My merkeur progress in now gone to a good home anyone intersested in the saving jug. Picture already posted

Amalgam · 03-03-2010 9:34pm

A pack of Perma-Sharp (Turkey) safety razor blades for the taking. Minus one blade. Make a request on thread and I'll dump it in an envelope for you tonight\tomorrow.

sedohre · 04-03-2010 4:41am

Hi Amalgam, I would love to try these blades. I'm just starting to gather stuff to try shaving for the first time in over 10yrs.

Amalgam · 04-03-2010 4:48am

sedohre, great, PM me with a postal address of some sort and they'll go out first thing tomorrow.

Everyone is different, they might work better for you.

sedohre · 04-03-2010 5:35am

Hi, I new to shaving, and want to give it a whirl. The last time I shaved was over 10yrs ago, (I've used a beard trimmer ever since)

Are there people out there who are willing to send me their old razors, blades they have moved on from and soaps, anything that they want to get rid of (related to shaving of course). I'd appreciate it. I would give me some idea as to what suited me and that I'd need to buy in the future.

Here's hoping

Thanks

seanybiker · 04-03-2010 5:56am

If any of ye have one of them 3 piece razors like the one that was posted here for sale or whatever, could you let me know please.

Amalgam · 05-03-2010 4:24pm

SWAP

Monsavon -> 15 Gillette Super Thin

-or-

Monsavon -> 15 Gillette 7 O'Clock (Green) Super Stainless

---

I'd like the blades to be in retail packaging, not loose.

Straight swap.

I'll cover P&P etc, at my end. You cover the P&P for the blades.

If you have any other branded Gillette blades, except the following:

Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum 'Black' (India)

Gillete 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge 'Yellow' (Russia)

I'd happily accept them too. Cheers.

Apologies for anyone abroad, for the sake of P&P, I'd like to keep the transaction within Ireland.

Amalgam · 07-03-2010 8:59pm

Withdrawing the above exchange, just.. used a tub for the first time in a while, too nice to give away. I'd rather have the shaving cream, instead of the blades.

padi89 · 27-03-2010 4:36pm

Another DE Razor

Didn't get on with my progress so i decided to go vintage. Bought a Gillette Flair tip and a Red Tip as i wasn't sure which would suit me. The Red is perfect for me so I am letting the Flair go. It's a slightly milder shave than the Red but still as incredibly smooth. The build quality of these razors are incredible and will last a life time. The condition is near mint, it literally looks like a brand new razor.
€20 that includes postage.The date code is C-4 / 1957

If anyone is interested and needs pics, just ask. I have loads of feedback on adverts.

padi89 · 30-03-2010 3:51pm

Happy with my setup now i have two brushes so one is going.

I have it form brand new since the beginning of January, it has been well looked after and is in excellent condition. Works well with creams and soaps so a good all rounder, the silver tips are absolute luxury on the face.

Price is €27 which is half the cost of a new one and i will include postage.

I have plenty of +++ feedback an adverts.

Have 2 packs of 5 Derby Extras I'm looking to get rid of FOC.

I'm now at the stage where I'm getting consistent results with a range of other blades (especially, Feathers, Wilkinson Swords and Personas) but the Derbys just don't do it for me:(.

They were one of the first blades I tried when I first took up DE shaving about 4 months ago but they seemed to irritate my skin and left me with numerous small nicks.

I put it down to poor technique in the beginning but now that I feel I've (somewhat) mastered that, the Derbys are still giving me poor results.

So, anyone interested in taking these off my hands PM me your address and I'll pop them in an envelope before the weekend. First to PM me gets the blades.

Lert the "Derby" begin!:pac:

All I have up for trade are Bolzano Superinox x 4, Croma Diamant x 9 & Shark Super Stainless x 4. If they don't tickle your fancy, tis no problem.

If any one else is interested in them, I'll post them on no problem. If you have some swaps, I'd be interested in Red Personna & Perma Sharps

padi89 · 06-07-2010 12:14pm

Only looking for feathers as a trade, would sell the blades at €9 posted if anyone is interested.

DeadSkin · 06-07-2010 5:39pm

No worries padi89

If any one is interested in them, I'll pop them in an envelope and post 'em on!!

The Futur is used. it has some light marks on the head and some bumps at the end of the handle. The price reflects this. Please refer to the pictures.

