Chad Uses BAD blades!

I honestly can't remember where the site was to send them. You could search there for the thread but I'd recommend just googling for it.
 
Thanks for reading guys.

As to the ice tempering I assume that service is for Straight Razors? Curious what our resident iron forger has to say about that.
 
Chad, I don't know if you want to start a separate thread to discuss this subject. Here's just 1 seller of cryogenic hardened blades. Pretty sure there are others too.

Shoot, can't share link on phone. Will fix when home

When you get the link, set up another thread. I'll be curious to see what people think about this process.

Okay the series has evolved and evolved. Because of that I have decided to add blades that I already have in my possession that I consider GOOD or better already because I have used them. And some I was gifted and didn't add to the series until now. So now the list includes literally everything in my den. Doug seeing as you sent a good portion of these blades you get to pick the next blade used if you see this. Next blade will be used Wednesday. Here is the updated list

Well this is a hobby of ymmv. But if someone rates a trash blade high I'll question you lol

Lol I'll be in this series all year!
 
For realz! At 3 shaves per blade that’s like 240 days, if I counted right. Since you take a break and shave in between “bad” blades, this will take the entirety of 2019 to complete. That’s dedication! No way I could commit to that.
 
Let's go with the Mem Super Silver Platinum.

That is one of the blades that I got off of eBay. They may be Serbian. They may be Chinese knock offs.

Also, if you are going to do good blades, I have a few more I could send you...
 
Chad did open the door for other bad blades...

It is a fun exercise and I am honestly hoping that some of these blades will be pleasant surprises. However, I am expecting quite a few of them to suck. Hopefully none of them will be bad enough to cause fluid loss.
 
And while he is doing this NEW torture blades will no doubt be made and brought to the market. Really we could keep this going indefinitely........
 
Trust me I am nervous about how long I can go at this. But I am actually enjoying the process. My only concern is the razor piece actually. I love my Timeless don't get me wrong but I enjoy using other razors too. Do you think it would ruin my scientific (already lack of) approach if I used other ones?

Also research has begun for the Mem Super Silver Platinum Blade.
