Thanks, Odio.

I'm bummed, but I guess I should look at it like this. It was my mistake. I had changed my address for PayPal, but forgot to change it for eBay. So that mistake is going to cost me. Now if you're going to be out of money regarding eBay, I have to think that $12.99 is a very small price to pay for your mistake!

I haven't had a problem yet with Paypal or the vendors there. Yet.

Oh, and the price is still reasonable for these blades; others get more than that and/or add a s/h charge. G' luck!

You know, I like this blade and guess If I were going to make a buy, I'd go on and get 200 of them, because we don't know how long they'll be there at that price. But that's me. There was a seller on the bay with 7 O'Clock yellows for $20.99/ 100. I bought 100 and wish I had bought more because they are gone now. Finding a good blade for a good price is becoming more difficult.

Best,

I just picked up 100 of these yesterday and the first shave was very nice. Better, in fact, than what I remember getting from the Med Preps.

eBay has given me a refund of my money, so I have placed another order.

I'm not going to lose any sleep about it, but I have a strong hunch that when I placed my order a month ago, the shipping address they showed me was not the shipping address they showed the seller. I think they showed the seller the eBay address, and they showed me the PayPal address.

So, a word to the wise. Make sure that both eBay and PayPal have your correct address!

It has been suggested on this board that Gillette will dull down the blades of their cartridge razors when new types come on line....has this been alleged concerning their DE line?

SAY IT ISN'T SO! :shock:

Luckily, I have quality blades in bulk from Africa, Asia, and the USA. :wink:

I see that the seller has some more in. The supply was down to 39 the other day, and it is now up to 95.

Well, my second box of Lab Blues is safely tucked away where the linen would be. With the other 500 blades I scored in the past couple of years. At age 57 I do not believe I'll need to buy blades till I'm 63 or so.

Now, as to soaps ... :roll:

I see that the seller continues to get more in, and has kept the price at $12.99.

She now has 324 available, and has sold 710.

I'm still happy with my Personna Hospital Use (Prep?) blades. Good thing, since I have an ample quantity on hand.