If you are starting out with safety razors, I would not suggest starting with the Futur.

The Van Der Hagen Shaving Brush is a fairly stiff Boar Brush, a Boar Brush will take up and release water in a different manner, compared to a Badger Hair Brush.

All bundle prices include Postage & Packing for the 26 Counties.

---

The Lea sticks have markings on the inner tube. This was caused by the sticks being loose in the plastic tubes and being transported back, in luggage, from the Canaries..

Everything, apart from the safety razors, is new and unused.

Nothing against Merkur, but I've settled pretty much on the Edwin Jagger shaving head, on top of the Parker handle I bought from Cabaal last year. There will be more purchases.

But it is highly unlikely any of the razors will be 'modern'.

Amalgam · 11-08-2010 8:00pm

Free to take. Posted at my expense.

Aloe+ Lanzarote 100ml

TAKEN

Aftershave lotion, moisturising and rich with Aloe.

Reply on thread or send a PM.

Please don't 'just take it' for the sake of it, if you're not going to use it, let someone else make use of it. Cheers.

Unused.

TAKEN

Jay P · 11-08-2010 8:52pm

Hi Amalgam, I can take the lotion off your hands. I had a Clarins one but it ran out a while back and wouldn't mind trying something new if that'd be alright

Amalgam · 11-08-2010 9:04pm

Jay P, no bother. Send me a PM with a postal address and it'll go out tomorrow morning.

I'm not into lotions at all, aftershave is what works for me.

Fingers Mcginty · 25-08-2010 11:29pm

Howdy close shavers...I have 3 packs of sealed japanese feathers to swap...let me know what you have........

GowlBag · 03-09-2010 12:39pm

Hi lads,

I bought some Iridium Super along with some others recently. Still trying to figure you what's best for me. Now I know these certainly aren't! So there are 9 left untouched in the box. If these are your cup of tea then they are yours F.O.C. unless you have any Gilette 7 O'Clock Yellow that you don't like!

PM me!

Smart Guy · 03-09-2010 12:44pm

I have been lookiing at my collection of razors and have a merkeur progress that I am thinking of swopping. It is the short handle version. It is in mint condition in its original case. Any proposals.

Hard to explain, but.. it isn't a soap. A mutton like cream, you lather on it and it will provide a lather that will put many creams and soaps to shame.

Only decent tallow product out there, in my opinion.

seosamh · 06-09-2010 11:54pm

Amalgam,
You know your soap and Monsavon is a great performer, which explains its popularity in France, available in every little shop and big supermarket there. Apparently, it is owned by Sarah Lee, the American big food company.

Would you know where I could pick up MWF wash to use as a prep?

Ah go on so....PM me your address and I'll send them on

Amalgam · 07-09-2010 3:33am

You won't regret it Fingers Mcginty, neither one thing or the other, bit of an odd product altogether. The only downside is, if you decide you'd like more, it is impossible to get at a sensible price outside of France.

seosamh · 07-09-2010 11:29am

Thanks Amalgam for the encouragement. How are you fixed for Monsavon? I have one more to spare and still have enough to last me a good while.

OK next up I have a Semogue 1305 boar brush that I recently bought on shaving.ie ...Haven't really used it that much as I prefer my old no name badger. It's in great nick and gets rave reviews everywhere!

CrowdedHouse, Anything interesting in blades or reasonably-priced soaps?

CrowdedHouse · 11-09-2010 11:14am

Nothing much in the soap department...

Blades : KAI, Gillette Bleue Extra, Gillette 7 O'Clock Green
Permasharp(india), Shark, Bluebird.......

How about one of each for your soap ?

seosamh · 11-09-2010 9:04pm

Sounds good, I'd prefer sealed packs, how would that work?

Hi Guys

I bought a Merkur Futur a few weeks ago having decided to upgrade from my 34C HD. It's obviously a quality Razor but I found that the handle was too long for my liking & I actually prefer the 34C.

It's in 'as new' condition & I still have the box for it which is also 'as new'. I am open to offers for the Razor or indeed I would consider a swap for something else (Razor/Cream/Soaps/Blades etc). If you would like to see photos of this type of Razor see page 5 of this thread and look for Amalgam's post, it's Razor number 3 that I have, which shows the Futur in all it's glory.

Thanks
