Didn't that happen well over a year ago? And wasn't it your great great great great great Grandson's life they were set for..?
No, no Spoilers. There was 2,000 Dark/Maltese Platinums about 16 months ago.
They say a picture tells a thousand words...
Once again, very impressed with the shipping speed from shaving.ie
Yes, Chris is one of the best. Just so you know, your blades (in bulk) are best from BestShave.net - They are pretty much the cheapest for Astra and Derby, plus they are the place you can get the PermaSharp Supers. $2.50 Alum, $2.50 Stryptics, plus some other interesting stuff.
OK, it has been a B-I-G (read HUGE!!!) day for me and my credit card (why does Paypal allow you to use credit card?)
One of the most beautiful razors Gillette ever made in my view
Holy shit Mark, you have outdone yourself now. That's better than any NOS Bottom-Dial with case, shipper and plastic wrap if you ask me. It's a serious piece of kit and rarer than the fowl's incisors.
Save money you say? :laugh: That's what I keep telling myself (and my wife).
A big thanks to ~Spyne~ for sending me a great blade sampler pack!
I thought I recognised the writing on the Barber Personna.... it's mine lol :embarrest:
The White Platinum (Top Left) is an amazing blade, rivals the famed 'Swede' in shave experience although the longevity is not as good. If you want to buy them, expect to pay $1.50/blade delivered though a Spain-based eBay seller. Amazing in the Gillette NEW open combs.
The one below it is the 'Dark' Platinum, or it is sometimes called a 'Maltese' Platinum. I bought 2,000 of these from the eBay seller based in Malta. They are a good all-round blade, sharp enough, smooth enough, decent longevity. Ideal in the FlareTip you have coming, or the Slim dialled up to a big number. Best result in a RedTip - basically a FlareTip but it is heavier (and more aggressive).
The one in the big plastic thing top-right is the fabled NOS GBE's, usually made 3rd Quarter of 2000. Wait until your Slim arrives, dial it to 6, and enjoy.
The rest are self Explanatory, although the Shark in the centre is the Super Stainless, while the one at the bottom is the Super Chrome - both made by LORD in Egypt.
You are missing a few, so I will see what I can pull out of the bag.
