Gotta look for deals on ebay.  I just got 40 blades for 50 bucks.  $1.25 per blade.  Store cost is around 3 bucks per blade.  Me and another guy usually buy 'em in bulk and split the cost.

Yes sir.  Fusion.  Actually Power Fusion.  I've used both, I can't see any difference.  In this particular auction, they are listed as new but not in the packages.  Kind of unusual, but the seller has perfect feedback so we went ahead with purchase.

I swear by the Fusion also.  I own an S4 and will occasionally pull that out for something different.  Shaved today with a DE, does well on the top and sides but is difficult to use on the back of the head.

Tom, Medic, funny seeing you guys here.

Thanks pburke for the welcome.  Been a member here for awhile just never posted before.  I don't quite get the "bat in the cave" comment though.  No one ever accused me of being the sharpest tool in the shed, so I may be missing something.

Don't worry, we don't always get what Paul is saying either.

I've seen you lurke around for a while.  Thanks for posting up a few posts today!

By the way, what is a DE?  It's the end of the day and I'm not thinking straight... :px :/O
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Thanks Pigpen!  Got the blade shipment today.  Perfectly new blades, just not in packages.

Wazzup Medman.  It's difficult working two boards, I try to post on both (when I have something to say).  I've been thinking of giving the DE a try, just haven't worked up the nerve.

No problem posting.  I hope I can add something useful once in awhile.

DE is short for Double Edge razor.  Old school razors like our dad's used to use.  Not quite as dangerous as a straight razor but they do take some practice to use.  Here is a pic http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/522941/1888174.htm
