Toothpick,

I quit hunting for better or different blades and have settled on a few reliable ones I like. I would like to donate my excess sampler blades to the Exchange as a thank you to everyone for the helpful tips I have learned here over the last few years. (I lurked before joining and posting.)

I have 100+ blades from 19 or 20 makes.

Where do i send them? I live in Canada btw.

[MENTION=112933]Screwtape[/MENTION] just curious is your username by chance a reference to "the screwtape letters" by C.S Lewis?

Yes. The first bulletin board I ever joined, back in the Dark Ages before the Web, was mainly about books and everybody seemed to use anonymous usernames rather than their own names. Moreover, it seemed like they were all literary references of some kind. It was late, I was sitting at my desk trying to think of a nickname, and I saw my copy of that book on the shelf above me ... I've used screwtape as a username on most sites for over 20 years now.

Actually as I have gotten older, the name has seemed to become more appropriate. As a cunning, wily senior devil in the bureaucracy of Hell, Screwtape's personal motto seems to be "Age and treachery will overcome youth and enthusiasm"...

That's an awesome username! I really enjoyed that book we studied it in my Mystery of Evil class last year.

[MENTION=59338]Toothpick[/MENTION], is there a limit on the number of blade models that one can swap?

My apologies for being a little slow. When you say "brands" do you mean Gillette or GSB? May I PM my list to you before posting to avoid my own embarrassment?
