Rembrandt's Shaving Masterpiece
You've chosen to spend the day at the Louvre. As you move from painting to painting, admiring each work for its amazing story that it portrays, you hear a quiet whisper. Pssst, you there, with the two day old whiskers. You look around, there's no one close to you. You hear the whisper again. Pssst, hey, wolfman, is your razor broken?!? As you rub your chin, feeling the stubble, you notice one of the portraits of the artist, Rembrandt, the Dutch master artist himself, famous for capturing the emotion in the eyes. Your own eyes widen as he offers you his very razor!! Try this, my fuzzy faced friend; it's already loaded with one of my namesake blades!!
Yes!! Rembrandt himself is reaching from out of his self-portrait to bestow upon you the opportunity to use his namesake masterpiece blade - the Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades!! As a historical sidenote, Rembrandt was also famous for painting several clean-shaven selfies!!
A historic Thank You to @Space_Cadet for braving the space-time continuum, travelling back to 17th century Holland, where he was able to obtain 200 Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades!! In addition, @Space_Cadet has also included 50 KAI Blades!!
What opportunity awaits!! This is your historic chance to take you tool of choice in hand and recreate Rembrandt's Shaving Masterpiece!! There are enough blades for all participants to receive up to 5 foil wrapped (that's right, foil wrapped) Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades and up to 2 KAI Blades!!

This Participation PIF is open to any and all (International and CONUS B&B'ers)!! No matter where you live, these history Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades will fit your razor!!
These historic Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades still shave!! At the urging of @Space_Cadet, I tried one of these (older than me) foil wrapped Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades, and I was able to push the blade for 8 shaves!! I won't tell you that I used a slightly more aggressive razor than I normally do (performing wonderfully in a Gillette Parat), since I don't want to influence any of your choices!!

While in the 17th Century, @Space_Cadet was able to snap a pic of an actual ad for Rembrandt Super Stainless Blades!!
(I think it's an ad. I can't read Dutch.)
