How is that possible? Walmart does have US Personna blades for ~$1.55. They are the best, easily available, local blades that I have found. So no need to resort to the fusion while waiting for your online order of blades. Besides, you should stock pile at least 50 or so blades. (maybe of each type... )
I agree. Really, there is no excuse for this. Action should be taken.

I had stockpiled Merkur DEs, 100 of them, which I've been using since time immortal as a result. I just encountered a sudden lack of them which I wasn't expecting. However, my brother did stay over last weekend so I have my suspiscions as to where one or 10 packs may have wandered off too.

I knew it wouldn't be long before I decided to rock the boat. It has been quite a while since I've used anything other than a Feather blade in the Slant. The Swede definitely did not cut as smoothly but in the end the results may actually have been a little better. There is almost always an over-shaved patch and a nick or two with the Feather. Not so with the Swede, and my face has that warm feeling that you get with a str8.

Geo F. Trumper Ajaccio Violets
Great shave. The 167 is huge. I think I had cream left over for another 10 passes if I wanted them. Great brush I think. I really like the Ajaccio Violets also, nice subtle scent. I bet it won't last till I get to my jeep though. Sunny and in the high 70's here in the PNW today. Have a great friday guys.

I don't remember ever before falling for a razor as quickly as I am for this Progress. Golly.

Damn that sticky delivers a fine shave. It has been ages since I used it and I expected it to rip my face off during the rush I was in, not at all though. Israeli blade BTW.
The BK4 is one of those "if I only had one" brushes. Except that I have Rooney Finests.
