Sure, this goes way beyond functionality and necessity but, I appreciate the style and look of many safety razors out there so why should I care 'less' about how my cartridge razor looks like?
The inherent challenge with cartridge razors is that the head is a significant part of the overall look - but it's not something that is part of the permanent setup as they are disposed off. I'm thinking mostly of cartridge razors where the exchangeable cartridge has a significant impact on the overall appearance.
Let's take Mach 3 razors as an example (as I just got two handles so it's near and dear to me).
Once fitted with the cartridge, the head becomes a very big part of the razor and how it looks:
The cartridges above are btw Mach 3 Turbos.
I'll be honest in that I think these cartridges looks rather terrible on these particular handles and in an ideal world...I'd love to be able to get a completely black Mach 3 for my C&E handle...and a white one for the T&H one.
Would that make them shave any better? Of course not but part of why I enjoy the wetshaving hobby-collection-thing is that I also find many of these items very visually appealing.
Am I nuts?
Bonus question: Are there black and white Mach 3 cartridges?
