundred holding as a Christmas gift.

 

Smart guy =) why not right?

 

I'm waiting on a Dubl Duck Special No.1, Gillette Silver Blue (5), Gillette Sharp Edge (5), Polisilver Super Iridium (5), and Maggard Razors Fougère Sauvage. I waited til the last minute for "No Buy July" they should both be here Thursday.

 

You're on the list for July buddy

Snuck in one more order before No Buy July. Ordered a couple of Stirling's new alcohol-based splashes, I got Bay Rum and Black Pepper Lime, plus a couple bath soaps.

 

And so we're seeing the end of the June, pre-July Abstinence, buying frenzy….

 

I got 30 blades en route and a Gem razor...I think this was a clog pruf. Either way I'm set for a while may just stock up on blades in August/September

 

A couple purchases I made just days before signing up for No Buy July:
- Norpro dip warmer. The econo scuttle!
- Omega Pro 49 boar brush. My first boar brush...I had to know.

 

What am I waiting for? August! Then No-buy-July will be over and I can order again!

No BUY JULY—but this bad boy will be arriving within the week from Glen's shop.

 

Nice, really like the scales on that brute. What the width on this bad boy almost looks like a meat cleaver
