This is a handful of unopened, new double-edge razor blades that are slightly fewer in brand and total number, than a common internet sampler pack which many SMF members recommend. The cartouches (boxie-thingies) have been opened and (except the Gillettes) one or more blades have been removed and used; the rest of the blades are ready for your use. I've tried at least one of each brand in the original pack, keeping those that are friendly to my face; then I've traded off some. You can get the rest if you want to try them.
For the minor fee of $2.50 (includes shipping within Continental US and transaction fee; PayPal the only payment method allowed) I can send to you:
Merkur Super Platinum (9)
Personna ("red pack" Israeli) (4)
Derby Extra (3)
American Gillette (5)
You get 4 brands, 21 blades total, for barely over a dime each. The stipulation is that you're a wet-shaving newbie. I prefer something other than these brands, but you may love them!
Please post here in the thread that you'll be PM-ing me, and then send me a PM explaining that you're a beginner. (*In the event of conflict, then definition of term to be subjectively determined by me. Number of posts, date of joining, that sort of thing, all go into the mix.) My hope is the spread around the luvvv ...
... another fellow aided me by sending along a few sampler blades when I got started, and now I'm sharing the karma.Happy Jazz Fest!
