Bruno, Since you are clearly in desperate need of some blades ( cough, cough ), the two main mail order sources for the Swedes are; auravita.com and the englishshavingcompany.com. Check to see which has the better shipping rates these days.
Regards,
Gordon

As advertised, my ISD shave:

Vulfix 2233
T&H West Indian Limes shaving cream
1962 Gillette slim adjustable
Fresh Derby blade
Styptic pencil (to taste)
Pinaud Clubman AS

I'm at my parents for New Year's this year (actually, for Christmas celebrations). I didn't require the services of my styptic pencil today.

Happy New Year and Happy ISD to all!

Pretty good shave, although I think I'm coming down with something: woke up with a
headache, bleary eyes -- even though I felt great yesterday. Black coffee seems to help...

Glenn, please tell your SOTD pic to stop moving back and forth. I think I have motion sickness :D

It looks perfectly normal to me. Now, where's that last bottle of Champagne at?

Cross-posted from SOTD:

TKNO-FAW, Infusium
T&H Trafalgar lathered with C&E Best in my dad's Old Spice mug
'61 FatBoy (sorry no slim adjustable) on 3 with Swede (1st day) - 3.5 passes
Hot rinse, cold rinse, Witch Hazel, CHL

You might be able to see my face map in the background of the above shot. I used the new Canon (with tripod and timer) to shoot 9 closeups of my face. I flipped them to make mirror images and grouped them on one sheet of paper for easy on-mirror reference. Which way does the hair grow there? Oh, yes. I see!

Of course, this wouldn't have worked if I hadn't taken a three-day vacation from shaving. :-)
