Urgent request for T1D pump supplies for my wife

My wife has Type 1 diabetes and uses a Tandem T:slim X2 insulin pump.

She ran out of cartridges today and needs one to make it through the weekend until her supplies arrive on Tuesday.

Are there any type 1 diabetics in the area that have a cartridge to spare? I think she usually uses the 6mm set with 25 inch tubing but she can make anything work. Thank you in advance!

My wife has Type 1 diabetes and uses a Tandem T:slim X2 insulin pump, specifically AutoSoft XC 6mm infusion set with 23 inch tubing.

She ran out of cartridges today and needs one to make it through the weekend until her supplies arrive on Tuesday.

Are there any type 1 diabetics in the area that have a cartridge to spare? I think she usually uses the 6mm set with 25 inch tubing but she can make anything work. Thank you in advance!

Need help finding new SR + Blade combo

Hello! I’ve been a long time lurker here and would like your all’s help in helping me find a hardware setup that doesn’t leave my neck feeling like I’ve been wearing a sandpaper scarf.

For context, I currently use Stirling Shave soap almost exclusively. I generally shave right after getting out of the shower. For hardware I’m using a 1p, closed comb, Butterfly SR I found on Amazon (no idea what the brand is) with Astra Platinum blades. I usually replace the blade after 2 shaves. I’ve been using this same hardware setup for 8-9 years.

I’ve reached my limit with my hardware as it seems that no matter what I do (WTG, double lather, etc), I can’t get a clean shave without getting horrible razor burn on my neck. This wasn’t an issue when I first started wet shaving almost a decade ago, but my hair has gotten thicker and coarser since then.

I’ve tried looking up reviews online for SRs and I honestly can’t figure out what qualities separate a $20 SR from a $100+ Most reviews I saw said it depends on the material. My SR hasn’t corroded or rusted at all and I love the weight, texture, and length of the handle. So maybe my issue isn’t the SR itself but the blades I’m using, which I am also completely lost when it comes to the differences.

That’s the gist of it. Any help, suggestions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
