PIF, Europe, Black

[Oscroft]

PIF Closed - results below

I just stocked up on Gillette 7 O'Clock Black blades from India, which are amongst my favourites - I got them from desistores.net

I was pleasantly surprised when the 5-packs I ordered turned out to be 5+2 packs, with two free blades in each. That means I have 40% more blades than I expected, and that exceeds my likely needs.

So I'm offering 5 packs for PIF, with some restrictions...

* UK and Europe only (loosely defined - Eastern Europe and Scandinavia are fine)
* They must not be easily available in your home country
* You must not have used one before
* You agree to post on this thread and tell us what you think of them

I'd like to be able to extend the offer further afield, but postage to US or further would not be cost effective for a single pack of blades - and I believe they're available in the US anyway.

So, reply below please.

I'll leave this open for either 24 hours or until there are 5 takers (whichever is longer), and if that means there are more than 5, I'll select the winners randomly.

Edit: Responses are coming quite quickly and are already beyond 5, so I'll close this at 24 hours - and then I'll select the winners.

Very generous offer! Get on this, guys. The blacks are a wonderful blade.

I would love to be considered for this PIF, please. I like the yellows, and am interested in seeing how the blacks perform.

I`d like to try them as well.

Have never tried any of the colours.

Very nice of you indeed

I'd love to try Gillette Black, since they were missing from the sample pack I bought. I only got Gillette Blue and Green from the 7 O'clock range. PM sent.

 

[Buddy97]

Would love to try - cannot get them in Ireland and have been looking to try them

 

[kosmin]

I would love to try one, can't find them over here and of course never used one.

Hi Folks,

Thanks to the quick responses, I'll close this after a total of approx 24 hours - at 5pm BST today, and I'll announce the winners shortly afterwards.

Would love to try one, count me in. In my country we only have Sputnik and Gillette Rubie blades, not a good selection.

Big fan of the Yellows but I never had the chance to try the blacks I'd like to try them out also so count me in

 

[Oscroft]

Right, I've closed this at 5pm, and it looks like there were 9 people wanting to take part.

I don't like to disappoint anyone so, hey, you can all have a pack!

If you haven't done so already, please send me a PM with your address, and I'll send you your pack of blades - I should get them sent out early next week.

 

[Paddan1000]

Thank you very much! I'll write what I think of the blade as soon as I've tested it.

Unfortunately, no, those two are the only ones available. I order my blades online.

Thanks for the huge generosity, Alan, it's much appreciated.
