So I've decided to go with an Edwin Jagger 89 and would like to pick up a "sample pack" of blades with the order. Anyone know of an online source that has a variety of sample packs that i can choose from? Thanks

Hello, Michael:
The following vendors also have sampler packs:
BullGoose, Westcoastshaving and Connought, among some of the other vendors listed here at SRP.

WCS samplers are AWESOME
for $12 shipped i got a lil pack of:
astras
feathers
red personnas
israeli iridiums
and something else i cant remember
Thanks Obie. I looked up bullgoose and got the Ed Jagger 89 and a sample pack consisting of 60 blades. Did not do a lot of research on blades so i hope this sampler covers the better offerings in DE blades.
FEATHER HI STAINLESS 10
PERSONNA (RED IP) 10
SHARK SUPER CHROME 5
SHARK STAINLESS 5
DERBY EXTRA 5
ASTRA SUPERIOR PLATINUM 5
GILLETTE SHARP EDGE 5
TREET PLATINUM 5
SUPERMAX SUPER STAINLESS 10 ($19.80/ 60 blades)
As I know Obie is going to suggest, the same way back when I started, when you get the razors -- try the Gillette's first. (Green/Yellow pack). You may get hooked on these and look no further for any other blades. I know I did :) It's a great combo in an DE89L
Hello, Michael:
You are welcome.
Your choice of the Edwin Jagger 89 is excellent. That's a favorite of mine. Did you get the lined or the chrome? 89L is the lined.
The blade pack looks good. The Feather is a great blade and one of my preferred blades. The Gillette Sharp Edge (yellow pack) is almost as sharp as the Feather, but I feel it is smoother, and also one of my preferred blades, especially in the Pils.
I also like the Astra and the red Personnas. For me, Astra is a sweet combination with the Edwin Jagger 89. Treet is good, too. Derby is a good utility blade — one blade per shave, for me. Shark has a plus and minus reputation: from what I have read, some people like it and some don't. I don't. It might work for you, though.
So, my dear Michael, it's happy times. Ah, yes, the Gillette Sharp Edge especially will be a pleasant surprise.
Regards,
Obie
