Nice shave Mark! I enjoy using my Slim, great shaver! It's a shame you UK guys can't use ebay for blades anymore. It's usually where I get my bulk blades from. Have a good one! Steve

@FriendshipShaving 10 дней назад

Hi Steve. It is a shame but some of the guys here have pointed me to three terrific places to buy blades in the UK. All of them sell single packets or packets in bulk, if that's what you want, at a really good price. I'm ever so grateful.

Shaving time and Connaught in the uk are pretty good for buying bulk Mark. Maggards also are good and postage is similar to uk prices bizarrely. I have enough for the rest of my life 😬🤣

@FriendshipShaving 16 дней назад

Thanks Nick. I had just re-discovered Connaught. Do you know. it's ridiculous not being able to buy the razor blades you like! The world's gone mad 😁 I shall check out STime and Maggards. Thank you, mate👍

Hi Mark- Great shave; thank you! The Rabid Banana is definitely very nice, with a fantastic lather. I was hesitant because of the banana, but I’m glad I finally picked this up! I hope the contractor gets you sorted out quickly, too. Have a wonderful weekend and sending best regards, as always, my friend!

@FriendshipShaving 16 дней назад

Thank you, Mike. I too was a bit hesitant about bananas, until I tried Don Jose. I think Pitralon after shave might have a banana scent. Take care, my friend and enjoy your weekend👍

Hi Mark. I get a lot of my blades from La Barbiera UK. They have quite a good choice and it's always worth looking at their clearance items on the website. You're right about a poor choice on eBay nowadays. One of my favourites, made by Rise, is very hard to find now. I use the old dice trick to count how many times I've used a blade. I count head shaves as two uses of a blade. I rarely reach number 6 on the dice as, by then, the blade is starting to feel past its best. Good shave video, Mark. Have a great weekend.

@FriendshipShaving 14 дней назад

Thanks David, I shall have a look. Blades seem to be very expensive since Brexit and Covid. I can buy 500 Willys from Pearl in India for £12.72 - I don't know how much the postage will be but I suspect UK retailers are making a lot from from blades than they used to.

@BarbaTradicional 15 дней назад

Hey there Mark! Amazing shave. Nice looking brush indeed!

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

Hello, my friend.👍 It has a lot of backbone, so we will see how it breaks in.

@JonathanBurrell-q3f 13 дней назад

Great prices and free delivery from La Barbiera and great selection from Razor Blades Club

@FriendshipShaving 12 дней назад

Razor blade club! Flipping brilliant, Jonathan. Thank you very much indeed. I had forgotten about them! Connaught Shaving is good, too. Cheers

@RichardE62 16 дней назад

Try Razor Emporium for blades. In Arizona.

@RichardE62 16 дней назад

The blade makes the difference.

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

Thanks mate. The postage will likely be expensive to the UK, but I will have a look.

@RichardE62 16 дней назад

Ive got a couple of those razors. 1962 birthday year. Both in the same quarter I was born.

@fuzz7263 16 дней назад

One of the 1st de razor's I purchased when I started wet shaving 8+yrs ago, 1963 model, all with thanks to Mark and the Friendship Shaving YT channel way back then, never looked back 😊

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

Very nice Richard. I think it is brilliant that the razor is as old as me and, unlike me, isn't worn out 😂

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

Thanks Fuzz 👍 My goodness, have I been doing this for that long? I still enjoy it😃

@leehaseley2164 15 дней назад

Talking of birth date razors, Mark. Were Gillette still producing them in 1978?

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

They were still producing the black handled Super Speed and the Super Adjustable (Black Beauty) - I believe it may have been the Super 109, not the 84, and it came with a plastic bottom to the head. Still a very nice razor. It would have been the letter Y.

@leehaseley2164 15 дней назад

A fantastic shave all round, Mark. Finished off with Skinbracer is the icing on the cake. Please give my regards to your mum, and you both have a great weekend.

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

Will do mate, it always tickles her when people say hello through the channel. Thanks Lee.

@leehaseley2164 15 дней назад

Ebay used to be fantastically good for blades of lesser known brands, or variants otherwise unavailable, from India, Pakistan, and other places.

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

I can't buy blades from eBay anymore, Lee. The government stopped sales due to abuse by inner city teens pretending they are the Peaky Blinders, or some such bollocks. Even if I find a seller in India, via eBay they are not allowed to post to the UK; it used to be where I got all my blades!

@unclelshaves 16 дней назад

Great looking shave Mark💖💖 Have you tried Connaught Shaving for razor blades?👌🤠👌

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

I have just re-discovered them and found a few blades that I like at good prices. Thanks Lawrie.

@leehaseley2164 15 дней назад

I just saw that adjustable razor you got on Aliexpress for the same price you got it for and couldn't resist.

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

Why not! How can they do it for that price!😃

@leehaseley2164 15 дней назад

The idea of the banana had me turning my nose up, until you mentioned peanut butter. Now I love the idea of it🤣🤣🤣

@FriendshipShaving 15 дней назад

It is really nice, Lee. I promise!

@JimWillShave 14 дней назад

Are those blades made in India, Mark?

@FriendshipShaving 12 дней назад

They are from Bangladesh, Jim. It ended up being thrown after an awful third shave. Other blades from the same company include Sharp, Champion, Clifton and A Best.

A fine go to razor, Roy! It's a thing of beauty😀

@robertmacmoneagle6917 14 дней назад

What's the change in the law here in the UK that has made it that you can't get blades as easily now?

@MMGP_ASGAARD 13 дней назад

From what I understand the blades (and in some cases safety razors too) need to be signed for by someone over 18. This means that the cost of delivery increased greatly. The conversations I've had with retailers is they're pulling back from selling blades and razors as their logistics model is based upon Royal Mail 48 hour delivery and don't want to absorb the cost of paying for signed on delivery.

@FriendshipShaving 13 дней назад

Also there was a change in the selling conditions on eBay, so that razor blades became a banned item, but not cartridge razors. Amazon seems to have a lot less choice than they used to, as well. I was looking at 500 blades from Pearl in India, which cost £12.50 but the postage is £30. I think this is quite a common issue, worldwide. Postage rates seem to have gone up across the board.

@@MMGP_ASGAARD thanks for the explanation.
