I know what you mean but there is an easy way around that one..All you do is have a another tab with the reverse translation ..In other words German back to English and you can see what's there & edit accordingly...If you don't want to use Google Translate because it might give you strange translation without you realising it (and it will), you can always ask any German speaking member here for a translation

I actually forgot...This seller has another couple of batches if anyone else wants to partner up..They don't all show up after you save it in your favourite's for some reason but here is the original German EBay Search..

Well the thing is that sometimes you get a Foreign seller that doesn't speak or cant read English and He/She goes..Doe !...They are also more likely to get back to you and help if you go to the trouble of using their own language..That's my experience..I aways tell them that I am Scottish..I think that helps an All...After all..Old Rudolf Hess liked dropping into Scotland...You can have hours of fun by having Google translate a sentence from English to German. Then back to English. Then back to German. Etc...

I took the following sentence from your post:Well the thing is that sometimes you get a Foreign seller that doesn't speak or cant read English and He/She goes..Doe !...They are also more likely to get back to you and help if you go to the trouble of using their own language..That's my experience..I aways tell them that I am Scottish..I think that helps an All...After all..Old Rudolf Hess liked dropping into Scotland...

Google translates this as
Back into English
Not identical, but looks alright. Problem is - the German sentence is awful German and hardly makes sense. Not sure how Google does it....

In such circumstances, you have to take an open minded approach and think laterally, never mind the grammar and vocabulary being off. I just bought a brush seemingly made of mangoes - but the photos of it look really good, with ancient olive wood handle as ordered.

I wholeheartedly agree with Billy's positive comments on these vintage Twinblades. They are absolutely amazing and gives me the best injector shaves I've ever had.
Actually used on this very morning in my near-mint Schick Type O
Did they ever get back to you ? I would like some to try

I got word back from that German Seller...Those NOS Schick Injector blades will cost 9 Euro postage to the UK...He also offered a Deal of 17 Magazines of X 10 for 100 Euro & same postage..That would make a great group buy that..
Forget the Chop Stick Chinese Schick blades folks and get these..
