Blade Source?

[Philadelph]

Just for the record, I still don't use DE's lol. I bought a Lady Gillette for my fiancé and now I need to find blades! What is the cheapest source for good blades? Also, what kind of blades should I go for? Keep in mind this is for leg shaving, not face. Thanks!

PM me your address - I'll send you a pack of Derby's for her to try (nice mild blade).

Also, most drugstores carry at least one brand of DE blades.

cheers,

Derbys are an excellent DE blade, maybe the very best blade for a mild, but still very effective shave. Out of about 10 brands I've tried, my favorites are: Derbys on the mild side, Feather when I'm on my game, and Israeli Personna is kind of in-between. Not quite as forgiving as Derby, but not quite as scary sharp as Feather.

I bought a big pack of Derby's for my wife's lady gillette. They were cheaper than the Walmart personna blades, even with shipping. I got em from Amazon

Hi Alex,
Awwwwww, you're a sweet man to get your significant other involved in your 'hobby'. You already have two good sources from other members posts. I might also include Welcome To Connaught Shaving
I've never bought from them, but I heard good things about the service. The prices are pretty darn good, and he carries MWF in the nice bowl. Also, I believe he's based in the UK.
Of the three sites, I'd probably go with the sampler West Coast offers, called the 'Choice', and costs $13.75. There's a good assortment of sharp blades mixed with milder ones, and all those blades have a strong following. I'd also suggest ordering a pack of Iridium Super blades along with whatever you end up with. Sharp, but forgiving, with many good reviews about em.
Hope that helps,
Martin

Oh.......if you order a sampler with Dorco blades, make sure you'll be getting the platinum 301, and not the regular 300 model. Yes, there IS a difference from what I've read.

+1. Still working through my first sampler from West Coast Shaving.
