Connaught do sample packs. http://connaughtshaving.com/samplepack.htmlGreetings.
Could someone please point me in the right direction for the best place to go for sample packs? The more brands the better
I have only used Astra Platinum blades in my Merkur 34c at the moment and must confess I am finding them superb.
I was also given several alternatives to try that were so kindly and generously donated to me by Patw FOC.
I am yet to use these as I have been primarily concentrating on my technique.
I feel now could be the time to order several more just to see for myself if the Astra can be beaten.
A tough task I may add.
Thank you in advance and take care all.
Wayne
I have over 60 different blades, I am about 2/3 of the way through them and to be honest many of them are the same, however it has been fun trying different blades.Thank you so much for your quick response Bizzy.
I am on the case as we speak.
( I thought I was supposed to save money switching to DE from many years of cart)
Never mind its more fun!
If you do fancy trying some different blades, their Top Quality or Top Seller packs look worth a try, there are some good blades in there.I was just looking at the link you sent me from razorbladesclub. .
They have a 100 sample pack that I am so tempted with but as you say I would imagine a lot to be the same and I should rather be concentrating on my technique and lathering skills before I contemplate too many blades in the mix.
I may study more reviews from here and just go for the ones that have been recommended.
Thanks for the input mate.

Hello Wayne, I'm glad you are getting on well with the Astra sp.Your doing the right thing concentrating on your technique, but if you feel that you are ready to try another blade, the Polsilver si , 7 o'clock yellow and the Nacet I sent you are very good.The Sputnik I find similar to the Astra sp.
The Polsilver si is my favourite DE blade.
All the best mate

Polsilvers, Astra and Perma Sharps all have a similar feel for me. There is an unproven rumour that Polsilvers are no more. I have 120 of them at the moment but if they go then Perma Sharps will be a good replacement. They feel identical and I would not be surprized if the Pol and the Perma are not the same blade tbh.Astra SP probably the most versatile blade I have tried and great value as well.
Good call on the Gillette 7 o'clock Yellows. I've been impressed, as I have been by the Polsilver SI. I want to give the Gillette Silver Blue another try and I have a few Rubies en route.
Gillette Rubies, great blades imo. Sharp and smooth.Please forgive my newbie ignorance but what are the "Rubies?"
Many thanks.
Thanks Blademonkey, will look out or these.Gillette Rubies, great blades imo. Sharp and smooth.
