AS OF 4/11/14 THIS OFFER IS CLOSED TO NEW ADDITIONS. IF YOUR NAME IS ALREADY ON THE LIST IT WILL COMPLETE THE CYCLE, BUT WE ARE NOT ADDING NEW NAMES TO THE LIST AS OF NOW
Lately there has been a lot of talk and questions about the Gillette Slim. I have one and find it a fine razor. I actually have two, one is my Birth year/quarter which I will use tomorrow, and the other I use in my rotation.
If you been following these on the Bay you know that the prices are going up. If you watch the B/S/T you know that these are snatched up quickly.
Is this razor worth the hype?
Are they better than the razor I own?
Will it make me weep in joy?
There is only one way to find out, TRY it. "But I don't want to invest in one just to find out." You may say. Have I got a deal for you. Since I have received so much from this community, I want to give back.
Here are the rules for this thread:
1. If you already have a Slim experience, please do not participate in this thread. It is for Slim newbies (you may have extensive non-Slim experience, but not Slim experience.)
2. To participate in this thread, you must meet the qualifications to sell items on B/S/T. (45 days a member and 50 posts).
3. Participation is for CONUS members only - to keep costs down and the razor moving to as many participants as possible.
4. Post in this thread that you would like to try the razor.
5. I will periodically put together a consolidated list in a single post.
6. PM me when you get the razor so I can keep the list updated.
7. Your cost in this is the cost to post the razor to the next person on the list. It is also your responsibility to PM that person to get their address.
8. You are responsible for cleaning/sanitizing the razor when you get it and before you send it out.
9. Please shave with it for about a week and then pass it along to the next person on the list. This is not your personal razor, so please don't keep it for more than a week. (I understand many of us travel so, if the razor arrives and you are out of town the time at your house may go a bit longer, but please be considerate of those after you on the list.)
10. Please post your experience with the razor in this thread. Did you like the Slim, hate it, plan to get one,what setting, what blade, etc.
(thanks shutterbug for letting me copy his rules)
This Slim is in good shape (actually better than the one in my rotation) It is marked J3, the numbers have some black left but it shined up really nice.
The Slim will be PIFed (not sure that's a word) to one of the participates.
