Hey folks,

First time poster in the forums. I hail from Brampton, Ontario, Canada (home of The Rose) I hope this is in the right area; I looked around and this seemed to be the most appropriate section to post this in. If it's not, I apologize.

I am so sick and tired of constantly having to buy replacement blades for my Gillette Fusion Power (pssshtt, as if the so-called "power" does anything significant anyways. All it seems to do is waste batteries).

Anyhoo...been on the fence about going with straight razor. Watched Lynn Abram on YouTube, and I gotta say I'm hooked. I never looked at shaving in this light before. You know, taking the time to actually pamper myself and get my day started off on the right foot, so to speak. I guess you can say I was one of the mindless drones who just quickly lathered up with my generic foam from my red Gillette can and stroked away at the bristles hurriedly.

So now that I'm hooked, one might ask (if one gave a damn) why I'm still on the fence. Being a newbie, the equipment is fairly expensive (especially when one is out of a job due to being laid off). I've done my research, I've looked around. I've settled with an online retailer but I'm looking at things like customs & duties and of course shipping charges. Not to mention the currency exchange.

I was wondering if anybody had a valid "Promotional Code" for classicshaving.com, I could use to help lessen the cost by a few bucks. I know it seems tacky to not make the purchase because of a few bucks, but to be honest, that white blank "Promotional Field" just staring at me with no value assigned to it was enough for me to hold off on my purchase and just look around a bit more and of course, ask my question here.

Hope this wasn't offensive in any way and/or against the rules. I didn't see any rules regarding asking for this kind of material(s) and if it does exist, please point me to the post and I'll gladly oblige.
