Very nice blades!!! Would like to have the money.

Hello Steve, many thanks for advise!! I also tried to find it on Amazon Japan store - but unfortunately I was not successful - most probably due to my Japanese language skills... 😎 (even there is a English version available as well) kind regards Klaus

Hi John, good idea - of course with a service fee... 🙂 kind regards Klaus

Hi John, you are right, they also don´t ship to Austria.... Seems to be a too "exotic" country 😎

Hello Barry, many thanks for information. Do you have a email or web address from Paul Martin? thx Klaus

Hello John, Hello Brano, many thanks, highly appreciated!! kind Regards Klaus

Hello, based on several advises I tried to buy this "Microdear Mikrofiber Deluxe". But unfortunately here in Europe, Amazon is not offering it and shipping from Amazon US is quite expensive (84 USD ). I of course tried to find it on the store from Amazon in Japan - but also did not find it. I would be very happy if somebody could sell me such fabrics or advise me where I can find it. Many thanks in Advance Klaus

Fully agree with you! I will definitely buy from him again!

Hello, it´s me again. I am very happy as I found two very nice Chuso and have to thank Mark very much.
