Based on this, I'd probably be inclined to say that a vintage razor wouldn't be good value for you. By the time you've sourced a mint one, or refurbished, you're potentially in to mid-top level artisan territory (having recently seen Carbon Shaving razors on Bests for £150). You're not going to get a better shave from a vintage razor, only the history which isn't worth the money if that's not what you're interested in.Aesthetic reasons are very important to me, I wouldn't shave with a razor that is in need of replating (OCD)...everytime I thought about a vintage razor, the ones in mint condition were too expensive.
I'm sure there are some great razors for some people but not for me.
Also, I'm not going to live another 100 years so I couldn't care less if in 100 years my SS razors are only good for paperweight
Your nether region? Finally getting race ready?Well, while you girls bicker I am going to shave.
Whether the razor is old or new is irrelevant, they are just blade holders. For me the real question is will DE blades still be manufactured in 100 years? If not then they will all be paperweights.
India, Russia and China are huge markets for de blades. If people weren't buying them in huge numbers in these countries nobody would still be making them.I was considering the fact that there seem to be a greater choice of DE blades on the market than there are modern disposable plastic razors. I had wondered whether many of the DE blades are mostly the same in different packaging. It is possible there is a bigger market for them that we realise?
