Richard , I believe the topic is Shipping TO CANADA not FROM CANADA :P

I think what most of us up here don't know is that Americans can get the US Post Office to come to their homes and pick up mail for them if it is sent by certain methods. I believe for First Class International (the method we mostly are sent things with) it entails a trip to the post office. Human n...

Being a Canadian, I've never been able to figure out what distinguishes Memorial Day from Veterans Day. Can someone explain the difference? Here in Canada we commemorate/honour the service of soldiers, of all the wars Canadian soldiers have fought in, on Rememberance Day Nov. 11, the day that WW I e...

Are you serious about that Peter ? :shock:

If I shook my brushes that many times after using them I think I would get repetitive strain injury.

I believe PIF indicates you are giving something without charge, in return they are supposed to perform a similar generous deed in the future. You can spin it anyway you want, but if you want something in return you're "selling" it, since receiving it entails they give you back something. :o

We really have no one to blame but ourselves in all honesty. Those of us who frequent this and other shaving forums have probably been more responsible than any other reason for the huge jump in prices the last few years. Thank god I got almost all the razors I wanted just before things started to b...

Those private bidders auctions bug me. How do we know this auction did not contain at least one shill pushing up the final price. We will never know in this case.
