20 Polsilver SI blades. I've had a tuck or two but haven't used them in a while. I'm anxious to see how they compare to my two go to blades, GSBs and Voskhods. I'm looking for a combination of sharp and smooth. I find the GSBs offer both, with the Voskhods just a small hair behind.

I put them up there with the GSB but they're getting more pricey because of popularity

I think the price issue has to do with the rumors that keep floating around that they were discontinuing production of these blades. Nothing like artificially inflating the price of things.

Yep a seller in particular kept starting that rumor. I need to stock up on them but will wait for the swing to drop again. Gor plenty of others to use while waiting 👍
 
As someone who works for a fortune 500 bank and used to work in the credit card fraud division years ago. Trust me PayPal is the SMARTEST way to shop online. The next safest is just using a credit card with a good fraud liability clause. The absolute worst is using your debit card online. Most debit cards you can be held responsible for all fraud under $50. That's why the criminals always use debit cards for transactions under $50 less likely to get the card shut off for irregular activity. Obviously some debit card issuers are better than others but I still would never use one for an online purchase
 
5 Polsilvers. They're probably the most popular DE blade that I've yet to try.

And I agree with Chad. I'm more comfortable with PayPal than any other type of payment.

I also never use my debit card for purchases. NEVER. I merely use it to draw cash from the ATM. That's it. Nothing else. All purchases are made using a credit card. Purchases off the bay are paypal. I always pay off my credit cards every month so I'm not worried about it piling up which I can see would be a good reason to use a debit card rather than a credit card. That wasn't always the case for me though. When I was in my 20's I pretty much maxed out my credit cards every month. It was a miserable existence financially. Long ago in the past fortunately.

Been watching this maker in Russia for awhile. In another neighborhood a member posted it as a new acquisition. I messaged inquiring on some details and he indicated how it was perfect accept for 6 week wait and a little longer handle than he wanted. Offered it at 2/3 price. Taking a chance on it for that to dress up the Game Changer hopefully. We'll see...... I may just be disappointed too.......

Sounds like a good flyer to me!
 
I bought a set of 53 East and 51st from Dr. Jon's earlier today. Still haven't gotten around to picking out a bay rum set. Might mix and match.
