If they're available, buy them. Top quality blade for most.

^^^^^ What he said

Then tell us where you found them if there are any left

Think it's a one off, but I will ask the question.

You guys excel at the rare blade thing.

 

[Monsta_AU]

Whatever you don't buy, I will.

 

[Maxime D.]

Oh just about the best stuff that ever left a Gillette factory.

Hey Tom
Any chance I can swap you a couple of packs of "Indian Blacks"?
I'm in Kardinya 6163.

ALWAYS ask. Surprising how many times they have more and were going to list them later.

Boom tish

Whatever you don't buy, I will.

Except I was in the queue first I think

Indeed you were Sir. My entry was badly phrased. If Tom proceeds with purchase and has a mind to, I would like to trial a few. Hence my request to swap.

EDIT: Ooops, just now realised. Include my apology anyway if you believed I was pushing forward.

What man doesn't have a go-to blade and at least two back-ups? I'm trying to find a second good blade that suits me, my go-to being Rapira Platinum Lux.
EDIT: I'm bored; sitting in the patio and sipping a single malt.
