What’s new to you?

Sweet Dave! definitely need to let us know how the Signature works out for you. That is one I want (with matching aftershave) but need to wait until after the holidays!
 
I check Craigslist a couple of times a week, never expecting to find anything, but I check anyway. I found a listing a couple of weeks ago & I responded to it but didn't hear back. It said to text or call, so I texted, then called a couple of days later & left a message. Same thing a few days later, text & call, no reply. But Sunday, as I'm walking into church I get a text just saying "it's still available", that's all. I text back & we make arrangements to meet. It was better than expected. I met an older woman who said it belonged to her mom, but she doesn't think she even used it. She had used it, a blade was still in it, a Super Blue. But she either didn't use it much, or she took very good care of it. The original owners manual is still with it, & the case is in great shape! The razor is in pristine condition, no scratches, no brassing, it looks like I just bought it from the drugstore. Date code G3, & the Super Blue blade is also G3. It took almost two weeks, but I'm very happy I persisted. And I'm out just one Andrew Jackson.




 
Mail call from Cherry City which included some more samples

Some blades from Dkeester. I already have so Rapira Chrome Platinum and really like them. I wouldn't consider them a bad blade



And KJ sent some Shark Chrome blades

I know you are purposely going for BAD blades, but I thought I should include a few that you might not have used before or that might be polarizing. Enjoy the Merkur blade.
