    Default Source for Feathers in USA? please suggest

    Out of all the blades I have tried, Feathers are the only ones that do not rough up my neck with my Merkur 34HD.

    Please suggest an affordable US source for Feather blades. There are plenty of foreign sources for them, but would rather not have to import blades.

    I personally haven't seen them for less than $38-40+ in the US (usually without shipping). Hence why when you ask for affordable it's going to not be from the US...

    Feathers are one of my favorite blades too, but I've accepted the fact that if I want to buy them from a US vendor they're gonna cost me around $40/100 blades.

    You might want to PM member Pauldog to check if he has any NOS bulk cartons. They are great blades at a great price.

    I got mine from Connaught shaving (UK retailer) the price is better than any US vendor of repute and postage cost as well as transit time are excellent!
    (US$36.44 total price shipped for 100 blades)

    I'm not sure I understand your question ..... they're made in Asia, so they're always going to be imported. If you buy from an American vendor you're just paying a middleman to distribute them for you, you're not adding any value to the transaction.
    Just call me Chris.

    Has to be shipping time, I mean he wrote he didn't want to import them, but that has to be personally unless he doesn't realize there aren't US-made feathers, but that doesn't really make sense.
