Any one tried these (or heard of 'em?)...

Hello to all.

I am fairly new to the world of wet shaving, but the last week has been good. No real disasters, but not getting as close a shave as I want (improvement is incremental, so I can't complain).

Ran across these and was wondering if any one had an opinion:

I have searched the forums here and at SMF, but cannot find any reference.

Thanks for all of the information.

take one for the team and get some blades!

Can't buy directly from that web site, it's set up for dealer distribution only.

Why do you think razor blades and lighters/matches seem to go together?

Someone posted a link to the Derby website previously and I believe those were two product lines also.

I have heard of them, but only as a match company. If anyone knows what "former" blade manufacturer operated a plant in Capetown, we have a clue as to the blade. They apparently acquired the manufacuring operation there.

As it stands they do not currently export to North America...

Anyone wanna start a import biz?

I would "take one for the team" but I have not found these offered for sale (yet :)) Even tried EBAY for G. B. and St. Africa, but had no luck.

Thanks for the replies.
