    Over the course of this past year a number of users on this forum (myself included) have either given stuff away or exchanged stuff (creams, blades etc).

    Well I thought it best to create a thread purely for saying what you have on offer and what (if any) you might want in exchange.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 28,536 Mod ✭✭✭✭Cabaal


    Right here's what I have on offer and what (ideally) I'd like in exchange,

    I got a tube of Lider cream in a blue tube from Poland on offer (obviously never used :) ), I'd like say two Blue Bird blades in exchange for it as I'd like to give them a go.

    Free to take. It'll cost me to send it out, but meh.. what can you do. Like wallpaper paste, used once. Aloe Vera.

    *Non lathering*

    Slightly unsettling way of shaving, stays see through on the skin.

    Great idea Cabaal, if I'd known you were interested in Bluebirds I'd have sent some your way.

    In fairness I never expressed any interest on any of the threads so you couldn't have known :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    It might be an idea to promote this thread to the top of the forum, sticky it, so that it catches the eye of the passer-by. Just an idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭GD


    This is a great idea.

    I have a couple of barely used Merkurs that were impulse buys and only used once or twice before I developed my addiction to vintage Gillettes.

    Would be nice to see them find a good home. Will try and post some pics etc soon.

    Not a problem, stay in bed. I didn't use the King of Shaves, not sure what it is exactly, very very oily. It is new.

    I have to say they were pretty good. I did a first pass set to 2 on my progress as they were ok. I then notched it up to 4 and I was surprised how smooth and forgiving they were on a more aggressive setting. They are different to Derby's but I would be very surprised if they were made in different factories.
    They were a great find and I will be using them again so many thanks for the sample.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 398 ✭✭Shaving.ie


    I have one more Wars shaving cream tube left for anybody interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam

    Cabaal, thanks for the other tube of Blue Lider, I've only returned to find it waiting for me.. and the extra blades thrown in. Cheers.

    Not used Lider before, just Wars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 235 ✭✭Markjsca1


    Hey Amalgam, are those blades still available? I'm just getting started having just gotten a murkur and some treets. It'd be good to try some different blades.

    Ok lads I got two things up for grabs,

    Parker-91R-Three-Piece-Razor
    I got this off shaving.ie previously (priced at 23.95e on the site at the moment).

    I don't find it suitable for me so I'll leave it go for 15e and I'll pay shipping within Ireland, I've only used it three times.

    It comes with a case as seen in the photos, the case is sadly damaged abit at the back

    It comes apart like so

    Lider Cream
    I have two tubes of this stuff on offer, They've not been used and I won't be using them as I honestly have gone away from creams and I prefer soaps as I find they do a nicer lather and are handier when traveling :)

    I'll leave them go for free but I'd prefer perhaps a few blades as a swap, bluebird or those black gillete 7 o clocks would be great :)

    Cabaal, I'll grab the Parker 91R, 15, post included, is fine by me.

    I'll have it posted off tomorrow, with luck you'll have it before Christmas :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 67 ✭✭GD


    That's a lovely looking razor. I like the long slim handle. Never considered Parkers before .... ah no hide the credit card ....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    I bought it for the handle, to be honest. Looks to be a normal 'Gillette thread bolt', most 3 pieces are interchangeable, from the point of view of the handle.

    I like that there's no logo or other quirks. My Mühle razor head will be on top of it sometime soon..


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 28,536 Mod ✭✭✭✭Cabaal


    Amalgam got the payment for the Parker today and thanks a million for the black Gillete's :)

    Hopefully you've received the Parker by now

    You should have it tomorrow I'd imagine if there's post tomorrow (is there?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    Cabaal, razor arrived. Cheers. The thread is a Gillette thread, meaning, more or less any 3 piece head can fit on the handle.. and vice versa.

    I have the Mühle on it at the moment.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,478 ✭✭✭padi89


    Selling my Merkur Progress (Regular Handle) as i have picked up another razor that suits me more. Just over a month old so it's in perfect condition and clean as a whistle.Perfect razor for new and experienced wet shavers and recommended in Mantic59s videos.
