Always had good service from this vendor.

Thanks Paul
Thanks Paul, that clears it up for me. Maybe now I can find a metal handle for my Diamond Fx carts. Cheers, Scott

Hopefully my last post on the subject, but I find these blades to be excellent. Just finished off one in my fatboy and it lasted a week. Smooth and gentle on the skin yet somehow gives a close shave with minimal effort. It can just zip right around your face if you've got experience. Worth the effor...

Not made in China
Hi guys, I had someone who speaks Chinese translate whatever they could make out from the packaging and it says the following, in Chinese: "Imported from Germany, great quality material: Stainless double edge razor blade compatible with all kinds of razor" So they're sold and packaged for ...

Great blades
Okay guys you know I had to get some to try. My first three shaves with the same side of the blade in a Fatboy, good prep and AOS Sandalwood produced DFS. Very smooth feeling blade while being sharp enough but you don't feel it or have any sort of nicks or cuts. I was able to dial up to 5 on the Gil...

hummm, well i think i landed my point pretty well. i definitely detect a distinct softening in your view (even if you haven't realised it / or want to admit it to yourself/publically). last time you were howling with disbelief / indignation. now you seem to be able to rationalise it. $39 for 10 Per...

Ex. Next best blade lasts 6 shaves, then if P74 lasts you 30 shaves and you like HOW THEY SHAVE, then TO YOU they are worth 5 times your next best favorite. Same principle can apply to other NOS blades. so you are saying you can relate to it now?! http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45...

Scott, I think I'm beginning to gain a little better understanding of the (obvious? :lol: ) reasons some guys pursue the vintage stuff. Thanks. Yes, I think there is a reason beyond vintage people ( :lol: ) not adjusting to new blades or people imagining things. As the prices for vintage blades on ...

Gary, Okay, I'll try ( as did Marty ) but keep in mind that all this is ultimately personal/experiential. If there is no difference for you than there isn't, but for me there is a rather marked one. I assure you that I would not have gone through the hassle and expense if, really, some easily acces...

See how out of the loop I am, I didn't know the Iridiums were discontinued, much less resurrected (speculation) as Polsilver. The old Polsilvers were nice and I'm glad I had bought a tower of Iridiums from Connaught when they were on special. The speculation would seem logical as there were blades l...

It is nice but it is a PILS clone with better steel and knurling right? I've learned to easily manage no rust on the PILS just by rinsing well, shaking off the water, and unscrewing the cap a couple turns to allow it to air dry between shaves. Still, if I had the coin I'd of course have to have Greg...

Scott, Too weird. So, we don't know whether those blades that Nationwide offers are the German made ones or perhaps a new Chinese made version, correct? Regards, Gordon Not yet, but I did dig out the old email I sent NWC asking about it and she was more polite in the email than I remember :lol: and...

Scott, I'm not sure whether or not you are aware, but that Nationwide Campus outfit are the ones who marketed that cheesy ineffective Chinese made copy of the Schick Injector razor ( both fixed blade and adjustable model ) a few years back. A number of members bought them, and I got to try them out...

That's cool. I see nationwide campus wants 7 bucks to ship so that would be a buck a blade, about the same as the NOS goes for so that's not so great, maybe one of the other sites or Amazon can do better. I emailed a vendor that carries exclusively old school shaving and grooming supplies and asked ...

Thanks for the information Scott. I know Drugstore.com carries the injector blades. I wonder if they could get the DE blades if they were so inclined. It would make sense. The Schick Plus Platinum DE blades are among my favorites and I would be very interested to see how the new ones match up. I mu...

Apologies
Sorry Phil, I guess plentiful would be the wrong word... :oops: I "remember" seeing them while I was still collecting like a mad man but here's a google search page showing what they look like and some current or past sellers. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=new+Schick+double+edge...
