100 Pack of Feathers for $25.99?

**KodiakAttack** · 06-13-2012, 04:18 PM

I saw a listing on amazon for 100 Feather blades for only $25.99, so I had to bite.
That seems incredibly cheap, and its coming from a seller with reviews, so we'll see what actually shows up on my doorstep (assuming something actually arrives).
They said they only had 2 available, so i figured id post it here to see if anyone would jump on it like it did!
Cheers.

seems like a good price, my feather supplier is Dr.Idiot

Very good price. I probably would have bit too.

I think you still can bite... unless someone else bought it already.

He does, but I backed out. I visited sellers profile, turns out he is new and there is no feedback, he is also selling a 200 pack for 79.99. I just got a little cautious all of a sudden. There have been threads in the past here that were discussing counterfeit blades. I am fairly sure these are fine blades, but I think I will hold off. Please let me know what you think of them.

The size of the overall package looks like it would have to be filled with 5 packs, photo show yellows though which are the ten packs. I don't know if the overseas markets get different packaging, but I am not sure.

I will definitely update this thread when i receive them, im as curious as you are!

**brucered** · 06-13-2012, 05:28 PM

i've ordered ebay blades from new guys starting out, rock bottom prices, they sell them to get good feedback quick.

no issues with the ones i've purchased (i think they were Astras)

**KodiakAttack** · 06-13-2012, 05:33 PM

Astras are already pretty rock bottom. The other day I bought a pack of 100 for around $8, about as much as I've spend on a pack of 10 Merkurs. No, I'm not actively preparing for the shave-ocolypse.... I own a barbershop and run the retail part of the shop.

FWIW I see a lot of these deals, but as soon as a few people buy the low-cost sellers out the deal is over. Look at the past threads, this happens a lot.

**KodiakAttack** · 06-13-2012, 05:51 PM

Yeah seeing as the seller only has 2 available, i assume its a one time thing.

Just order them from dridiot. $30 shipped for 100 and they will show up (only a few bucks more). He is a reputable seller here and I have ordered form him as well.

I think i'll do that. It will be weeks before this order arrives, and I'm curious to see if theyre legitimate.

Yes, they are 5 packs not 10 packs but thats okay with me.

**eizan70** · 07-02-2012, 12:16 PM

Nice. I was a bit confused about the pic, when shopping. I thought that the 5 packs came in the black and silver box, that is where my hesitation came in. Enjoy, that is a great deal.

**KodiakAttack** · 07-02-2012, 12:19 PM

I guess its about the same deal as Dr. Idiot, shipping cost $5 so it was $30.45ish after its all said and done. Next time ill probably order from Dr. Idiot and save on shipping time!

OK so im not an expert on Feather blades by any means, but im finally starting to branch out and try new ones. This post is regarding the pack that I purchased (above) and i couldnt help but notice that the packaging is a tad off from other photos ive seen. Take a look at the feather logo. is this normal? at first glance it looks normal but its far different from others ive seen. i also got a terrible shave using these. not sure if they are just too sharp for my skin and hair type, as ive heard they work wonders on thick beards. Did i buy a knockoff?
