.... or, instead of getting trades, you all might look at Buy Individual Razor Blades for Double Edge, Single Edge and Shavettes for some blades to try. I did. Found some shavette blades to try and lets you get a few blades with decent shipping, to try, before committing to a bunch of blades that are just "not for me".

Aloha!

Oddly, I have never tried Bolzano. I ordered some last month from Amazon and they are sitting in my shave cabinet. I'll try them soon. Looking forward to it. They have a good following, and most that try them are very happy with the shave result.

I checked Amazon today and my favorite blade, the Personna Lab in the blue box is only $12.36 for a 100 box of them. With my Prime they ship free and here in 2 days. Improved blades and let me tell you, they are smooth and sharp. Work extremely well for me, YMMV.

Coincidentally I used a feather for the 1st time this morning. Hands down....the best shave of my life!
