Did any of you guys get the chance to try out the new razors?

I've used it a couple of times. I'm gonna use another the rest of the week; but my initial thoughts aren't super positive. To me, it's now quite as sharp as the Feather and tugs at my beard a little. That said, it's a lot more forgiving than the Feather. Too early to render a verdict, though ... so I'm gonna keep slicing and dicing.

I have all kinds of new goodies showing up in the next day or so. My first reason for going to a double edge was I am sick and tired of paying for those damn cartridges.

Plus I used to use a brush and mug and I miss the ritual of getting a shave ready and done.

I went with the works
Taylor Of Bond Preshave
Kent/Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap
A 25 blade sample pack including Merkur, Astra, Feather, Derby and Wilkinsons
An Edwin Jagger Classic Razor
And a new badger

Looking forward to getting the package

That's one of the main reasons I started looking for alternatives. I'm glad I found it and won't look back. Looks like you have some nice stuff coming. Enjoy!

All of this shave talk has me interested. I went over and joined badgerand blade. Who wants to do a trade? I don't have a DE razor, many soaps or creams. I'll do a really nice cigar trade for a made up starter kit if anyone is interested.
