Can I make someone happy with a bunch of Shark blades?

[Bluesman]

I recently got into DE shaving and with my razor, I made the mistake of buying a whole bunch of Shark blades without trying what else is out there. It turns out that I don't like them at all. Although I'm still in the beginner stage, I found out that other blades I've tried are waaaaay better for me. I have an extremely heavy beard and a sensitive skin, and it turns out that only the really sharp blades work well for me. The Sharks would pull on my beard.

Long story short, I got nine 5-packs of Shark Super Chromes lying around that I ain't gonna use. Is there anyone that would like to have them, or trade them for something else?

I also got one pack of Shark Super Stainless that I haven't tried yet. How do they rate in sharpness? If they're in the same ballpark, those are available, too.

It's not about the money for me (it's only like 10 bucks), but throwing things out that aren't broken just feels wrong to me.

No offers to trade are allowed in the forums outside of the BST. You can PIF them, of course.

I'm sorry, still new here.

But what does BST and PIF mean?

 

[mwhitcraft]

BST means "Buy, Sell, Trade". It is a section of this forum. PIF means "Pass It Forward," in other words give it away for free.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll move over there then. I wasn't aware of such a forum here.

I'm sorry too, because there are rules to prevent commercial sites from taking advantage of Badger and Blade. One of those rules is that you cannot post in the BST until you have 50 meaningful posts and a certain amount of time as a member (I'm not exactly sure how long that is).

I hope you can wait it out. If you can, I am sure you will find someone willing to trade sir something you either like or haven't tried yet.

45 days to the best of my knowledge.

Yeah, I noticed that I can't post in there. But no problem, I get it.

I'll hang around for a little while and post in there once I have enough posts. Those blades aren't in the way.

Hang on to at least a pack of them, and revisit them several months from now.

You may be surprised at how they've improved with age.

Yeah I want to keep at least one pack around. They were the first five blades I tried, so my technique also got better over time.

Thing is, that I immediately noticed an improvement after switching to Astra blades.
