Greetings

Folks that use the PAL shaving quality blades still say they are great blades, unfortunately I have been unable to get any, whilst it is possible(at a ludicrous price) to buy GEM Blue Stars and Treet carbons I am unable to find any merchant willing to ship PAL shaving blades to the UK. The PAL blades in the 100 box that I tried can be purchased here and as I said I found them awful.
You folks in the states can get them off Amazon, and I am sure many other places including local drug stores.

We've been out of town for a brief vacation, so this has been my travel setup for the last couple days. Lightweight and pretty much unbreakable.

You are quite correct you now can order them and I have done so. £9.49 for 5 blades, shipped!! I'll call that taking one for the team, fortunately I still have one of my PAL blades that came from a hundred box so when the new blades arrive I'll load up one of each in identical OCMM's and test them against each other.

Thanks for the info.

Regards
Dick.

No problem. I used the same process a few days ago to order some Schick branded injector blades. I want to compare them to the Personnas which are readily available in the UK

SOTD 24th May.JPG​
Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Sensitive Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: iKon 101 + OSS Handle
Blade: Super-Max Super platinum (#1)
Brush: Mason Pearson Super Badger
Cream: Truefitt & Hill No.10
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphrey's Witch Hazel
AS: Nivea Replenishing Balm

The T&H No.10 cream and the Mason Pearson were a lovely match, fantastic lather. Shame the same could not be said for the pairing of the iKon 101 and the Super-Max Super Platinum blade, a fairly mediocre result, not a very close result but no nicks or weepers and no irritation so not all bad.
 
BBA Pre Shave Oil
Proraso Green soap
Mason Pearson pure badger
Merkur Futur/ Derby Super(2)
No post shave balm
Al Rehab Lord

Only one days growth, I usually shave every two days but I was just "in the mood" for a shave after a rubbish day at work.
First pass WTG.. second ATG.
The result was was the best shave I've had in weeks.
The BBA oil really is wonder stuff. My skin feels nourished even over an hour later without any balm.
First time with Al Rehab Lord. Just a quick roll to either side of the neck, I didn't want to over do it !
It's quite a nice scent, a little reminiscent of incense but nicer. It's a very clean scent.

Good evening to you good people.

What he said about Truefitt & Hill No.10 cream - a very underestimated product. Cheap as chips - super slick. I
