Hey, guys. When I first started shaving with a DE razor, not knowing anything about sample packs, this forum, different blades, or really anything, I read an article about best blades for newbies and ended up purchasing a 100 pack of Derby Extras. Well, I tried a blade, thought it was awful, but chalked it up to my inexperience and kept on torturing myself through another few blades. Then I just had to stop with that nonsense. I eventually found out about blade samplers and over the last couple of years, I have learned so much more about technique, blades, creams, soaps, etc. Well, recently I thought to myself that maybe my impressions were wrong because of my lack of technique and I'd give the Derby Extras another go. Ugh. Bad idea. I've just come to the conclusion that they aren't for me. And rather than keep space in my bathroom closet for them, I'd rather pass them on to someone else who will actually use them.
I know that there are people on these forums who find these blades perfectly in line with other blades and can use them satisfactorily. I am not one of those. Now over the last couple of years, I have opened one tuck and passed two more along when PIFing a razor along (with a warning that they weren't the right blade for me, but that maybe that person would enjoy them). So I've got 17 tucks left, and this will just be first come first serve to whoever wants them. If you want them, reply here, and we'll get the details via DM so that I can pass them along next week.
BTW, I said "PIF (mabye)" in the title because I just don't enjoy these blades so maybe it's not about paying it forward as much as I am just sick of these sitting in my closet!
