    And the DE safety razor is still the best way to shave.

    I used my Slim Adjustable this morning with A Feather blade. You really can’t beat TTO DE razors.

    You got a lot for your money back then. Nowdays the equivalent would be around 100 dollars or more.

      @DouglasSmythe  Před 2 lety

      Not sure I understand? Traditional shaving can be cheaper that multiblade cartridges! I mean, 100 safety blades cost between $9-$16, where as cartridge blades are like 4 for $25! So I think it’s fair to say, you still get a lot for your money when you opt for the right (or better) tool for the job, no?

      @@deadcell4837 honestly, if they were mass produced the prices would be low. Especially if the US still had the means to manufacture them. I know there are a lot of great razors out there for under 30 dollars. Heck, i have seen some quality shavers for under 15! We ourselves sell what I think are some of the best on offer today for under 100 easy!

      @@DouglasSmythe fair point. It would be good to see quality razors like the ones from back in the day to be mass produced again. Sadly though modern business dictates that they churn out low quality at a high price for profit. I doubt we will ever truly see the ratio of quality vs cost again like it was back in the day.
