fatboyslimfast said:Ah, ok - that should definitely have enough heft to keep them in check.

If you are quick, you can get 350 Blue Diamonds for 7 quid with a free shavette and shave cream from shavemaxworld.com but you need to spend a tenner for free shipping I think. I ordered 700!
I just ordered 700 too. Might as well at 2p per blade.
At worst they'd be a massive PIF.
The original offending blade are the Supermax super stainless. Avoid.

However, down the road a bit, I'd like to try again and see if my improved technique can overcome these awful blades that you love so much. I'm still not taking any responsibility for that initial hacking!
Can I scrounge a blade from one of you, please - better yet a blade of each type of Super Max you have. The prices of which you speak tempt me to risk another hacking!
A - W said:Would I recommend them, very much so. I might even give the free shavette a go when I have a little more time.
Absolute bargain and I guess without postage/cream/shavette these might be around the 1p per blade which is corking value
fatboyslimfast said:No worries B45 - I think I might still have your address from the Blade PIF, so I'll check and get some in the post to you. I've got Stainless, Super Plat and Blue Diamond, so will bung a couple of each in.
BTW, I think "Love" is a strong word, esp for the stainless :s But I'm still quite happy to recommend the BDs at their current price.
