Thread: Oil for Razor Storage

I've used Ballistol with good results.

Would this be the stuff you are mentioning? http://www.agrussell.com/accessories.../rustfree.html

I had been looking at getting some tuf-glide, but when I inquired they would not sent it to me here in Oz with normal shipping some thing to do with dangerous goods or something. I think they wanted $50 for shipping, that was for a cloth and also a bottle of tuf-glide.

errr WTF?

I had mine (the Tuf-glide) shipped here by classicshaving, and Im fairly sure the shipping was not $50.

It depends on when it was shipped. The current US administration seems to be bent on killing trade and tourism. After my last experience, I'm scared of flying to/via the US and it has nothing to do with airplanes/heights/speeds/flying. From now I'm flying directly even if it does cost an extra 200 or so.

It was shipped less than 2 weeks ago...

This is my email from Sentry Solutions

"John,

Where exactly are we shipping to? We need the postal code and city name.

Because of the Tuf-glide it must ship UPS and the cost is likely to be more than $50 US.

This is one of the reasons we set up distributors. They try to absorb the very high shipping costs over large shipments of product.

If you order directly from us you will of course, see the shipping cost as an add on charge."

We do actually have a reseller here in Oz, http://store.legear.com/sentrysolution.html but their prices were much higher than US prices, and they were expensive to ship with also.

I just checked again, Classic Shaving has the small bottle of Tuf-Glide for $US9.99 and shipping to a non US address is $US10.58

AND my products arrived within 7 days from the time I placed the order.

I suggest you try there...
