    10 Feather
    5 Derby
    10 Rapira SS
    10 Treet Classic
    5 Super-Max Blue Diamond
    5 Super-Max Super Platinum
    5 Super-Max Titanium
    5 Personna Platinum
    5 Gillette Silver Blue (out of production)
    5 Gillette 7 O'Clock (Blue)
    5 Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus
    5 Racer SS
    5 Perma-Sharp Super
    5 Astra Superior Platinum
    5 Shark SS
    5 Bic Chrome Platinum

    If you are fairly new to DE shaving, have not yet tried most of these blades and can provide a Canadian address for me to send them to then please include an "I'm in" in your reply. The winner will be chosen at random from all entries posted by 6:00pm (mountain time) tomorrow July 15. Winner will be announced in this thread and contacted via PM. Thanks for playing.

    Great PIF! I'll pass since I love my Astra SP's and don't want to fall in love with a more expensive blade. Hopefully someone else can find a favourite with this assortment.

    I've been lurking around since I bought a Lord LP1822 razor last month. Still learning how to use it. Haven't tried any other blades than the Blue Bird's provided with the razor. As I understand it, other brands of blades could be better (or worst) for me.

    I'm in !

    You are very welcome Cobre. Your blades are packed and the envelope is addressed and stamped. I'll put it in the mail tomorrow.
    I hope you'll get some great shaves with many of these blades and maybe even find a favourite or two among them.

    Yeah, sorry about that. After I posted this PIF I had second thoughts about the short time frame and realized I should have made it longer. Sorry to you and any others who may have wanted a chance at this one didn't see it in time. Next time I won't be so hasty.
