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.

Cabaal · 30-11-2009 9:12am

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.

Amalgam · 30-11-2009 9:43am

I'll take you up on that Cabaal. I might throw in something extra.. (and not tell you!)

Lovely, sure PM me your address and I'll get it sent out to you tomorrow evening

Old'n'Cranky · 30-11-2009 2:11pm

Great idea for a thread! I want LOADS!!:D

I have nothing to offer:mad:

Amalgam · 30-11-2009 2:39pm

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.

DonJose · 30-11-2009 2:40pm

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

Amalgam · 01-12-2009 2:40pm

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.

GD · 01-12-2009 5:37pm

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.

Shaving.ie · 02-12-2009 1:28am

I have 3 or 4 unopened tubes of Wars shaving cream gathering dust free to some good homes.

Amalgam, received your stuff in the post on Wednesday, thanks a million.

I've been sick most of this week so not yet got the chance to go to the post office, may not get the chance to post it till Monday, sorry for the delay

Yes, yes you can. PM me your address. I think thats the last one but I may have one more somewhere.

Sean Quagmire · 03-12-2009 11:17am

Nice one Chris, I'l try this later

DonJose · 03-12-2009 11:37am

Thanks Chris, received the cream today.

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.

Shaving.ie · 07-12-2009 9:02pm

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

Amalgam · 08-12-2009 1:30am

Loose blades. (safety razor blades)

(Right in photo) 6 x Super Platinum (Personna) (Israel)

(Left in photo) 27 x Unbranded ASR Personna (Tesco\Shaving Shack etc..) (US\Israel)

---

Feel free to take some or all of them, put in a request following this post and I'll mail them out once I have your details.

Blades are not in plastic dispensers, but will be securely shipped.

On that note I have another tube of Blue Lider available for anyone who wants it

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.

Markjsca1 · 18-12-2009 1:47pm

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.

Cabaal · 18-12-2009 2:14pm

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

Amalgam · 19-12-2009 7:44pm

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

GD · 20-12-2009 10:45pm

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

Amalgam · 20-12-2009 10:58pm

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..

Cabaal · 23-12-2009 8:11pm

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

Amalgam · 23-12-2009 9:26pm

Not yet. Fair play to An Post, that just went from Dublin yesterday. I'm not even sure it went in the morning.

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

Amalgam · 24-12-2009 1:41pm

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.

DonJose · 26-12-2009 1:49pm

I'd be interested - PM sent.

Smart Guy · 15-01-2010 11:03am

I have a shaving jug given to me as a present which I have only used twice. I am will to swop it for other shaving gear such as blades, aftershaves, razors, whatever, open to all offers. I will cover the postage.

Smart Guy · 15-01-2010 11:22am

I also have a merkur progress with original box that I am willing to trade for a merkur 39c slant barber pole

Is that the long or regular handle?

Smart Guy · 01-02-2010 10:17am

Its the short handle

padi89 · 13-02-2010 12:37pm

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. I will throw in a pack of blades and some shaving samples from Trumpers.

Looking for 32 euro delivered. I have plenty of feedback on adverts.
