Greetings B&Bers,
I have a couple non-folding Feather Artist Club razors that I bought, tried, and have finally decided to just stick with my Cobra Classic. However, I know these razors - soulless as they may be - garner some intrigue within the community and I wanted to offer an opportunity for others to try them if they have interest. I provide the razors and the blades, and you are responsible for shaving yourself.
************************************************** *********************
THE RULES (borrowed from our own Texbilly)
Gents, nothing but a bit of common courtesy here, meant to keep the tour fair, fun and safe.
1. Participants are required to have been a member of B&B for a minimum of 3 months and be an active member of the community in good standing. Please send me a PM if you are interested in being on the list.
2. The first round of the tour will be limited to the CONUS so that members are not having to deal with customs and excessive shipping costs. If the CONUS tour runs its course I might consider letting the Feathers fly far and wide.
3. Please limit your time with the gear to no more than 10 days. This should be enough time for some quality shaves and impressions. There will be exceptions, and if you know ahead of time your schedule will be limited (e.g., vacation, job constraints, travel) please let me know so we can adjust the order. When you have the razor and your turn is nearing its end, please contact the next member on the list so you can obtain their shipping information and keep the momentum going.
4. The package contains 1 Feather RG razor, 1 Feather SS razor, 1 20-pack of Kai Mild blades, 1 15-pack of Feather ProGuard blades, 1 20-pack of Feather Professional blades and a case to hold it all. (Also includes instructions.) While I can often get close to 10 shaves with each blade, members are invited to try one of of each type of blade if they wish.
5. I am shipping the razors clean and sterilized. Please do the same before shipping them off to the next member. Soapy hot water, Barbicide or Scrubby Bubbles are fine. Boiling water and bleach/chlorine will ruin the razors so please refrain.
6. The case with all of the gear fits perfectly in a small Priority Mail flat rate box. You do not have to use Priority Mail, but I am requesting if you want to participate in the tour you be willing to insure the package for at least $200. (I believe it is $8.85 total.) This will allow me to replace at least one of the razors should USPS lose the package.
7. Communicate! Post in this thread or PM me as needed if you have questions. It is never fun to track you down if you are in possession of some expensive toys.
8. Share your impressions with your fellow B&B members.
9. Have fun....
