View attachment 23426 Received yesterday, 800 of these superb blades on offer at Gemstone Trading. I have @Blackmass to thank for turning me on to these after he was kind enough to send me some a while back and on first use I thought they was much like Astra SPs but after using them for some time now I have come to realise that they are so much more, I have found these to be a fantastic all round blade that for( me )work with all of my razors and work really well. Not that I am knocking Astra SPs which I still like, I just find these to have the edge as I do with my Polsilver (Lodz) stainless blades. Needless to say but I won't be needing to be buying any DE blades for the foreseeable. :)

Glad you like them. I would have said they were my favorite blades until last week.

I tried the Gillette 7 o'clock super stainless', green packet. They are very smooth and sharp. Worth giving them a try.

I hope you are keeping well mate.

Such a shame maggards don't post aftershave across the pond. As they have some great products.
 
Fine Snakebite and a small quantity (circa 40mL) of Myrsol Blue arrived today. Will have a quick whiff of the Myrsol soon and will probably try out the Fine a little later.
 
Funny how sometimes your day goes. Missed the bus so got back from work late, too late to walk home from the town as I have to be there later for school pick up. Having time to kill I went in the local antique shop. Never usually lucky to find anything. Sat there on a shelf a nice condition all bar some soap gunk sat a razor with no price on. Asked, she rang the owner, £5. Snapped it up ! Now have what I think, someone will correct me if I'm wrong, a English Aluminium LD Paperclip Rocket ! Very pleased !!!!


Pictures to follow as I need to give it a light clean first.

Further clean needed, but a fairly nice example. It was gucked up and a Gillette Blue Blade was still in which had an E1 code. Razor its self isn't coded. Smooth ad n to the doors and even gaps. I'm a happy man.
