Fuzzy, you experience a difference between the PAL blades from Ted Pella and the blades of the same brand obtained locally?

Hey Fuzzy, Have one of the Pal blades you sent me in the 07 GEM Jr Bar to try today. That is if I shave today. Getting lazy these days and don't always shave everyday. But next SE shave will be with the Pal. Will let ya know how it turns out.

I've found the carbon steels to be better if I use them as everyday shavers rather than waiting for my beard to gain any length at all. Without that platinum coating that the Gems have they really seem to tug at the whiskers--and painfully so. If the stubble is short I don't notice this. Curiously enough they seem to be smoother when executing XTG strokes than they do making WTG passes.

I used a PAL that I picked up local to take care of a months growth and it did super good this afternoon. (Before and after pics posted elsewhere here.) Fuzzy

Thanks Fuzzy. I finally got to use one of the PALs you sent me. Great blade gave me a very comfortable smooth BBS shave. Think I may just go away from my rotation and use the SE for a few more days to see how long the blade lasts.

I'm curious if the carbon steel blades listed on the TP site are the same as the Treets or Blue Stars. The OP was going to send me a couple to try but he never did. The price on these is great if they're as good as the Treets or Blue Stars.

Fuzzy Thanks, I appreciate the offer, but I'm interested in the three facet blades.

I didn't realize the Pal's are three faceted until I went back and read it again. I'm curious about the PAl's but I haven't found anywhere around here that sells them. I can get the Treets and Blue Stars at several places for less than $4 for 10 blades. I'm just wondering how the three facet Gem blades that TP sells compare to the ones sold at retail stores. But, I've got enough blades stockpiled that I don't need any for probably 2 years so I don't really know why I'm thinking of buying more!
