I am sorry but I can not accept an exchange like this.

If you have 3 more brands of blades you can offer and will accept less than 6 Supermax Platinum then it could be doable.

That way you are taking out 5 different blades and putting back in 5 different blades.

My apologies! From my read of the list it looked like you had zero stock of Yellows and Super Iridiums, so I thought I would be replenishing some sought after blades, and putting more into the bank than I took out.
The ones that are less common (Bolzano, Super Platinum, Vokshod) I kept my request to the minimum (2). The Supermax and Personna Red the list seemed to show good supply. Am I looking at an outdated sheet?

You are looking at the correct stock list. I have been relaxed with the guidelines in the past and that is the reason for post #502 and am trying to get back on track.

From the first post:

2. Post your selection in this thread only. Your request can be for as many different blades as you wish provided you are sending the same amount of different blades.

you are sending in 2 different blades and are taking out 5. The more folks I let do this the more blades I have one or two different brands and less of all others. Regardless of the amount of blades you send. I am looking at this from a variety stand point.

*for some reason i can't un-bold the text, not my intention to have it all in bold

OK, makes sense. I took the above quote to mean the request should be for equal # of blades, not # of brands of blades. Sorry!
Let me try again: May I try 8 Crystal and 4 Supermax Platinum? In exchange for 8 Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow and 8 PolSilver Super Iridiums, 4 of which are donation.
Thanks for your patience!
regards, Joe

Ok, So i am fairly new and dont have a closet of blades yet, and i am embarking on my straight shaving journy but i still use a DE to clean up as i am still learning. I have found a blade a ireally like but i am not sire if they can be found. If not i would be willing to share a few if someone could point me in the direction of a blade that shaves similar.

Never heard of these. Only time anyone comes here is for an exchange.

You'd have better luck and get more attention starting a thread in the razor blades forum.

 

[Jackinbox]

I'll send 4 Personna Lab Blues for 8 Feather, if that works.

 

[BubblesTGB]

Hello again Jason,

Might I be able to trade 5 UK Wilkinson Sword for 2 of the 1942 vintage Blues? 1942 was my day's birth year.

Thanks.
