A new brush, razor and blades for a new~ish DE shaver who has either a Canadian or a US address. All items are brand new and have never been used. The brush and razor were taken out of their boxes only briefly to photograph them. Item details are as follows:
The brush - A Simpson Berkeley 46 in Best Badger. I personally have never used one but it seems to be a well loved little brush.
The razor - An Edwin Jagger DE89L. It shaves very well and looks quite stunning in person, better than I have ever seen it look in photographs.
The blades -One pack each of all the blades seen here.
5-Gillette Silver Blue - my favourite overall blade
10-Feather - need I say more
7-Gillette 7 O'Clock blacks - Extra Ossum
10-Iridium Super - The Dark Knight
5- Polsilver Super Iridium - The Dark Knight Rises?
10-Polsilver - The original Polsilver
5-Super-Max Super Platinum - Best bang for the buck ever
5-Kai - Extra cool blades from Japan, still deciding if I like them or love them
5-Perma-Sharp Super - sometimes called the Iridium replacement
5-Astra Superior Platinum - Near Feather performance at Astra prices
10-Timor - Winner of the best cover art award
5- Wilkinson sword - Can't believe I'm giving these away, I haven't even tried them myself yet
10- Rapira Super Stainless - good shaver, great price
5-Super-Max Blue Diamond - lesser known Super-Max
5-Bic Chrome Platinum - way sharper than my pen for sure
5-Super-Max Titanium - what's with all these Super-Max blades already
5-Personna Platinum - Hey, if you like red
5-Racer - Shaves so close, you'll be able to run faster
5-Shark Super Stainless - Made from genuine shark teeth
10-Treet Classic - I hope they work better for you than they did for me
10-Derby - The five you see here plus another five included inside the razor box
10-Gillette Bleue Extra - Another recent aquisition I have yet to try. Thankfully this is not my only pack of these
100 - Personna Super (Lab Blue) I wish these came in smaller tucks like the rest of them but I did say one pack each so you get the full 100. Not too expensive, no wax spots, and a top shelf performer. Last but definitely not least.
252 blades total - If you can't find a blade you love among all of these well, then, you'll just have to keep looking.
Eligible members will have either a Canadian or US address, will not currently possess both an EJ DE8X razor and a Simpson Berkely brush (one of the two is fine) and will promise not to sell or trade any of this stuff. If you would like to give it away to someone who would truly appreciate it that's cool with me. Entries by or on behalf of shavers who don't currently have much gear at all are especially encouraged.
Thanks to the providers of Badger and Blade and to all my fellow members whose wisdom and knowledge has benefitted me greatly. Preparing this little PIF has been a lot of fun for me and I hope it will bring someone a small bit of happiness.
If you would like to enter please include the usual phrase "I'm in" in your reply. Entries will be accepted untill noon mountain time Sunday September 23. The winner will be chosen at random, announced in this thread and contacted by PM. Good luck!
