Wizamet Super Iridium, real or not?

[Icebear]

I ordered early March and received them late April, so let's say it was close to 8 weeks.
Don't worry there is just a mess with international shipping right now.
And there was no tracking update between stuck in Casablanca and the package actually showing up in my mail box.

Damn! Now the hoops I had to jump through to get even better vintage blades at practical costs seem like a walk in the park. I mean, fraudulent blades were never an issue I ran into.

@Icebear , how long did it take in total to get them?

I'm close to a month with no updates on the shipment.

Mine says “origin post is preparing shipments” since April 9. Last update and haven’t received anything. I didn’t order from Wizashave though.

Well I received my blades yesterday May 16 and no update happened to the tracking. I love these blades.

I'm all worried I'll run out of Polsilver SI blades because I don't even have 400 of them, but I really hate to buy 250 blades without trying one first.

I'll think about it.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Beginning of last week my order from Wizshave arrived. Due to Corona the shipment was delayed. Tracking showed the package being stuck in Casblanca for a while ...

... awaiting letters of transit no doubt.

They are the same blades. I love them. Shaved with one today. No different than Polsilver.

Where can I order these blades in the US? Thanks.

Wizamet Super Iridium DE Blades - US Stock

Wiza Shave provides wizamet super iridium Double Edge Blades with free and fast shipping in USA. Wizamet polsilver blades have become synonymous with "sharp" and "smooth" in the wet shaving world.

wizashave.com

There a couple of other sources, but this is the only one I know where he says he has stock and is shipping from the US.

Glad I stocked up when I did. Even these don’t seem as common as they once were, especially in 250 blade sleeves.

Yes, not as common, and therefore prices going up....

My order (all of it or some portion) is now in my office mailbox. I will probably not get the order until Monday.

I surely hope these are just like Polsilver SI blades (my favorites & I only have about 350 of 'em). I placed, on the advice given in this thread and by a friend, a very large order.

Happy shaves,

Jim

I ordered from wizashave and found the owner extremely forthright and responsive to emails. The US stock came within a few days of shipping( just a few days ago )

 

[BradWorld]

Ive not had any issues with Wizashave. Have another two full sleaves on their way now. May already be sitting in my office

My Wizashave order was placed on 5/13 and arrived yesterday, 8/1. Wizashave's tracking page showed the order being mailed on 6/3 and leaving Morocco on 6/8. So it may take a while for your order to arrive. Once I saw that the blades had been mailed, I was not particularly concerned about them arriving eventuallly.

When I ordered it said it was being mailed from the USA.

Initially Wizashave were shipping all their packages from Morocco.
They had some issues (very long delays, etc) with packages going to the US, so about a month ago they somehow managed to get some large stock in the US, and are now shipping all the US orders from New York.
As far as I know, all the other international orders are still being shipped from Morocco.

Yes. My last order shipped from Morocco.

Good to know. Perhaps I should order another 250.

Just got a shipment update email. My blades will arrive tomorrow. Ordered on 7/27. Pretty quick if you ask me.
