@Paul do you have a physical shop or is it just online?

@Paul is there a lot of demand for wet shaving product these days with the silly prices of cartridge razors?

hope you dont mind me asking as im curious as i dont know anyone personally into wet shaving let alone someone who owns a business within the wet shaving field

I understand they come with two inserts, one for a half blade and the other for a DOVO blade. Might make a difference.

so I was wondering with de blades there's loads of brands out there but why are there like only so many of them that offer pre cut SE blades?

Could it be supply and demand. I have no idea otherwise.

Yea could be true

Ive seen about 5-10 brands off the top of my head, just wonder why brands like feather, nacets etc don't do ready made SE blades

I've got some friends who modifiy blades to fit archaic blade holders which only would accomodate propriety blades. These same friends use Schick blades in GEM razors and unspined GEM blades for various holders. It is sort of a hobby within a hobby for them.

If you got a vintage razor, brand new in packaging would you use it or keep it the way it is in the packaging?

It would have to provide utility.

I've been thinking about it a lot but one day these razors belonged to someone else now they're long gone but there razors are still around today, did get me thinking that someone will one day use my shaving gear when I won't be here

True, but tools were made to use. My Schick Krona reminds me of my grandfather. He had one and I used it.

Last month one of the grandchildren lost the key to a lock. I used my grandfather bolt cutter to cut off the lock hasp

That's nice youve got fond memories

Unfortunately I didnt have any male role models let alone anyone to teach me how to shave, feel like I missed out but saying that I'm sure they wouldve just used shaving foam and a cart lol

For me, there is just something about use….

Yea I get it too, I am the sort that will use something as I think it's pointless just having it unless like you say it's extremely rare, the razors I had in mind aren't really raew anyway, maybe a bit of a one off due to being brand new in packaging

any used those super max cartridge razors in savers?

Seems there's a few available like 2/3 blades etc for like a quid each too
