Razor Blade Club

[Rodimus80]

I don’t know whether to post it here or not. But anyways,

So yesterday I created my razor blades sample on RBC, I got a sample of 10 blades two of each so 20 blades. Has anyone ordered stuff from RBC? How was your experience?

My order is coming from Frankfurt, German with DHL. I rarely order stuff from Europe.

How long does it take for the orders to come to Canada?

I was happy with my RBC orders. The selection is excellent. The prices I thought were fair. Shipping to USA was fine, but it was delayed a few days. It seems they consolidate orders and ship a bunch of them to the USA, then the individual orders get sent out to their final destination. I think the time from ordering to receiving the blades was around ten days.

Thank you @NorthernSoul

It makes perfect sense for them to consolidate orders, given the business they are in. Ten days is not an unreasonable length of time. I like that their samplers are 2 blades or 1 blade of each - you're not stuck with a bunch of blades you will never use.

It is a very good vendor, Its like tryablade, but for EU.
I always reccomend this site for friends who want to start wet shaving.

I ordered from them twice: once from their site, once from ebay (EU to EU). All good, but shipping was slow (~2- weeks) even within the EU. Interestingly, they have a different selections on Ebay than on their site, i.e. more brushes on ebay. Also it says "ships from Sweden" but it came for Germany. Might explain the slow shipping. Overall a positive experience.

Remember B & B‘s very own Great Blade Exchange. The link is at the bottom of this post.

I’ve placed many orders from RBC. I never had an issue. I would highly recommend RBC.

Deutsche Post DHL has distribution centers in quite a few countries. I ordered a brush from Simpson’s. The tracking number said it was shipped from Frankfurt am Main, Germany but was actually shipped from one their international shipping centers in England. I wouldn’t be surprised if your order was actually shipped from a Deutsche Post DHL shipping center in Sweden

I’m pretty sure saying it’s coming from Frankfurt, Germany is standard for DHL

If you look up SLOUGH Y ETOE DEA it’s actually one of Deutsche Post DHL’s shipping centers located in England

How long does it take for the orders to come to Canada?

If I had to base it on my recent experience with an order from Simpson’s (Europe to the USA) 10-14 days might not be an unreasonable estimate for Canadian shipping once they actually have the package. My package is still in transit after 10 days and hopefully I can expect it by the end of the week

Thanks for advising of this site!! I have 52 blades in my inventory. When I get low, I will use this site.

I looked up my last order from RBC. It shipped May 15 and arrived June 1, so just over 2 weeks to the Toronto area.
