I'm just now seeing your question, I'm sorry for the slow response time. A PM is heading your way with mailing instructions.I’ll just stick with a donation…let’s forget about an exchange. What’s the process to donate. Thanks.
That exchange will work just fine. A PM will be sent shortly with mailing instructions. And thank you for adding your comments on the blades, I appreciate you adding to our knowledge base!I'd like to have another go at the GBE, David
I offer:
2 RK Stainless
2 Rockwell (I have at least 2 but I might find more to send)
3 Platinum Strangelet from Phoenix Shaving
1 Bolzano
I desire:
2 Feather
2 Personna (Germany)
2 Wilkinson Sword (Germany) - I think that "classic" is German
While I'm generally an organized and analytical person I don't do that with shaving; that's very subjective and touchy feely to me. But here's my take on what I'm offering:
The RK Stainless are really good in the Henson razor. I get four comfortable shaves from them and I'm trying to decide if any of the three brands I'm requesting are slightly better or not. I've tried all three from various samplers and an earlier exchange and I would like to have another go at them.
Rockwell consistently gives me a first shave that is tuggy and grabby and after that three comfortable shaves.
The Platinum Strangelet and Bolzano (probably Egyptian) are both very uncomfortable for me. They were "one and done" when I tried them. A couple of Bolzano's that I received in an earlier purchase sampler were European (Italy? Germany?) and were great!
And I appreciate the opportunity for a couple of stamps to get blades that I won't use into the hands of those who will - and another go myself at three types that are still contenders against the known good RK Stainless.That exchange will work just fine. A PM will be sent shortly with mailing instructions. And thank you for adding your comments on the blades, I appreciate you adding to our knowledge base!
Okay everyone: what is the consensus on the "Supermax" Platinum? Is it any good? Looks tempting....Thank you, sir, for your generous donation to the Great Blade Exchange.

I find them solid performers. It has a medium-range sharpness coupled with decent smoothness. They are kind of upper medium-tier blades for me.Okay everyone: what is the consensus on the "Supermax" Platinum? Is it any good? Looks tempting....
One of the better blades out there. Been really happy with my stash over the last 10 years.Okay everyone: what is the consensus on the "Supermax" Platinum? Is it any good? Looks tempting....
