    It all works out in the end! I hope you like them. The razor seems kind of cool...

    Hey, Paul and Justin,

    I hope you don't ever become discouraged to the point that you discontinue the Great Blade Exchange. It is thanks to your efforts that I found "The Blade." What is needed is a way for more members to know about this program, but I don't know what more could be done. It is the top sticky in the blade forum.

    Again, thank you.

    David

    My mileage does vary.

    I'd like to try:


    2 Gillette Platinum
    2 Gillette Rubie
    2 Perma-Sharp Super
    2 Rapira Platinum Lux
    2 Rapira Stainless
    2 Treet Black Beauty
    2 Vidyut
    2 Voshkod

    In exchange for:
    2 Astra SS

    2 Feather (Yellow)
    2 Personna Red
    2 Lord SS (White)
    2 Lord SS (White/Blue)
    2 Lord SS (White/Green)
    2 Personna Med
    2 Rainbow
    2 Bic Chromium
    2 Super Max Platinum

    And to donate:

    2 Astra SS
    2 Personna Red
    2 Lord SS (White)
    2 Lord SS (White/Blue)
    2 Lord SS (White/Green)
    2 Rainbow
    15 Big Ben (10 Purple and 5 Blue)

    Astra SS were my first bulk blade purchase, Feathers second, haven’t tried Personna Red, the Lord’s I find similar to Sharks (good shave, nothing special), Rainbows were just a meh blade (YMMV), and I hated the Big Bens, but figured someone else might want to give them a shot.

    Does this sound ok? I know it’s kind of a big order, let me know of any changes that should be made.

    Thanks!

    Tom, do you have pairs of the blades you have to trade or singles?

    I received the blades requested except for Bolzanos and have tried the following:
    Personna meds- great sharp blade, definitely moves into my top 3 along with the Feather and Supermax Platinum Plus
    Super Max Super Platinum- not as sharp as the Super Max Platinum Plus. I don't know why everyone raves about this blade.
    Thanks again for the exchange.

    Personna Red
    Shark SS
    Sharp (cant remember which type)

    GEM PFTE SE blades

    and I will check my blade stach to see if I have any more to send as well.

    Thanks

    We are out of the Kai's and we do not accept blades in dispensers unless they are a donation for future pifs.

    Take off the Gillette 7'O Clock blacks please. I was able to grab some on the cheap. So do you not want any of the Gem Personna SE blades? I don't mind sending them as donation for future pifs.

    We will take blades in a dispenser as a donation just not as a trade. Justin will get with you on the trades soon.

    Hi all,

    As winner of plpenn's amazing PIF, I agreed to post my thoughts. When I got the goods I was on a test to see how long I could last with a SI, so I haven't gotten around to the blades quite yet. Starting next shave I will though.

    I did however get a chance to use the 3 piece blue handled razor. I will preface my mini-review by saying I only did a 2-pass, and I was on shave 5 with the SI. So take this with a grain of salt.

    The razor comes in around 38-39 g, definitely on the lighter side, and something I wasn't used to. The lightest razor in my arsenal is a Flair Tip, which weighs a good 20 g more. I have read a bit on those who start with entry level razors like the Feather Popular, Lord L6, Concord, etc, whose weights are also light, and I knew I was going to have to apply some pressure. Keeping this in mind, I worked up a good lather with TOBS Shaving Shop cream, and went to town. It gave a good shave, easily SAS, but it just left something lacking. I'm used to the quality and luxury of good craftmanship, and this razor didn't leave me feeling super happy about my shave. It did the job, but it wasn't enjoyable. YMMV.

    Does anyone know anything about this razor?

    Pics of the haul attached.
