I imagine they will be taken down at sometime.

Yeah, it's called scalping. Fuck them, I hope they bought a shit load and can't sell them. Aww shame.

Yes, but four followers! Why don't we 'follow' but never buy anything (obviously)?

If those Vidyuts were of interest to anyone, 200 for £6 here: https://www.coolblades.co.uk/super-max-double-sided-razor-blades.html

Another supplier that I've used a lot, over many years, for blades and Spanish requisites is Gemstone Trading. They don't have as much as they used to, for various reasons, but there are some Astras, Gillettes and a couple of others available.

I don't think I'd put much trust in the apparently now sole-seller of blades on Fleabay.

Taking the piss with those prices!

Absolutely!

BIC Astor! They're a world of difference from the hateful BIC Crome ... good resource. Thanks.

I thought it was the same blade! I should go back and run a comparison of both.

Bic Chrome Platinum is the strangest blade, had some absolute stinkers and a few gems. I think they had some issues with QC.

Things are changing. Look at this - p&p free. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22547545...9/4YMXZqbeVjq6iTfgUqHiw84=|tkp:Bk9SR-yP-77aYQ

I wonder if they’re rolling back on this policy?

They should ... it's insanely stupid!

People who buy razor blades (particularly online) are folks who want to use them for shaving. It does not give easy access to scrotes who want to make up some sort of weapon. If they did, they'd walk into any supermarket and steal them rather than wait several days for delivery. Besides, they'd look pretty silly with a razor blade weapon when the UK is pretty much the world's worst place for knife crime; so much so that machetes are par for the course, not razor blades (sewn into Baker Boy hats ... on the streets, it really is NOT the 1870s).

Garden equipment is still readily available on eBay - what's more terrifying? This? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254948088418 or a pack of Sputniks?

Blow me down! What a farce.

The listing seems to be down, so I presume they have not updated their policy.

Blades are all removed from that Vidyut/Feather seller, too.
