| 745024 | 2009-02-05 00:49:00 | You know the old garden variety Gillette/Wilkinson double edge blade, been using them for the last 60yrs., can't find them in the shops anymore. Looks like I am going to get dragged into the 21st century & have to use 4times the price cartridges: mad: | jebby (4580) | ||

| 745027 | 2009-02-05 11:03:00 | I'm fair sure they're in most supermarkets, generally the no frills type brand. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 745028 | 2009-02-06 20:14:00 | Years ago when they brought out the first 3 blades razors I thought it would be great to do a comedy sketch on razor blades. You know - Try our new 7 blade razor ! for the smoothest cut, the first blade cuts the hair, the second blade gets the next bit. And now we introduce our new 13 blade razor, you will never want a 3 blade razor again. Using Titanium blades they are so smooth, they cut your hair before they even grow. But seriously I have read that Gillette and Schick are working on 7 blade razors. |

| 745029 | 2009-02-07 00:12:00 | I have been trying to get "ordinary" razor blades for some years. They are so useful for model making etc. and have about the sharpest edge known. The $2 shops sell rigid backed blades, like those that were used in a reciprocating type of razor more years ago than I care to remember. :) But the cutting edges are very poor quality. Countdown Upper Hutt don't stock ordinary safety razor blades. Their "Home Brand" variey are 3 blade cartridge packs (checked out this morning) |

| 745030 | 2009-02-07 02:36:00 | I thought this was gonna be another VietNam war protest post, but I guess not . {Where Have All The Flowers Gone?} I HATE those multi-bladed things . They are hard to get under your nose and I usually wind up slicing a nostril before I can get close enough with the fancy "Lub-R-Bar" and the distance it is until a cutting edge can get into the nooks and crannies below my nose . NO NOSE JOKES PLEASE! |

| 745032 | 2009-02-07 06:36:00 | Hey jebby, you can order them off eBay (http://www.ebay.com). Don't think I've seen any Gillette's, though Feather's, Platnium's, Derby's are all there for around $10US per 100. Shipping's only a few dollars as well. | trinsic (6945) | ||
